FUTABA GYA460 User manual

Thank you for purchasing a
GYA460 ight control.
This document summarizes
the simple method of using the
GYA460.
For the detailed usage method
and precautions, refer to the
GYA460 6-axis Flight Control
instruction manual.
*For first flight aircraft, before
mounting the GYA460 have

MOUNTING to the AIRPLANE
Firmly stick with the double side
tape supplied. Mount at a level
place near the center of gravity of
the fuselage where there is little
vibration.
*When mounting the to the side of the
airframe or when the label plate is at the
bottom, perform the mounting direction
setting described on pages 17 and 18 of
the instruction manual.
*Depending on the airframe material such
as balsa, etc., the adhesive strength of the
double sided tape may drop. In the case
of mounting on a less adhesive surface,
prepare the surface the best possible be-
fore mounting.

setting of each servo
is unnecessary.
The GYA460 can even
be used with servos
other than S.BUS.
Mount the gyro facing forward
inside the fuselage.
The label of the
GYA460 faces up-
ward in the default
condition.
Make sure the gyro is
mounted level inside the
fuselage.

・This mode is suitable for level ight training of
beginners.
・The fuselage ight attitude angle is limited to
approximately ± 80° .
・When the transmitter sticks (except the throt-
tle) are set to neutral, automatic horizontal
level control returns the airplane to the level
state.
・This mode is suitable for inverted ight and
acrobatics.
・The plane is controlled by gyro sensor only.
・Fuselage attitude angle limit and automatic
horizontal level control are turned o󱐯.

FLIGHT SETTING
① Turn on the power in the GYRO OFF -MODE or GYRO-
MODE.
② Fly the plane in the GYRO OFF-MODE or GYRO-MODE
and adjust the trimmers.
③ Land the plane and turn o󱐯 the gyro power.
④ Turn on the gyro power again in the GYRO OFF-MODE
or GYRO-MODE. This memorizes the trim position at
the gyro.
TRANSMITTER SETTING
GYRO GAIN and DIRECTION
IN CASE of 2 POSITIONAL SWITCH
Assign transmitter CH5 to a 3-position switch, and set
the function to “GEAR” . This setting enables use of the
Beginner MODE, GYRO-OFF MODE, and GYRO-MODE by
switching a switch. When you want to change the direction
of operation of the switch, perform reverse setting at the
transmitter.
When there are no 3-position switch in a transmitter.
In the case of a beginner, the side at which the CH5 end
point (EPA, ATV) switch is pushed forward should be made
0% and the mode should be switched between the GYRO
OFF mode and Beginner mode.

Aileron, elevator, and rudder gyro gain adjustment and
gyro operating direction are set by ight control trimmer.
The center of the scale becomes the gyro low gain
position, and gyro gain adjustment and gyro operating
direction setting
are performed
by turning the
trimmers to the left
or right.
Adjust the gyro gain so that hunting
(deection of the aircraft in small
increments) does not occur in the
control axis direction. The gyro gain
is di󱐯erent depending on the area of
the aircraft rudder (aileron/elevator),
Gain is too high

① Set the aileron, elevator, and rudder gyro gain
trimmers to about 45˚.
② In the state in which the gyros are operative, move the
transmitter sticks and check that each control surface
moves in the proper direction. If a control surface
moves in the opposite direction of stick operation,
Reverse that channel in the transmitter.
③ Without any transmitter input, turn the model on the
aileron, elevator, and rudder rotating the model and
check if each control surface moves in the direction
opposite the rotating direction (direction in which the
plane returns). If the direction of the steering angle
correction rudder is reversed, change the trimmer to
45˚ of the opposite side.
PRE-FLIGHT SETTING
Tilt the airplane to the right
on the ground and check
that the rudder operate to
the left.
Tilt the airplane to the left
on the ground and check
that the ailerons operate
to the right.
Tilt the airplane to the up on
the ground and check that the
elevator operate to the down.

air speed. Initially try changing the gain in 5% steps. If
hunting is excessive, the aircraft may be damaged. Hunting
tends to stop when the airspeed is lowered.
