Beastx MICROBEAST PLUS Quick Start Manual page 4

• When operating the RPM Governor feature of MICROBEAST PLUS it is essential to ensure that the motor
cannot start by accident when making adjustment or performing preparations to start the engine.
Carefully read this manual and make sure you fully understand how the RPM Governor feature is
operated before making any adjustments. Also make sure the motor does not start when the radio link
is interrupted or when you switch on the transmitter initially. With electric driven models do not dock
the motor to the main gear unless all necessary adjustment procedures have been finished. Always
maintain sufficient safety distance to the motor and other rapidly rotating components of the
helicopter.
• MICROBEAST PLUS with AttitudeControl can be used as a flying aid for beginners by limiting the
reaction of the helicopter to stick inputs and by stabilizing the helicopter with a electronic control loop.
However, this does not provide that the helicopter can always be flown safely! By incorrect control
inputs the helicopter still may crash or be placed in a position in which the pilot becomes disoriented
even when using AttitudeControl. In addition, the helicopter can drift due to external influences and it
is not guaranteed that the artificial horizon of the device can stabilize the helicopter at any time and
recover from any orientation. Influences such as temperature fluctuations or vibrations may cause
incorrect results and distort the position calculation of the system in consequence. There is no
guarantee that the system will always work correctly. Only the pilot is responsible for the control of the
helicopter and thus also for the use of the system. Note that the system for technical reasons will not
hold the helicopter absolutely to the point. The unstable tendency of a helicopter will cause the model
to fly in a certain direction even when using AttitudeControl. External influences such as wind can
further strengthen this effect. In addition measurement inaccuracies of the sensors can distort the
position determination slightly. You must always be able to turn off the system immediately and be
able to take over full control of the helicopter.
• We suggest you to seek the support of an experienced helicopter pilot before you undertake the first
flight of your model. Additionally, flight training with a R/C simulator can help make flying easier and
more enjoyable. Ask your local dealer if you need technical support or if you observe problems during
the usage of our system.
• AttitudeControl can help to facilitate flying of model helicopters by briefly passing over control to the
system if the pilot becomes disoriented. By using the built-in artificial horizon the helicopter can be
brought to a nearly horizontal position so that the pilot gains time to reorient. Thus, there can be no
assurance that the model is saved from a crash in general. Depending on the current attitude and the
speed of the model and depending on how fast the AttitudeControl is activated, the model may crash
before or while the system tries to recover. In addition, the helicopter can drift due to external influences
and it is not guaranteed that the artificial horizon of the device can stabilize the helicopter at any time
and recover from any orientation. Influences such as temperature fluctuations or vibrations may cause
incorrect results and distort the position calculation of the system in consequence. Strictly observe the
general safety rules for dealing with RC models and do not totally rely on the system. The pilot is
responsible for the control of the helicopter and thus also for the use of the system. You must always be
able to turn off the system immediately and be able to take over full control of the helicopter.
