It's ground-breaking Futaba innovation, resulting in a line
of heli gyros like nothing you've ever seen. The new GY series feature several
high-tech advantages over conventional piezo engineering that make R/C heli
flying even more stable and reliable.
Here are the
secrets behind GY Series gyros:
SMM
(Silicon Micro Machine)
Essentially, it's
micro-machining mechanical parts and systems right on a silicon chip
a first in the hobby industry. This results in unprecedented levels
of functionality, reliability and sophistication.
AVCS
(Active Angular Velocity Control System)
This
feature is the equivalent of heading hold, except that it utilizes a
gyro sensor that's more accurate and less susceptible to vibration
than conventional piezo gyros. It continually sends control signals
to the servo , even
when the tail is not moving, for extremely low temperature drift and
more positive control for hovering and flying in
crosswinds.
GY401
Delivers high performance for micro - to 60-size helis
Has remote gain feature and transmitter-controled switching to AVCS
Operation is almost 4 times faster (270Hz) than conventional gyros
Measures 1" x 1" x 0.8" (27 x 27 x 20 mm), and weighs 0.95 oz (27 g)
