Refined tail stability powered by Futaba GY401_S9254

The Futaba GY401_S9254 couples SMM gyro sensing with an S9254 digital coreless servo to deliver dependable yaw control and finer 3D handling. It is aimed at pilots who want a compact, shielded gyro solution that is simple to tune from the radio.

Main features of the GY401

  • AVCS System: Counters rudder trim changes from environmental or flight condition shifts so the tail stays steady during complex manoeuvres.
  • SMM Gyro Sensor: Provides accurate motion detection to reduce the need for repeated trim adjustments.
  • Digital Servo Compatibility: DS mode improves responsiveness when used with Futaba digital servos for a more direct control feel.
  • Remote Gain and Mode Switching: Offers the convenience of adjusting sensitivity and switching modes via the transmitter while at the field.
  • Compact and Lightweight Design: Low profile and light mass make it easy to fit into tight heli layouts without excess weight.
  • Conductive Resin Case: Adds protection against electrostatic and electromagnetic interference around the gyro and servo electronics.

The Futaba GY401_S9254 is a compact, interference-resistant choice for pilots seeking controlled tail behaviour and straightforward transmitter-based adjustments for 3D flying.

Yes. Its compact size and standard mounting layout make installation straightforward on most sport and 3D helicopter frames, provided you follow the recommended mounting orientation.
The conductive resin case helps reduce EMI and static issues, but good wiring practices and separation from high-current cables will further improve signal reliability.
The S9254 is suitable for many Futaba-compatible tail arrangements as long as servo travel, horn geometry, and mounting clearances are matched to the airframe requirements.
