Meaning of Special Markings
Pay special attention to safety where indicated
by the following marks:
nDANGER - Procedures which may lead to
dangerous conditions and cause death/serious
injury if not carried out properly.
nWARNING - Procedures which may lead to a
dangerous condition or cause death or serious
injury to the user if not carried out properly, or
procedures where the probability of superficial
injury or physical damage is high.
nCAUTION - Procedures where the possibility
of serious injury to the user is small, but there is
a danger of injury, or physical damage, if not car-
ried out properly.

PRECAUTIONS

PRECAUTIONS
nWARNING
Failure to follow these safety precautions may
result in severe injury to yourself and others.
s2EADTHROUGHTHE ENTIREMANUALBEFOREOPERAT-
ing this product.
BEFORE EACH FLIGHT:
jAlways check the transmitter and receiver bat-
tery voltage to ensure they have enough remain-
ing capacity to complete the flight.
jAlways exit programming mode before at-
tempting to fly the model.
jOnly use the GY701 with a 2.4GHz system
such as the Futaba FASST system, or a PCM
system. Use with a FM system is strongly dis-
couraged since interference can cause serious
operational problems.
Gyro operating precautions: Gyro
lThe GY701 requires 5-10 seconds to initial-
ize when the power is turned on. Do not move
the helicopter and do not move the tail rotor
stick during this initialization or the gyro may
not initialize properly. Once the initialization
process is complete, the tail rotor servo will
move to the left extent and then to the right
extent. This will occur twice. The indicator
light will change to solid red for AVCS Mode
or solid blue for Normal Mode.
jVerify that the gyro is operating correctly.
jVerify that the gyro compensates in the correct
direction before flight. If the compensation direc-
tion is incorrect the model will pirouette uncontrol-
lably, at a very high rate.

PRECAUTIONS
jVerify that the gyro is operating in the desired
mode.
jVerify that the gyro mounting pads are in good
condition.
jVerify that the gyro wires are not contacting
the frame of the helicopter.
jThe servo type parameter within the GY701
must match the type of servo you are using. In-
correct setting may damage the GY701 or the
servo, possibly resulting in a loss of control during
flight.
jAlways ensure that there is some slack in the
gyro cables to help maximize performance. Al-
ways use the supplied gyro mounting pads to at-
tach the gyro to the helicopter mechanics. Do not
use a strap that encompasses the GY701 sensor.
This may affect the overall performance of the
gyro.
jAlways allow the gyro to adjust to the sur-
rounding environmental temperature before flight.
A large temperature change during use will cause
drift and other operational issues.
lThe GY701 sensor uses a high strength alumi-
num die cast case. Do not allow anything to touch
the gyro case as it may cause a short circuit.
jIf you are switching between Normal Mode
and AVCS Mode in flight, please keep in mind
that you must have the gyro re-learn the center
position after making a trim change within the
transmitter. To memorize the new center position
simply flip the gain switch on the transmitter three
times between Normal Mode and AVCS Mode
(NormalAVCSNormalAVCS) within one
second. The tail rotor servo will center indicating
that the new center position has been memorized.
5

PRECAUTIONS
jWhen operating the gyro in AVCS Mode, all tail
rotor compensation and revolution mixing must be
disabled and any tail rotor offsets for flight modes
must be disabled.
jWhen the GY701 is operated in AVCS mode
the tail rotor servo will not center when the stick
is released. This is normal operation for AVCS
mode. The servo may also move to the extent
while the model is being carried out to the flight
line. Before take off, you must center the tail rotor
servo by moving the tail rotor stick full left, then
full right, back to full left and then allow the stick
to center within one second. You can also visually
center the tail rotor pitch slider by using the tail
rotor stick.
lDo not drop the GY701 sensor onto a hard
surface or subject the GY701 sensor to a strong
shock as this may damage the sensor.
jAlways use the supplied mounting pads or
the Futaba replacement mounting pads available
from your local hobby dealer.
Governor operating precautions:
Governor
jAlways set battery fail safe function at the
GY701. Since the GY701, when used, controls
the throttle, the battery fail safe function that is in
a receiver will not be used.
jThrottle fail safe function (transmitter setting):
Use the fail safe function for the channel that
turns the governor on and off to set the fail safe
position to the point at which the governor is
turned off. With this setting, when the system en-
ters the fail safe state, the governor will be turned
off and the receiver throttle signal (fail safe posi-
tion preset) will be output directly.

PRECAUTIONS
7
jWhen using the condition hold function, trans-
mitter’s function), always set the throttle servo
maximum operating point to less than the point
at which the governor is turned on. Depending on
the conditions, this setting will turn on the gover-
nor and prevent the engine from exceeding the
set speed even when condition hold is set.
jAt the beginning of flight, keep the governor in
the off state by setting the throttle stick to maxi-
mum slow side.
jWhen the model is on the ground, lower the
pitch to the position at which the model does not
try to lift off. Do not take your eyes off the model.
When the governor operates and the rotor speed
increases the lift also increases causing the
model to try lift off , depending on the pitch posi-
tion.
jCheck the sensor output not only when install-
ing the sensor but periodically. Since the magnet
rotates at high speed, it is subjected to a large
centrifugal force. Check the magnet output and
mounting state after about every 10 flights.
jIf the model begins to shake during operation,
immediately turn off the governor. The carburetor
design, etc. may cause the engine to operate un-
stable. If this occurs, lower the maximum speed
setting to the range over which there is no prob-
lem.
