MICROBEAST PLUS HD Pro Edition -Our deliveries are fresh, so you can be sure to get the latest version!

MICROBEAST PLUS HD Pro Edition is a 3-axis control system for flybarless RC model helicopters. MEMS sensors of the latest generation measure the aircraft′s rotational movement with unprecedented precision and transmit the data digitally and in real time to the system.
The housing made of plastic composite material keeps the weight of MICROBEAST PLUS sensationally low.

The sophisticated setup can quickly be done everywhere and no expensive programming box or computer is needed. So many settings can also be changed simply and easily at the flying field.
Further options are available with the optional USB2SYS interface and the StudioX software package. MICROBEAST PLUS can be kept up to date by using the update functionality and advanced pilot can thus customize the unit specifically to their needs.

The device comes with Firmware ProEdition: Additional to basic functionality as flybarless and tail gyro system, an internal RPM Governor function for helicopters with electric or combustion drive is included as well as the AttidudeControl function which can level the helicopter automatically. This allows to activate different training aids like bail out rescue mode, 3D-Mode or flight trainer mode.

This version is designed as "Heavy Duty" version of MICROBEAST PLUS Pro Edition with an additional switchable high power input. It is particularly suitable for 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. By using the included switch, the system can be activated electronically and remains operational even if the switch is disconnected by accident. Due to this fact the high power connection may be used without the switch at all. MICROBEAST PLUS HD has a housing in aluminum composite construction.

Governor mode :

The RPM Governor can be used for electric and nitro helicopters. It has built in soft start and autorotation bail out function. The control it quite similar to electric speed controllers with governor function, so you simply set your throttle curves as switches for "motor off", "headspeed 1", "headspeed 2" and "autorotation bailout".
Adjusting complex throttle curves is not necessary anymore and the helicopter will maintain the specified rotor head speed over the whole flight. Optional the nitro governor can be also used in classic style with throttle curves and a separate switch for governor/rpm control.

Attitude Control :

"Attitude Control" offers different modes of self leveling. These are "Bailout rescue mode", "3D-Mode" and "Flighttrainer mode" with angular limitation. Basically when you activate the Attitude Control it will turn your helicopter back to level position when you release the sticks.
Some modes additionaly apply collective pitch input and lock your thrust stick in the ground direction. So the unit will turn your helicopter and keep it leveled in hovering flight regardless of how the pilot moves the stick.

Try everything and improve your skill with Microbeast Plus HD Pro Edition !

New altitude sensor technology, high resolution, fly in high wind conditions more accurately, low error drift by temperature and long flight time.

Integrated on-board MCU to communicate with FBL unit using full-duplex communication, push-pull IO (not I2C) for low noise and more reliability.

A. Functions:

Automatically hold position according to GPS/GLONASS, keep altitude in center joystick.

GPS rescue: If your helicopter is reversed or tilted more than 15 degrees, it will automatically activate rescue, the helicopter will fly straight up, then automatically brakes and enters GPS flight mode when you switch to GPS flight mode by transmitter.

Return to Home: the helicopter automatically returns home when channel 5 (gear) is switched on transmitter, or radio signal is lost.

B. Installation steps:

Need to setup Maxx FBL to fly normally without GPS Add-on board. Then set channel 5 of Transmitter to negative value (less than center 1520us) in GPS flight mode, for example -40, tail gain will be like 40 but Maxx unit will activate rescue mode and GPS flight mode.

Note: Recommended to set low RPM in GPS flight mode to ensure less vibration at high frequencies.

Put the Maxx GPS system on the tail boom by foam tape, at least 10cm away from the tail servo/motor with micro size, and at least 20cm with 600/700 size

Connect the Maxx GPS system to the Maxx flybarless Unit via the Maxx Bus port of the Maxx Flybarless (program card port).

Compass Calibration (at the field):

Fast switching flight mode by your transmitter more than 3 times per second. The red LED on the Maxx FBL will flash quickly, indicating that the instrument is in compass calibration mode.

Rotation your helicopter more than 2 turns with the vertical axis perpendicular to the ground. The Red LED stops blinking indicating that the calibration is done.

