We say it is not safe to use a single remote satelite on anything bigger 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 />

===Can MICROBEAST PLUS be used with gasser helis, especially with RPM Governor and AttitudeControl?===
We did do several tests with gas powered helis and we do not see any restriction on this. Gas motors produce very low frequent vibrations which normally can be filtered by the gyro sensors very well. So you should be able to fly with MICROBEAST PLUS and use AttitudeControl without issues on gasser helis. Also the RPM Governor function can be used with gas motors. Only restriction is that a rpm sensor with digital sensor output (PWM) must be used for proper function. Analog sensors like the Futaba GV1 magnet sensor or StatorGator which are often installed on gasser helis should not be used.<br />
