The Futaba ® GY701 is a heading hold AVCS gyro
and head speed governor in one box. Its cutting-edge
MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical System) sensor
design, ultra high-speed processing and advanced
PID control algorithm put it a quantum leap ahead
of all other heading hold gyros in size, weight and
performance. The GY701 has been optimized for
model helicopter competition.
Please read through this guide completely before
fl ying the GY701. You must also read the instruction
manual in its entirety (including all of the precautions
and safety warnings). The goal of this quick start
guide is to get you up and fl ying with the GY701 in
a minimum number of steps. It is also recommended
that you fi nd the optimum settings using the gyro
mode only. Once you have found the optimum
settings and are satisfi ed with the fl ight performance,
please refer to the GY701 instruction manual to
begin governor setup. This quick start guide also
assumes that you are familiar with your transmitter
and programming functions.
The information within this manual will provide a
heading hold 3D setup that is mild overall. If you
feel any changes are necessary, please refer to the
GY701 instruction manual.
If you want to setup Normal Mode only (non
heading hold), then please refer to the GY701
Instruction Manual.
