The Spektrum AR7210BX is a Spektrum DSMX compatible receiver with integrated MICROBEAST PLUS gyro system. This system 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". This enables additional features like AttitudeControl for rescue bailout or constant leveling and a feature called Bank Switching which allows to change between different parameter presets in flight to serve different flight conditions or flying styles.<br />

To setup the AR7210BX system there is no need for any additional devices. All you need is your Spektrum RC 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). These apps are the source to get even more out of your device like saving/restoring paramaters, firmware updates, loading preset heli configurations and making advanced adjustment to fully customize your MICROBEAST PLUS to your needs.<br />

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_V5_EN.pdf MICROBEAST PLUS quick start guide] and only refer to the online manual if you have some specific question. Please note that the AR7210BX is nearly the same as a MICROBEAST PLUS. Only difference is that wiring layout is different and that you can use the AR7210BX with as Spektrum radio system only. So there is no Receiver Menu as with MICROBEAST PLUS to choose between different radio systems. Also the [http://www.beastx.com/download/manual/microbeast/MBPlus_QuickReferenceCard_V5_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 (apart from Receiver Menu which is slightly different on AR7210BX).<br />
