=MICROBEAST vs. MICROBEAST PLUS=
==MICROBEAST ULTRA==
MICROBEAST ULTRA is the successor of MICROBEAST PLUS. This device is the quintessence of more than 10 years of development and expertise in stabilization systems for RC helicopters. It combines all the features of the previous BEASTX systems and is ready for the future with a modern ARM Cortex MPU with even more computing power and storage capacity. The system is equipped with with an ultra fast MCU and latest MEMS sensors for measuring the aircraft‘s rotational movement with unprecedented precision. Currently the functions are almost identical to MICROBEAST PLUS but this may change with future firmware updates. Please note that it is not possible to convert from Plus to Ultra as the differences are hardware-related!<br />

==MICROBEAST vs. MICROBEAST PLUS==
MICROBEAST was the first product of BEASTX company. It is a flybarless unit that can be programmed without the need for a computer or external programming device. Its unique EasySetup makes it possible to program the system within a few minutes just by using the button on the unit and your transmitter. There are not many parameters to adjust as MICROBEAST can be used with nearly any RC helicopter model "out of the box".<br />

==MICROBEAST PLUS from ALIGN==
MICROBEAST PLUS devices included in ALIGN T-Rex kits come with Firmware Version 4.x.x or 5.x.x '''BASIC'''. You can upgrade/update/register and use these devices just like any other MICROBEAST PLUS. Only difference is that these devices are carrying the ALIGN logo on the housing.
