If the stick is not moving far enough, you will see the message "Move stick to max. position! Check Status LED." In this case '''increase the servo throw/endpoint of the aileron or elevator channel in the transmitter just as far so that the Status LED changes from flashing to solid when the stick(s) reach the end position and the label in the software disappears'''. (Note: Do not increase the endpoints too much in the transmitter. We need an exact match of full stick position and stick end position. So the Status LED should just changes from flashing to solid when reaching the end position.)<br />

{{QUOTE|Always set servo direction in the transmitter first, then check the display on the MICROBEAST PLUS or in the software and change the internal control direction if it does not match the real direction. '''Do not change the internal direction in order to change the servo direction! This is only used for telling the gyro in which direction it must move the swashplate.''' Be very conscientious when doing this setup step as wrong gyro direction will cause loss of control during takeoff and you probably crash the helicopter!<br />

If the stick is not moving far enough, you will see the message "Increase!" In this case '''increase the servo throw/endpoint of the aileron or elevator channel in the transmitter just as far so that the Status LED changes from flashing to solid when the stick reaches the end position and the label in the software changes to "OK"'''. (Note: Do not increase the endpoints too much in the transmitter. We need an exact match of full stick position and stick end position. So the Status LED should just changes from flashing to solid when reaching the end position.)<br />
