Page 3: Safety Notes
SAFETY NOTES • Radio controlled (R/C) helicopters are no toys! The rotor blades rotate at high speed and pose potential risk. They may cause severe injury due to improper usage. It is necessary to observe common safety rules for R/C models and the local law. You can gather information from your local R/C model club or from your national modelers association. - 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.
- Page 5 Please follow this guide carefully and make sure to read the attached safety notes. For a detailed instruction manual and further details, tipps, tricks and notes about the product please visit WIKI.BEASTX.COM If you like to get more insight into the system and like to have a more visualized type of setup you can use the StudioX App for PC/mac or StudioXm for your smartphone/tablet in combination with the USB2SYS interface (PC/mac) or BLE2SYS interface (smartphone/tablet) (optional available).

Page 6: Hardware Installation
1. HARDWARE INSTALLATION You can position MICROBEAST PLUS flat or upright on the helicopter. The large socket must point to the front or to the rear of the helicopter. The small white socket must be aligned with the longitudinal axis. The sensor axis (housing edges of the device) must be aligned exactly parallel to all three rotation axis of the helicopter. -

When using a DSM2 remote satellite, push and hold the button. Turn on power while still holding the button down. The LED on the satellite will flash together with Menu LED N on MICROBEAST PLUS. When binding a DSMX remote satellite do not touch the button, only power on the device.
- Page 9 3. PREPARING YOUR TRANSMITTER Create a new helicopter model memory in your transmitter that supplies different flight modes for controling throttle, pitch and the tail gyro gain in different flight situations. You mustn‘t use any mixing functions on the output channels! Especially it is not allowed to use mixing functions for the swashplate servos.

- Page 14 Setup menu point E - Rudder servo limit Plug the rudder servo connector into [CH4] output of MICROBEAST PLUS. Put the servo arm on the servo so that it forms roughly an angle of 90 degrees with the rudder linkage rod and adjust the length of the linkage rod as described in the helicopter manual.

Move the rudder stick and check the rudder direction on the helicopter Correct Wrong Rudder stick to the right Tail rotor pushes tail left, so heli turns to right. Tail rotor pushes tail right, so heli turns to left. If the stick is moving the servo into the wrong direction use the servo reverse function of your transmitter and reverse the rudder channel to change stick control direction.

- Page 17 Setup menu point H - Swashplate servo directions Move the thrust stick and check whether all servos push the swashplate up and down simultaneously. If this is not the case by tapping the rudder stick you can select one servo after another. Every color of the Status-LED is corresponding to a specific servo channel that is indicating its selection by a short up and down move.
- Page 18 Setup menu point I - Swashplate control directions 1. Move the stick(s) for aileron and elevator on the radio and check whether the swashplate is moved in the correct directions on the helicopter. The swashplate must follow the stick movement: pushing elevator forward will tilt the swashplate forwards, adding aileron to the right will move the swash to the right and so on.
- Page 19 Setup menu point J - Swashplate servo trim At SETUP MENU point J we trim the servo center positions, so that each servo horn forms an exact 90 degrees angle with the adjustment linkage. This is necessary as you will not be able to attach the servo horns in exact center position to the servo. After all servos have been trimmed do not proceed to the next menu point, yet.

Move rudder stick to adjust Use aileron/elevator sticks to adjust collective pitch swashplate leveling Setup menu point K - Swashplate servo throw At SETUP MENU point K we adjust the internal servo throw so that MICROBEAST PLUS has a reference on how far it must move the servos when controlling the helicopter.

The Status LED must light solid blue, not just flash. If this is not the case, increase the servo throw/endpoint of the pitch channel in the transmitter just as far so that the Status LED changes from flashing to solid when the thrust stick reaches the end position.
- Page 22 Setup menu point N - Internal Headspeed Governor This menu point is only accessible if you‘re not using a Standard type receiver! Otherwise pressing the button at menu point M will exit the menu and lead back to operation mode. Enable the Headspeed Governor function by choosing the type of drive system of your helicopter.
- Page 23 6. GOVERNOR SETUP MENU Governor menu point A - Test mode (Menu LED A flashing slowly) If the Governor was activated at SETUP MENU point N (set to „electric“ or „nitro/gas heli“) you will access the Governor menu immediately afterwards. At point A we check if the speed sensor is functioning properly and if the sensor wire is connected correctly.
- Page 24 Governor menu point C - Full throttle position Move throttle to maximum position. Note: In electric governor mode the throttle input will not be passed to CH5 output to prevent from motor damage by running the motor without load! Thus, you have to check before that the full throttle position runs the motor at maximum speed in reality, i.e.
- Page 25 The second option to control the Governor for nitro/gas helicopters is to use a separate switch channel. Here the throttle curves/throttle channel is used for manual throttle servo control only. The Governor is activated and the headspeed is set by using the additional channel.
- Page 26 7. FLYING AND OPTIMIZATION The tail gyro gain is adjusted by one of the transmitter‘s auxiliary channels. The more servo throw this channel produces, the higher the tail gyro gain will be. The direction of servo throw determines whether the gyro works in Normal-Rate mode or in HeadingLock mode.
