Two satellites on a Beast X!

[J-S-Q]

Looks like we will soon be able to use two Spektrum satellites on a Beast X with a new adaptor cable but I am a little bit confused by the following statement:

"Also new is an adapter cable to connect two Spektrum Satellite receivers to the MicroBeast for added safety with INDOOR MODELS or SMALL TO MID-SIZED OUTDOOR HELICOPTERS."

That wording suggests that something like a TRex 700 might still require a conventional rx. Why would that be?

perhaps it does not work in the same way the reciever - v-bar uses 2 satelites or they have not tested it with a large heli

One would have thought it will work in just the same way as a V-Bar but I guess we'll see. I don't think that statement was officially written by Beast X so perhaps (hopefully!) it is just poorly worded. Anyway, I have posted on the Beast X forum to try and get some clarification.

Its a shame that the connections arent built into the BeastX itself.

If there is a break on the BeastX adapter, then all signal is lost. A form of redundancy would have been a safer option.

True but I suppose it's not feasible to connect them separately because they only have a fixed number of connectors available on the Beast X unit and all the others are needed for the servos.
