Radio controlled (R/C) models consist of several electrical components. It is therefore necessary to
protect the model from moisture and other foreign subtances. If the model is exposed to moisture this
may lead to a malfunction which may cause damage to the model or a crash. Never y in the rain or
extremely high humidity.
Do not expose the MICROBEAST-System to extreme variations in temperature. Before powering up
the system, wait some time so that the electronics can acclimatize and any accumulated condensation
is able to evaporate.
MICROBEAST consists of highly sensitive electrical components with limited capability to operate
with excessive vibrations or electrostatic discharges. If you nd such disturbances in your model, the
use of MICROBEAST should be postponed until the problems have been xed.
When operating the helicopter with a MICROBEAST ensure there is a suciently large and stable
receiver power supply. Because of the direct coupling of the rotor blades to the servos, without the use
of a ybar mixer, the servos are exposed to increased actuating forces. In addition, because of the inter-
mediary electronic gyro system, the servos are driven more often than with traditional use.
These factors can make the power consumption increase a lot compared to a ybar helicopter.
Particularly when operating electric helicopters with single-line receivers, make sure that the elec-
tric motor cannot start inadvertently during the setup procedure, if the ESC is connected directly to the
MICROBE AST. We recommend disconnecting the electric motor from the ESC during the setup proce-
dure. Prior the rst usage please slide the motor/pinion away from the main gear, then check that the
motor does not to start inadvertently when the receiver is switched on.
