Accurate Rudder Control with Futaba GY401 Gyro

Enthusiasts aiming for smoother tail handling will find the Futaba GY401 Gyro with SMM Technology a solid fit. Its compact design and control features help deliver predictable rudder behaviour.

Smart AVCS Correction

The GY401 utilises an Angular Vector Control System to ease rudder corrections by compensating for attitude shifts from wind or rapid manoeuvres. This provides finer control during 3D work or precision flying.

Silicone Micro Machine (SMM) technology helps to reduce mid-flight rudder trim changes, maintaining stable performance. The GY401 pairs with Futaba digital servos to make the most of fast servo response characteristics.

Easy Remote Gain Tuning

With remote gain functionality, pilots can adjust gyro sensitivity directly from their transmitter. The option to toggle between AVCS and normal gyro mode adds setup versatility for different aircraft and flying styles.

Compact Build with Noise Resistance

High-density mounting keeps the unit light and compact while the conductive resin case improves resistance to electrostatic and electromagnetic noise, helping ensure dependable operation.

Specifications

  • Length: 27mm
  • Width: 27mm
  • Height: 20mm
  • Weight: 27g

The Futaba GY401 Gyro is well suited to pilots who prioritise precise tail control and simple in-flight adjustments. Its features support stable and repeatable handling.

Analogue servos may function but will not provide the same high-speed response as Futaba digital servos, so performance may be reduced.
Start with a low gain setting and gradually increase until tail oscillation is eliminated. Fine tune with small increments and test hover before aggressive manoeuvres.
Keep power and signal wiring tidy and separate, use the conductive resin case correctly mounted, and avoid routing antenna or power leads close to the gyro to minimise EMI.
