in rescue try to change the pitch percentage
Changhe 60% in 50 is later in 80
If you set another number does the swashplate move lower or if you lift higher ?(when active the rescue)

There is not change in pitch on the heli when Rescue Collective pitch is changed. And when I raise the heli from the ground the pitch does not change either.
Another clue that Rescue is not properly engaged is that when Rescue duration is enabled I would expect a change in pitch when the timer runs out. But there is no change, it stays at zero degrees.
Another small video to show that there is no change to pitch when resuce is enabled and I raise the heli up.

for me in the radio there is a mixer that escapes you.
Try to disable any dual rate expo set standard curves 0 25 50 75 100 and disable all functions.
in channel disables all functions rescue disables.
first let me see what stick center you have 0 degrees min stick -12 and max +12.
Post a video
and always check functions monitor on the radio and monitor on the software to check for any interfering mixers. and only then do you show me step by step how to activate the rescue

Its all good. Just trying to help out.
Really thought it was the Rescue Duration setting but guess I was wrong.
Maybe try a factory reset. Then make sure it has the lastest version flashed to unit. Then go through the setup wizard without connecting or setting up the geolink. From there believe there is a setup wizard for Rescue.
Other than that, thats all I got.
I will leave it to the experts.
Hope you get things sorted out.
Cheers

Try before using another button on the radio to activate rescue.
If It does not change anything.
Try to activate rescue using gyro sensitivity.
leave the channel method alone and try the gyro gain method to activate the rescue.
read the spirit manual to see how
Let me know

The log shows nothing in particular.
Attached is a log from today (from the ground) where I wiggle the sticks and enable rescue a few times. The Spirit appears to initialize normally with at little pitch bump etc.
And a log from a short testflight a few days ago:

when you move a parameter save close and turn off the helicopter.
do what i told you.
what servos do you have platter and tail?
but you tried to free the spirit ?
the spirit must be free you cannot place objects on top of the spirit.
Try another button giro gain for active rescue and free spirit.
servo plugs do not disconnect when turned on

Please make sure you really assigned F: Rescue mode and not P: Rescue Collective Pitch parameter.