C. Take off and fly with GPS flight mode:

Hold lock throttle by your transmitter switch, set the collective pitch joystick to the lowest level, turn on the helicopter power and wait for the red LED on the Flybarless to flash to indicating GPS/GLONASS signal is on.

Continue to wait until the red light turns off indicating that the GPS/GLONASS signal is enough to fly.

Unlock the throttle and move the pitch joystick up to the over center when you feel the RPM of main blades is enough to take off.

When the heli reaches the desired height, put the pitch joystick to the center, move the position of helicopter by cyclic joystick on your transmitter.

The MICROBEAST ULTRA is the quintessence of more than 10 years of development and realization of stabilization systems for RC helicopters. It combines all the properties of the previously released BEASTX systems and is armed for the future with a modern ARM Cortex MPU with even more computing power and storage capacity.

What can the MICROBEAST ULTRA
The MICROBEAST ULTRA is a control unit for RC model helicopters. The helicopter is largely stabilized by the integrated gyro elements, so that it only follows the pilot's control commands. Almost all remote control systems on the market are supported and, thanks to the update option, newly released systems can also be continuously installed. The system can be expanded to include additional useful functions via paid upgrades. A telemetry connection is available in which the MICROBEAST ULTRA acts as an interface between the various sensor systems and remote control standards. With the AttitudeControl we offer additional position stabilization and rescue of the model for flight training and beginner training. The bank switching allows different parameter sets,
The system can be configured using the extensive StudioX app, which is available for almost all platforms (requires additional USB or Bluetooth interface). If you like it very "old school", you can also do without a smartphone and interface. As with the first MICROBEAST, most functions can be set up with a button on the device and with the remote control using the LEDs.

VBar NEO + Gyro Sensor, with 6.1 Express Software (available end of May)

Our new VBar platform is called NEO and is the sucessor of both VBar Mini and VBar Silverline. It contains latest sensor technology and top processing power.

The size of the VBar NEO is slightly bigger than the VBar Mini, but it provides the connectivity of a Silverline. If features 9 fully usable servo outputs, a rpm sensor input, a connector for an external sensor, two telemetry ports, and an integrated USB port.

The main advantage is the sensor array that contains two different multi axis sensors, which provide best performance even on high vibration loads by working together. The power supply has been hardened against spikes from servos that have insufficient internal filtering of their own glitches.

VBar NEO will come with the Express configuration. It has much more features as the current Express version, i.e. it contains the electirc governor already. So it fits the basic needs to be used with VBar Control.

Pro configuration contains extended parameter access, and the usage of Macrocells. Macrocells are a new type of programming complex functionality specially for bigger and more complex models. Pro implicitely includes the VPlane license.

The top configuration is Pro Rescue, which adds the Rescue feature to the Pro version.

To use all the new features, an update of the VBar Control is required. It is now available. The update is fully backwards compatible, so all current devices can be used without change.

Even Express contains a updated 6.1 control loop, that contains a special anti ballooning facility to provide a better stability at high speed, as well as much improoved performace at flying with very low rpm. The violent ballonig effect on the edge at high speed is almost gone!

You find detailed instructions how to proceed with VBar NEO. New Apps are described in the VBar Control User Manual. All updates will be performed with the VBar Control Manager. The Changelog shows all changes in detail.

NANOBEAST control unit for small RC model helicopters

The NANOBEAST is a control unit for small and smallest RC model helicopters without auxiliary rotor level.
The integrated gyroscopic elements stabilize the helicopter as much as possible so that it follows only the control commands of the pilot. The steering feel can be adjusted from tame to extremely agile.
Thus, the model meets almost all requirements of pilots, no matter if beginner or 3D professional. Through a paid firmware upgrade, the system can be extended to "ProEdition".
This offers additional functions such as the AttitudeControl for position stabilization and rescue of the model in unsafe attitude, as well as a bank switching, which allows to switch between different parameter sets in flight.
For basic setting and tuning of the system a computer (Windows / mac), a smartphone or tablet (iOS / Android) with Bluetooth LE is required. Depending on the technology used, you will still need a USB2SYS (for computer) or BLE2SYS (for smartphone / tablet) interface.
