Micro Star 1000

The cabin is supplied in the kit almost completely finished, with decals already applied; even the 
fixing  holes  are  already  drilled.  Press  the  four  rubber  grommets  into  these  holes,  so  that  the 
cabin can be fitted over the support pillars on the chassis. Cut out the glazing area along the in-
ner moulded-in line; the glazing itself should be cut to final size along the marked line, so that it 
can be fixed to the recessed flange of the cabin using the small 2.2 x 4 mm self-tapping screws. 
 
The carbon fibre frame supplied can be fixed to the right-hand chassis side frame, opposite the 
tail rotor servo, using two M2.5 x 12 countersunk screws, plastic spacer sleeves and self-locking 
nuts; its purpose is to support the speed controller, unless the unit is installed elsewhere. 
 

 

 

Install the receiver in the chassis at a suitable position, bearing in mind the recommendations in 
the radio control system instructions; possible locations are the front lower chassis floor or the 
area at the front below the battery holder. If necessary for your particular receiver, another option 
is to mount it on the small platform above the tail boom holder instead of the gyro system; in this 
case the gyro can be installed on the lower platform in the chassis. 
 
The swashplate linkage takes the form of a symmetrical three-point arrangement with two roll / 
collective  pitch  servos  at  the  sides,  and  one  pitch  axis  /  collective  pitch  servo  at  the  rear. The 
swashplate mixer in the transmitter must therefore be set up or selected accordingly: “3 servos 
(2 roll)”. 
 
For current Graupner radio control systems the servos, gyro system and speed controller should 
be connected as detailed in the following list: 
 
Channel 1:  right swashplate servo 

roll / pitch-axis / collective pitch 

Channel 2:  left swashplate servo 

roll / pitch-axis / collective pitch 

Channel 3:  rear swashplate servo 

pitch-axis / collective pitch 

Channel 4:  gyro system (tail rotor input) 

tail rotor control 

Channel 5:  (free) 

Channel 6:  speed controller / power supply 

motor power and BEC 

Channel 7:  gyro system (gain / mode) 

gyro gain / mode setting 

 
Please note that you may need to reverse individual directions of 

servo

 

rotation

. It may also be 

necessary to reverse the collective pitch 

function

 in the swashplate mixer; this is accomplished 

by setting a value of -61%. 
 
If the receiving system draws energy from the flight battery via the BEC system, the flight pack 
must be connected to the speed controller in order to check the radio control system 
 

When you do this, please take the greatest care to avoid the motor bursting into life unex-
pectedly, as this involves a considerable risk of property damage or injury.
