Alternatively you may use the "Multi-Rotor" vehicle type. This will provide a very fast and immediate throttle control and thus provide maximum performance of the MICROBEAST's RPM Governor. Adjusting throttle response and brake function is not necessary here and not provided. Please note that this mode doesn't feature any dynamic limitation. Depending on the motor this can cause very high current spikes and overheating of the motor. Only use at your own risk!<br />

When using a Castle EDGE controllers with the provided rpm signal cable, make sure the "Auxiliary wire mode" is set to "RPM out". Otherwise there will not be any rpm signal on this wire:

That's it. '''Switch back to your normal mode (motor off!)''' and proceed with the following steps E, F, G, H as described in the MICROBEAST PLUS ProEdition manual. After exiting the menus you can do a little bench test. When switching to idle up the motor should start to run slowly, then after a short time of stabilization the rpm will increase more forceful (it is not unusual that without rotor blades or with main gear removed the motor may run erratic or the rpm may pump a little bit during spoolup because of the unloaded condition!). If it takes very long time (a few seconds) until the motor starts to initially run or if it doesn't start to run at all, you have to readjust the throttle low point at Governor menu point B. Typically the distance between motor off and motor start position is too large then and as the integrated RPM Governor will not increase the throttle without any limitation for safety reason, the actual motor starting point of the ESC will not be reached.

===Using Firmware Version 4.2.x or higher and "External Governor" mode===
With MICROBEAST PLUS / AR7210BX Firmware Version 4.2.x or higher it is possible to use the "External Governor" mode of your Castle Creations ESC. This will allow to let the ESC do the initial rotor spool up as well as the quick spool up after an auto rotation maneuver and can result in a softer motor start/less motor torque than when powering up the motor in "Fixed wing" mode as this is optimzed for turning air screws. For this purpose you must disable the soft start feature on the MICROBEAST PLUS / AR7210BX which can be done using the Expert Parameter tab in StudioX. Basically the setup procedure is very similar as already shown above, just you need to change a few parameters by software.<br />

Now proceed as described above:
* First define [[#Transmitter setup (endpoint adjustment)|throttle endpoints in the transmitter]]. This must be done even if you've done it already before in "Fixed wing" or "Multirotor" mode, as in "External Governor" the endpoints will be slightly different!
* Then open MICROBEAST's Receiver setup menu, assign functions and [[#Failsafe setup|set the low throttle failsafe position]] in case your low throttle value changed in the transmitter.
* Finally do the complete [[#Governor setup menu|Governor Setup]] or at least teach new throttle low and high point to MICROBEAST PLUS / AR7210BX if the Governor mode was already in use before with a different firmware version and another ESC operation mode.
