	MICROBEAST PLUS is a gyro system which is used to stabilize and control your flybarless RC Helikopter on all three flight axis. It can be used with many different types of helicopters like 3D aerobatic helis, F3C competition helicopters as well as scale helicopters with 2 or more rotorblades. The system comes with basic flybarless stabilization functionality and can be upgraded by paid update to additional features like Recue bailout for constant leveling, Bank Switching that allows to change between different parameter presets in flight or Telemetry that will transfer your MICROBEAST PLUS in a communication hub between telemtry devices and your radio system. If you like you can get the MICROBEAST PLUS PRO-Edition that gives access to all available features now and in future.<br />		MICROBEAST PLUS is a gyro system which is used to stabilize and control your flybarless RC Helikopter on all three flight axis.

	To setup MICROBEAST PLUS there is no need for any additional devices. All you need is your radio system and your helicopter. Thanks to the well proven EasySetup system you can do all the necessary adjustment directly at the device and in very short time. If you like to get more insight into the system and ~~like to have~~ a more visualized type of setup you can ~~also~~ 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).

	~~=Additional guides= <!--T:10-->~~
	This online manual is very extensive and covers all topics in detail, i.e. radio setup, mechanical helicopter setup, power distribution, description of additional features and of course all the menu adjustments and what these do and what they are necessary for. So reading this manual can give you a detailed knowledge about the system and should help to give answers to almost all questions you may have. Anyhow, for a first start you may just go with the [http://www.beastx.com/download/manual/microbeast/MBPlus_QuickStart_V52_EN.pdf quick start guide] and only refer to the online manual if you have some specific question. Also the [http://www.beastx.com/download/manual/microbeast/MBPlus_QuickReferenceCard_V52_EN.pdf quick reference card] can give you a good overview for the different menu structures and adjustment procedures that can be performed directly at the device.<br />
