<br />With high frequencies, some servos run in a jerky manner, especially the fast ones with coreless or brushless servos. This is due to the high update rate that the servo receives. This is not critical and will not impact flight performance.}}

To select the desired servo frequency, move the rudder stick repeatedly in one direction until the Status-LED lights in the correct color:

Now plug in the swashplate servos, but do not install the servo horns yet as the servos could bind and get damaged on first power up:

With electronic swashplate mixing the two aileron servos have to be connected to CH2 and CH3 (the left/right ordering does not matter).<br />

{{QUOTE|When you route the wire leads in your model make sure that there is no tension passed to the MICROBEAST PLUS. Make sure that MICROBEAST PLUS is able to move freely, so no vibrations get passed onto the unit by the wire leads. It is not recommended to bundle or tie down the leads close to the MICROBEAST PLUS. On the other hand the wires must be attached so that they are unable to move the MICROBEAST PLUS during the flight caused by g-force. In particular, do not use any shrink tubing or fabric hose to bundle or encase the wiring in close proximity to the point at which the cables are plugged into the MICROBEAST PLUS. This makes the cables stiff and inflexible and can cause vibrations being transmitted to MICROBEAST PLUS.}}<br />
