Check very carefully whether all cables are plugged in correctly and all the plugs are connected properly at the correct position (Beast & receiver!). Especially in the vertical direction, not just 2 pins must sit on the header. Also make sure that the polarity is correct on all connections.

The roation speed is only determined by the length of the stick signal (and especially has nothing to do with your cyclic pitch adjustment at setup points J or L and also has nothing to do with the cyclic pitch when steering cyclic on the ground!). So increasing/decreasing the stick throw, mostly done by increasing/decreasing servo throw or using Dualrate in the TX for the specified function, will increase/decrease roation rate.

The rotation speed of the helicopter is only determined by the length of the stick output signal. The gyros measure the actual rotation rate and the system will move the helicopter as fast as it is determined by the stick position. So simply increasing/decreasing the stick throw (mostly done by increasing/decreasing servo throw or using Dualrate in the TX for the specified function) will increase/decrease rotaion rate. Note that the rotation rate in first line has nothing to do with your cyclic pitch adjustments at Setup menu points J or L and also has nothing to do with the cyclic pitch when steering cyclic on the ground! In flight the system will automaticaly control the pitch as it is necessary to maintain the given rate. So always setup the cyclic pitch as mentioned in the manual and do not rely on what you see when moving the sticks on the ground.

The presets in parameter B are nothing else than different preset dualrate/expo curves inside the MB. When using these it is recommended not to change the output signal in the TX as especially when using expo this will bend, compress or stretch the curves leading to very strange flight behavior (it just is not like adding 5% of expo as the curves between TX and Microbeast will multiply and not sum together!) If you like the feeling of course you can do this. For example a slight increase in stick throw for increasing the roll rate will not significantly deform the Microbeast's internal curve and can be done with no problem. But easiest thing would be to switch flight behaviour to "blue=TX" and adjust the curves in your transmitter as you like (therefor I'd suggest to start with 70% D/R and 25% expo on cylic and 85% D/R and 40% expo on tail). When setting parameter B to "blue = TX" these internal curves in MB will be disabled. So 100% stick should give 100% rotation rate. This may vary depending on TX brand as any manufacturer use another signal output as maximum. So this can be at 107 or 110% or also at 95%. Manufacturers calculate expo curves different, so we can't tell you what our preset curves correspond to which TXs expo values as we use our own expo and there is no data available for comparing. We did outfly these values and programmed them in the source code so we can't tell what these are in Futaba or JR percentages.

The presets at Parameter menu point B are nothing else than different preset dualrate/expo curves inside Microbeast. Choose the preset that fits your preferences best and that gives you a good amount of rotation rate. Using the presets (except for the "Transmitter" preset) it is recommended to not change the output signal in the TX significantly as especially when using expo this will bend, compress or stretch the curves, leading to very strange flight behavior. It just is not like adding 5% of expo as the curves between TX and Microbeast will multiply and not sum together! Anyhow you may do small adjustments in stick throw, i.e. for slightly increasing the roll rate. This will not significantly deform the Microbeast's internal curves.

But easiest thing to do would be to switch flight behaviour to preset blue (="Transmitter") and adjust the curves in your transmitter just as you like. Therefor we suggest to start with a setting of 70% D/R and 25% expo on cylic and 85% D/R and 40% expo on tail in the transmitter and adjust the curves accordingly. When setting parameter B to "blue = TX" the internal curves in Microbeast will be "disabled". Here 100% stick input will give a rotation rate of apprx. 600deg/s on the rudder axis and apprx. 400deg/s for the cyclic movements (this may vary depending on TX brand as any manufacturer use another signal output as maximum, so this also can be 107, 110% or 95%).

We are often asked which percentages of expo or dual rate corresponds to the different presets. As manufacturers calculate expo curves different, we can't tell you what our preset curves correspond to which TXs expo values as we use our own expo calculation and there is no data available for comparing. We did outfly these values and programmed them in the source code so we can't tell what these are in Futaba or JR percentages. If you want to use a specific preset as your starting point we suggest to connect your MICROBEAST to the StudioX software. Here you can see the different values for each control behavior preset and you can create a custom preset for which you may use the given values and adjust them until they perfectly fit your flying style.

If parameter B is set to blue and the tail gain is switched to heading lock mode you can see by the status LED at which tail stick position the maximum possible rotation rate on rudder will be reached: At that specific tail stick position it will start to flash. At this point the maximum gyro controlled rotation rate is reached. By increasing the stick throw any more the LED will go off. At this point the rate control is switched off and the tail will spin freely. Here the only limit is the maximum possible tail pitch throw and normaly the tail will spin ultra fast. This can be used for example for performaning tail slides or turns with very fast spinning tail. For normal flying around this is not recommended as you may accidentaly steer into the uncontrolled area and the tail may spin too fast or very uneven.

If Parameter menu point B is set to preset "blue" and the tail gain is switched to heading lock mode you can see in operation mode by the Status LED state at which tail

stick position the maximum possible rotation rate on rudder will be reached: At that specific tail stick position the Status LED will start to flash. Moving the stick

to this point in flight the rotation rate of the helicopter will be as high as the gyro can control. Increasing the stick throw further the LED will go off. At this  

point the rate control is switched off and the tail will spin freely. Here the only limit is the tail pitch throw and normaly the tail will spin ultra  

fast. This can be used for performing tail slides or turns with very fast spinning tail. For normal flying around you should not use this as you may  

accidentaly steer into the uncontrolled area and the tail may spin too fast or very uneven. So please check on the ground that the Status LED will not go off when giving

full rudder stick deflection in your default flight modes.
