Stick deadzone (E)

The deadzone defines the range around the very center of the stick in which the BEASTX System will not react to stick inputs. Unfortunately, some transmitters available on the market have the problem that when the sticks are brought back to the center position after a stick input, they aren't exactly at the same center position as before. This generates a continuous deviation on the corresponding function, even though the stick seems to be at mid position. This deviation is interpreted as a small input by the system, which leads to an unwanted drift on one or more axes. You can see and feel this especially in hovering flight, when the helicopter keeps turning slightly in one direction or another. This makes it difficult to hover precisely, as it is hard to find a stick position at which no input is sent to the system. This can be very dangerous, as it may cause the helicopter to tip over when trying to take off, or it can cause the pilot to lose control of the helicopter entirely! So increase the stick deadband stepwise, just until you no longer see such effects. Note that as a result of a large stick deadband there will be a wide range around the mid-stick position in which the system will not react to stick inputs - this makes the control less precise. So if using a "large" or "very large" deadband is necessary, we recommend having your transmitter checked by its manufacturer for damaged or worn stick potentiometers.
