Product Details

This is the GY401 Gyro with SMM Technology from Futaba. This is a High Performance, Compact and Lightweight (AVCS) Angular Vector Control System gyro developed for model helicopters. Because the sensor and control circuit are integrated, it is simple to install.

FEATURES:

  • AVCS System: Since the rudder trim changes (caused by wind and other meteorological changes);
  • The front, rear, and other heli attitudes change and are automatically cancelled;
  • Tail (rudder) operation is easy, making it perfect for 3D flight.
    (also known as Heading Hold Gyro)
  • SMM Gyro Sensor: Use of this newly developed technology virtually eliminates rudder trim changes during flight (see COMMENTS).
  •  Digital Servo Compatible (DS Mode): DS mode makes it compatible with Futaba digital servos.
  • This maximizes the high-speed response performance of the Digital Servo. Remote Gain Function and Mode Switching Function
  • Remote: Gain function allows sensitivity switching from the transmitter and mode switching function allows AVCS/normal gyro mode switching.
  •  Integrated, compact and lightweight design made possible by high density mounting technology. Conductive Resin Case: This case improves EMC (Electrostatic and electromagnetic interference) resistance.

INCLUDES:

  • One GY401 gyro
  • One mini plastic adjustment screwdriver
  • Three mounting pads
  • One instruction sheet

SPECS:

  • GY401 Gyro- Length: 27mm
  • Width: 27mm
  • Height: 20mm
  • Weight: 27g
  • Voltage- use only with a 4.8V battery.
    (if you use it with a higher voltage battery it needs to be regulated to 6V)

COMMENTS:

Can be used in helicopters and airplanes (Due to 0-100% Gain Adjust). The new SMM (Silicon Micro Machine) technology is the integration of mechanical elements, sensors, actuators and electronics all brought together on a common substrate chip. This hobby industry first, results in a gyro sensor with an unprecedented level of functionality, reliability, and sophistication. This will not work with the JR Digital Servos. These have a different pulse.

BEST GYRO IN ITS CLASS~!~~~!!~!!!! very easy to set up, heavy but worth it. works well with digital servos and response is very fast. i have 3 and never had a problem yet. one of them got a nice hard blade smack and broke the casing of the gyro and it still works great going on 7 months now. recomend to anyone.

GY401 is solid like a brick, but not so heavy. I after playing around with some other copycat products, I have to say that there's nothing quite as reliable for the price.

This gyro is very sensible and also light. I think it is best for R/C helicopters. I tried the performance on t-rex 450 se v2 and the avcs tech. is so well.

The best gyro available in this price range. I use this gyro exclusively on several of my helicopters, and it's trouble free performance is hard to beat. Setup is a breeze, and the ability to hold the tail is simply unmatched. With a digital servo, the performance is even greater - just an awesome gyro!
