(2) Now reduce the throttle channel output by setting the endpoints to 0% (or close to zero) so you barely get any movement on the throttle channel when moving the thrust stick. If this is done move the thrust stick all the way up and only now connect your ESC to the flight battery. You will hear a "bleep" tone from the ESC (motor), followed by a row of short tones indicating the number of cell count. Then there will be no more additional tone.<br />

(3) Increase the servo endpoint for throttle channel into the full throttle direction just until you will hear another "bleep" tone. In this case you the ESC will signalize that it has detected full throttle position. Increase the enpoint for about 2% as safety margin.<br />

(4) Bring the thrust stick all the way down to full stop position. When reaching center position you will again hear some short "bleep" sound. Increase the servo endpoint in full stop direction. When the ESC detects correct stop position now it will emit a double tone "bleep" "bleep". Again increase the enpoint for about 2% as safety margin and that's it. Now we can proceed with setting up the MICROBEAST RPM Governor function.<br />

(4) At menu point B again carefully decrease the throttle servo endpoint for throttle low stick position. The motor should start to run immediately when deacreasing the throttle a few percent. If it does, increase the endpoint by a few percent, so the motor will stop again. You can see that the Status LED on MICROBEAST PLUS changed to blue colour indicating that the adjustment has been detected.<br />

(6) Last step of transmitter setting is to setup your throttle curves resp. the desired rpms for the different flight phases. When moving the thrust stick at menu point D you can see the colour of the Status LED changing: at full stop position it's off, when increasing the throttle slightly it will get blue, it will be red over nearly the whole rest of the throttle range and lastly at full throttle position it'll get purple. So adjust your throttle curves using the indication of the LEDs.<br />

That's it. Switch back to your normal mode (motor off!) and proceed with the following steps E, F, G, H as described in the MICROBEAST PLUS ProEdition manual. After exiting the menus you can do a little bench test. When switching to idle up the motor should start to run slowly, then after a short time of stabilization the rpm will increase more forceful (it is not unusual that without rotor blades or with main gear removed beacuse of the unloaded condition the motor may run erratic or the rpm may pump a little bit during spoolup!). If it takes very long time (a few seconds) until the motor starts to initially run, you may readjust the throttle low point at Governor menu point B. Typically the distance between motor off and motor start position is too large then.
