The Futaba GY760R is a high-performance 3-axis heading hold gyro that integrates a receiver and a head speed governor into a single unit. Designed for RC helicopters, the GY760R provides precision control and streamlined installation, minimizing wiring and simplifying setup.
Key Features
Gyro Section:
- PID Control Loop: Advanced and adaptive PID control, based on the CGY750 V2.0, ensures precise and stable flight control.
- Orientation: Can be installed in various orientations to fit different helicopter configurations.
Rudder (Yaw):
- Servo Compatibility: Suited for both Digital (1520uSec / 760uSec) and Analog (1520uSec) servos.
- Modes: 3D and Sports modes are available for different flight styles.
Aileron (Roll) & Elevator (Pitch):
- Modes: F3C and 3D modes for versatile control.
- Swashplate Support: Compatible with H3-90, H3-120, H3-140, H4-00, and H4-45 swashplate types.
- Servo Compatibility: Supports both Digital (1520uSec) and Analog (1520uSec) servos, with 760uSec digital support planned for the future.
Head Speed Governor:
