First in the UK the new Micro BeastX Plus

This arrived this morning first unit in the UK i believe.

Will test it out this weekend

Looks interesting. 6-axis? So it has three accelerometers as well as normal 3 gyros?

[tomcoleman]

Sensor is 6-Axis MEMS (Gyro + Accelerometer)

I presume recover will be a function

Let's us all know how you get on. I'm a big fan of the beastx.

Interested to know what the crack is with this too, I don't remember seeing anything about SL/recovery though?
Wonder if it uses the pinpoint sensors?

hopefully will get it to the field this weekend will report back

Tom,
Any titbits of info from the manual to feed us chickens then???

With regards to the non HD version, i just cant see anything different, 6 axis 3 accelerometers is pointless.

Beast x needed the all singing all dancing rx interface that allows full range, without external receivers and the added nest of wiring!

Even for dsm2/x it seems to still only support one rx. 'with an adapter'.

Clearly there is something 'not yet announced', if there isn't i fear they will slip down the peking order.

The 6 axis thing might not be pointless if the sensor is a pinpoint or is at least more vibration insensitive than the current BX.
I've had no issue with my own BX's on nitro but have flown someone else's N5 while the BX spat it's dummy coz of the vibes and I had to auto it down before it killed itself!
Some people might find the SL possibility of the accelerometers useful too (though not me personally)
A good FBL unit maker that wants to stay ahead of the game needs a good working nitro and leccy gov in their products for proactive rather than reactive mode of operation.

Completely agree with the rest of what you said, "what are they thinking" springs to mind!

let me take some photos of the box and package

Saw one yesterday,owner says it flies really good,like the current one pretty much.
