Line 208: − ===Why is using MICROBEAST in combination with a single Spektrum Satellite only recommended for helis smaller than 450 size?===+ − When using an EU Version of the Spektrum TX we say it is not safe to use a single satellite on anything greater than Trex 450 size as the chassis on larger helis may hide the satellite in different positions. So you will loose direct sight between TX and RX more easily. Additonaly with larger helis typically you fly further away than with small helis, so this doubles the risk of loosing the RF link. When using a US version of the Spektrum radio with 300mW output power this can be different as this radio by default has much higher output power than the EU radios. But as said this also depends on many factors (Where is the satellite placed? Does it give direct sight to the TX in any flight condition? 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. That's why we only recommend to use this setup on small helis as this can be considered as safe application.<br /> − <br />

Note that all the speed is useless if the torque is not enough. In doubt when two servos of a series are only slightly different in speed and torque, normaly the more powerful is in advantage.<br />

Anyhow, if in doubt ask the manufacturer of the servo if it can be used in combination with flybarless/gyro systems. Not all servos can handle the additional stress of getting different control signals every few milliseconds. Also it must be said that not all servos can be used at maximum frequency even if so it is told on the servo's data sheet. Depending on air temperature, voltage level and heli size it is possible that servos can not be driven at their limit as the servo motor or electronics may heat up too much.

If on the other hand you have at least two or even three BEC lines then this can be different as you may solder the power wires from the BEC together to the MICROBEAST PLUS HD high power plug. Then you have a much lower contact resistance compared to only connect the wires using the standard servo plugs, which is a real benefit for providing a stable power supply. Ideally you have a BEC or receiver battery that already comes with thick power wires. Here it is ideal to use MICROBEAST PLUS HD.<br />

When using a separate receiver battery i.e. on nitro or gas helis using MICROBEAST PLUS HD is the ideal way to connect the battery to your rc system. In addition to the adequate connection plug here you have an integrated switch system for switching the heli on and off, so there is no need to buy an extra switch.

===Why is using a single Spektrum remote satelite directly connected to MICROBEAST/MICROBEAST PLUS only recommended for helis smaller than 450 size?===
We say it is not safe to use a single remote satelite on anything greater than Trex 450 size as the chassis on larger helis may hide the satelite in different flight situations. So you will loose direct sight between TX and RX more easily on larger helis. Additionaly with larger helis typically 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 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 satelite placed? Is direct sight to the TX in any flight condition guranteed? 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 />

* Is the correct type of receiver selected in the [[Manuals:MB_Plus:Receiver_setup_intro|receiver setup menu]]? Particularly when using a Spektrum® radio system note that receivers like Spektrum® AR6100, 7000, 9000 etc. are "Standard" receivers! The selection of "Spektrum®" in the receiver setup menu only applies for direct connection of one single Spektrum satellite with the optional available adapter. In general when using a serial-wire receiver check if the Status-LED lights up in "blue" color at [[Manuals:MB_Plus:Receiver_setup_menu_B|Receiver setup menu point '''B''']] indicating there is a valid signal coming from the receiver.
