At this step it is important to define the mechanical possible range of your helicopter, not to define your flying style. For example, when using a 3D trainer helicopter frame, this usually will have a symmetric pitch range, i.e. reaching from +12 to -12 degrees. Now when you are a beginner or scale pilot you would not need that high amount of pitch (especially not in the negative section). Anyhow, it is not recommended to set the pitch range asymmetrical to -4 to +12 degrees for example, as this would not represent the helicopters capability. Better is to set the endpoints to -12 and +12 degrees. Later use the pitch curves in your radio to adjust the negative pitch to your preferred flying style. Have a look in your helicopter's manual to find out what is the optimum pitch range.<br />

2. Afterwards check the Status LED color: on <span style="color: #4169E1;">'''positive pitch'''</span> it must be <span style="color: #4169E1;">'''blue'''</span>, on <span style="color: #DC143C;">'''negative pitch'''</span> it must light in <span style="color: #DC143C;">'''red'''</span> color. '''In case the display is inverted''' (red = positive and blue = negative), tap the '''rudder stick''' once to reverse the internal pitch direction of MICROBEAST ULTRA.<br />

3. When you move '''thrust stick to full deflection''' the Status LED should light '''solid''', not just flash. If this is not the case '''increase the servo throw/endpoint of the collective pitch channel''' in the transmitter for each direction just as far as the Status LED changes from flashing to solid when the stick reaches the end positions. (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 change from flashing to solid when reaching the end position.)<br />

4. Finally adjust the maximum collective pitch when the thrust stick is at full deflection. '''Increase or decrease the maximum amount of collective pitch''' with '''aileron''' (left = decrease, right = increase). Then move the thrust to full negative and again adjust the pitch using the rudder.<br />

1. Move the '''thrust''' stick up and down and check whether the '''pitch is changing direction correctly'''. If not already done at SETUP MENU point '''H''', '''use the reverse function for the collective pitch channel in the transmitter''' to reverse direction of pitch movement in case it is wrong.<br />

3. If the '''stick is not moving far enough''', you will see the message "Increase!". In this case '''increase the servo throw/endpoint of the collective pitch channel in the transmitter''' for each direction just as far so that the Status LED changes from flashing to solid and the label changes to "OK" in the software when the stick reaches the end positions. (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 change from flashing to solid when reaching the end position.)<br />
