	For tail motor driven helicopters, there is a separate firmware available which takes the special features of a tail motor system into account. You can download the firmware via StudioX app by activating the "Tail motor" feature on the firmware update page. Please note that all data on your Microbeast will be reset if you install the "Tail motor" Firmware over the "Standard" Firmware. Also note the "Tail motor" firmware can only be used in conjunction with a sum signal receiver. The tail motor is activated by Microbeast from the throttle signal position or from the MICROBEAST governor function. This is only possible using a sum signal receiver.<br />		For tail motor driven helicopters, there is a separate firmware available which takes the special features of a tail motor system into account.

	First check the control direction of the remote control. Right = blue, left = red on the Microbeast or according to the display in StudioX. If the direction is wrong, reverse the control direction in the radio. There is no reverse function on the Microbeast. With "Tail motor" firmware direction is fixed!<br />		First check the control direction of the remote control. Right = blue, left = red on the Microbeast or according to the display in StudioX.

	The idle and full throttle positions cannot be tested in the StudioX menu, only adjusted. Idle speed should be selected so that the engine rotates very easily. You can use the Motor off setting to “search” for the position where the engine rotates very slightly, and then adopt it accordingly. Alternatively, you can go out of the menu completely and actually turn on the main motor and then just steer left and right to see how the tail motor behaves and how it is affected by minimum and maximum settings.

	As usual, you can setup nearly everything also without StudioX. At Setupmenu item '''E''' you can check the control directions of the remote control: red indicates left, blue indicates right. If colors are swapped, reverse stick direction on the radio. Switch on the main motor on the radio, then you can set the hover throtle position at menupoint '''E'''. To adjust the throttle tap the tail stick left/right. (ATTENTION!! Rear motor can rotate!)<br />		As usual, you can setup nearly everything also without StudioX.

	So now it's almost done. Just check the other setup steps as usual and you’re good to go. The swashplate servos still need to be trimmed. And the control directions from the transmitter must be checked and reversed if necessary. The settings for collective, swash limit and swash throw are already preset for the Logo 200/OMP M2 heli. Of course you can adjust these as needed, when using a different helicopter.<br />		So now it's almost done. Just check the other setup steps as usual and you’re good to go.

	Finally, use your radio to set the tail gyro. For the Logo 200/OMP M4 start with 60% of tail gain. Note that unlike the "big" helicopter with conventional tail rotor system, the gain value can be used for all flight modes. Since the tail motor turns independent from the main motor, it can always have the same setting. If tail has not enough stopping power and breaks when you fly around and move collective, it is necessary to increase the gain. The higher the gain, the tighter the tail is held. When the tail only breaks out during pitch pump, check RevoMix setting in StudioX. When gain is too high, the tail will start to overshoot and oscilate. Lower gain immediately in this case. We have also installed a RevoBoost parameter, which additionally accelerates the main motor when you want to steer to the left in order to give the tail an extra push. Left direction is difficult because you can only turn off the motor, but not actively force the tail to the left! Please note the RevoBoost is only active when using the Governor function of MICROBEAST.<br />		Finally, use your radio to set the tail gyro. For the Logo 200/OMP M4 start with 60% of tail gain.
