Hi

In the manual you can see:

Cyclic Ring Activated:
Cyclic achieved its maximum tilt angle. This state indicates the model was unable to do desired correction as necessary. In the most cases it is not relevant. But it is possible that value of Cyclic Ring parameter is too low and model can't rotate as fast as intended in aileron/elevator axes. Alternatively too high value for rotation speed is configured. It is also possible that in fast forward flight the model can pitch­up rapidly. We recommend to set this parametr as high as mechanically possible.

Rudder Limit Reached:
Rudder servo reached its configured limit. When event happened before or after a flight it is not a problem. In case you can see this in time of flight it clearly indicates that rudder did not operate correctly. In the most cases it is visible during flight so the rudder is kicking off. If model is configured correctly then it could be for example low rudder efficiency – blades are too short, low head speed.
There is possibility of a mechanical issue too or rudder limits are Inadequate.
