At GOVERNOR MENU point A there is nothing to adjust. Here you will only get some
visual indication to see if the hardware is working so far and in general if there is a usable
rpm signal.
Watch out! At this menu point the throttle channel is unlocked. This means you
have full control over the throttle output [CH5] with your remote control to control the
speed controller or throttle servo.
Be aware that electric motors rotate at high speeds! Keep a safe distance during
the function test. We highly recommend to remove the motor from the main gear.
However, please observe the manufacturer‘s specifications of the motor. Some motors
may not be operated without load. In this case only let the motor run for a short time
or let the motor stay attached to the main gear and only remove the main and tail rotor
blades (Be careful, increased risk of injury!).
When using an electric model it is necessary to increase the throttle until the motor
starts to rotate and the phase sensor or the speed controller outputs a rpm signal. Once
the motor is running the Status-LED on the MICROBEAST PLUS should light up in
red color. Please note that the control range of throttle is crucial! Usually the throttle
endpoints of the transmitter are fixed by an initial programming of the speed controller.
But also speed controller exist that require adjusting the servo throw of throttle channel
in the transmitter, so that the throttle range is in accordance with the specification of the
speed controller. Here is the possibility to check whether this setting has been performed
correctly. Carefully add some throttle. The motor should start to turn immediately
if you move the stick just a little bit and full speed should be reached when the
