Futaba GY470 3D Gyro

Futaba GY470 3D Gyro – Precision Gyroscope for 3D Helicopter Flight

The Futaba GY470 is a high-performance flybarless gyro designed specifically for 3D helicopter models. It processes sensor data at high speed to deliver stable and responsive flight control, enabling precise manoeuvres even in demanding aerobatic scenarios.

• 3D flight capability with rapid correction response for aggressive manoeuvres
• Compact and lightweight design at just 56 g — adds minimal weight to the helicopter tail boom
• Direct installation on the helicopter tail rotor head — no separate receiver required (integrated control output)
• 24-month manufacturer warranty provides long-term reliability for frequent 3D pilots

Das zeichnet das Futaba GY470 aus

Unlike standard 1-axis gyros, the GY470 is purpose-built for 3D flight where the helicopter must hold a stable hover and execute rapid flips and rolls in both directions. Its fast processing cycle ensures that corrections are applied before the rotor system drifts, giving the pilot confidence during complex sequences.

Ideal für...

Experienced 3D helicopter pilots who demand precise tail rotor stability during aggressive aerobatics. The GY470 is suited for intermediate-to-advanced flyers working with medium-to-large scale helicopters where tail rotor authority is critical for sustained inverted flight.

Anwendung von Futaba GY470

Mount the gyro unit directly onto the helicopter tail rotor head assembly. Connect the servo lead from the gyro to the tail rotor servo on the transmitter's auxiliary channel. Power the gyro from the receiver's 5 V BEC output. Perform a basic setup with the transmitter's gyro gain and travel adjust settings before the first flight.
