===MICROBEAST PLUS - What's that?===
<p>
<p>
MICROBEAST PLUS is the official successor of the famous MICROBEAST flybarless system. In comparance to MICROBEAST the hardware has been revised thoroughly to be on par with the state of the art. Latest MEMS sensors and faster processing gives a more precise control in all flight situations. At the moment MICROBEAST PLUS can only be used in combination with RC model helicopters. Different application types will be available soon.</p>
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 the "ProEdition" which enables additional features like AttitudeControl for recue bailout or constant leveling.</p>
