Servo Speed Equalization. The aim of this parameter is to remove the collective "bobbing" when fast elevator changes are applied.

The bobbing happens because the elevator servo has to move double distance vs. the aileron servos, when elevator position is changed.
The bobbing happens because the elevator servo has to move twice the distance vs. the aileron servos, when elevator position is changed.
If the change is faster than the servos can go, the aileron servos will reach the target sooner than the elevator servo, causing the swash to jump slightly in the process.

To tune this value increase the speed value (it's actually ms/60°, like in the servo datasheet) until the bobbing is not visible any more. It should be always ok to use the value from the servo datasheet if unsure.
