Futaba
GY Gyros


With 18 sensor nodes mounted on a shock- and vibration-resistant Silicon Micro Machined (SMM) resonator, the GY Gyro chip offers far more sensitivity and accuracy than standard piezo gyros with only a few sensory nodes.

Leaders in the automotive industry are now exploring the potential of Silicon Micro Machining (SMM) to develop car navigation systems, air bags and ABS braking. Futaba innovation has already created the first practical application for radio-control: GY Series Gyros! SMM allows mechanical and electronic components to be mounted onto a machined, high-density chip that’s as small as the point of a pencil! It’s far more sensitive and accurate than standard piezo gyros, and directly responsible for GY gyros’ dramatically superior, exceptionally reliable performance.

  • Avoids the temperature sensitivity of piezo crystals — GY Gyros function well within a wide 14° to 122°F range!

  • Reduces start-up time to a virtually instantaneous
    3 seconds

  • Requires just 80mA of operating current


Only SMM technology

GY Gyros’ incredibly compact, lightweight
Active Angular Velocity Control System (AVCS)

  • Sends control signals to the gyro servo continuously, even when the tail is not moving

  • Trims the rudder against side winds automatically, virtually eliminating the need for rudder trim changes during flight

  • Provides the most positive control for hovering and flying in crosswinds

  • A super narrow pulse drive system greatly improves servo response; high-speed processing boosts gyro response.
  • Newest generation SMM (Silicon Micro Machine) technology and a low-back aeroform case resist vibration better, offering more flexibility when mounting.
  • The GY611’s highly precise angular velocity sensor allows the AVCS to perform even better, minimizing rudder neutral position drift and eliminating the need to trim the rudder during flight.
  • The high-resolution 12-bit A/D accurately converts the sensor output to a digital signal.
