Stable yaw control with Futaba GY401+S9257

The Futaba GY401+S9257 set provides a straightforward route to smoother helicopter handling. The GY401 AVCS gyro with SMM tech and the S9257 digital servo work in concert to limit unwanted rudder changes and keep the model tracking true.

What the GY401 AVCS gyro delivers

Designed for lightweight installation, the GY401 brings the Angular Vector Control System to small airframes, automatically compensating for trim shifts from wind or load changes. SMM technology further reduces subtle rudder drift so you spend less time trimming and more time flying.

Why the S9257 is suitable for helis

The S9257 digital servo provides quick, precise movement to match the GY401's corrections. Rated at 23oz-in torque and 0.08 sec/60 deg speed across 4.8V to 6.0V, it offers the balance of speed and control needed for tight tail work.

Suited to pilots who need dependable tail stability without complex setups, the Futaba GY401+S9257 supports precise stick feel and consistent tracking in varied conditions.

Yes, the GY401 offers tuning options suitable for aggressive 3D flying. Start with conservative gains and work up while checking tail stability on hover and manoeuvres.
The S9257 is geared for small to medium helicopters. For heavier tails or larger blades you may need higher torque servos, but the S9257 excels in response and precision on compatible models.
Ensure the gyro is rigidly mounted, check linkages for slop, and fine tune gain and SMM settings. Balanced blades and correct tail rotor setup also cut down drift significantly.
