MICROBEAST PLUS HD is designed as „Heavy Duty“ version of MICROBEAST PLUS with an additional switchable high power input. It is particularly suitable for big electric and nitro or gas helicopters with standard sized servos and it reflects today‘s requirements for power supply like never before. The power supply port is realized by a well proven, high-quality connector and the casing is an aluminum composite construction. Regarding software MICROBEAST PLUS HD is not different to the smaller MICROBEAST PLUS.<br />

The MICROBEAST PLUS devices are offered with different software that may include optional feature sets. At the moment there are offered two versions of V4 firmware: the basic version and the full featured Pro-Edition with RPM-Governor and AttitudeControl ([[Manuals:MB_Plus:Preliminary_steps_2/en|click here]] for more infos). You can update devices with lower firmware version number and upgrade devices with a lower feature level at any time. As higher feature levels enhance the functionality of MICROBEAST PLUS we will charge some fee for these. Despite of the additional features there is no functional difference to the basic firmware. So if you don't need the additional features there is no must to buy them. Of course elementary software updates are free of charge.<br />
