	===Can MICROBEAST PLUS be used with gasser helis, especially with RPM Governor and AttitudeControl?===		===Can MICROBEAST PLUS be used with gasser helis, especially with RPM Governor and AttitudeControl?===
	We did do several tests with gas powered helis and we do not see any restriction on this. Gas motors produce very low frequent vibrations which normally can be filtered by the gyro sensors very well. So you should be able to fly with MICROBEAST PLUS and use AttitudeControl without issues on gasser helis. Also the RPM Governor function can be used with gas motors. Only restriction is that a rpm sensor with digital sensor output (PWM) must be used for proper function. Analog sensors like the Futaba GV1 magnet sensor or StatorGator which are often installed on gasser helis can't be used.<br />		We did do several tests with gas powered helis and we do not see any restriction on this.

	===MICROBEAST / MICROBEAST PLUS with single SPEKTRUM remote satellite on large helis===		===MICROBEAST / MICROBEAST PLUS with single SPEKTRUM remote satellite on large helis===
	''Why is using a single SPEKTRUM remote satellite ~~directly connected to MICROBEAST / MICROBEAST PLUS~~ only recommended for helis equal or smaller than 450 size?''<br />		''Why is using a single SPEKTRUM remote satellite only recommended for helis equal or smaller than 450 size?''<br />
	<br />		<br />
	We say it is not safe to use a single remote satellite on anything bigger than TRex 450 size as the chassis on larger helis may hide the satellite in different flight situations. So you will loose direct sight between TX and RX more easily on larger helis. Additionally with large helis you fly further away than with small helis, so this doubles the risk of loosing the RF link when the satelite antenna is hidden. Using an EU Version of the SPEKTRUM TX even more it is very likely the RF link may get disturbed in such situations as these radios do not have so much RF power output. If using an US version of the SPEKTRUM radio with 300mW output power this can be different though. But also here we can't give a general rule, as the quality of RF link depends on many other factors like such mentioned above (Where is the satellite placed? Is direct sight to the TX in any flight condition guaranteed? How far do you fly away? Are there obstacles in your flying field like tress or houses? ...). So it's hard to give a definitive limit and we only recommend to use this setup on small helis as this can be considered as safe application.<br />		We say it is not safe to use a single remote satellite on anything bigger than TRex 450 size as the chassis on larger helis may hide the satellite in different flight situations.

	Anyhow, the color is not a fixed value that is a must to reach. If you get blue you have something similar to 80% usable servo throw. The further you can go the higher the value will be. So everything from blue upwards will give a good resolution and you won't feel any disadvantages. If using good, precise high class servos, strong and with fast speed you even can fly with only red LED without any noticeable difference. Also rotorblades (flybarless blades or not) can make a difference.		Anyhow, the color is not a fixed value that is a must to reach.

	On a 250 or 450 size heli you should try to get "dark blue" at exactly 6.0° as here servos normally are not so precise.<br />		On a 250 or 450 size heli you should try to get "dark blue" at exactly 6.0° as here servos normally are not so precise.<br />

			===Setup menu point N - Adjusting pirouette optimization is not accessible anymore or testmode does not work===
			With firmware version 4.x.x you have to choose the exact mounting direction of the device at Setup menu point A. So we can directly determine the necessary direction for pirouette optimization. Manual adjustment is not necessary anymore and therefore it was removed from Setup menu point N. Instead menu point N now serves to enable the internal Headspeed Governor (but only in combination with a single line receiver/remote satellite!). Please carefully read the manual for your firmware version and especially make sure you've set menu point A correctly!<br />
