RC Helicopter Blog Updates

Futaba released recently their flagship heli gyro/governor combo, the GY701. Both technologies are combined within one compact unit. Combining two separate technologies into one unit results in amazing response rates. Designed to be useful for the beginner helicopter pilot and 3D expert, it is also available in either a gyro only or governor only box set. Although, you will end up paying more buying them separately. One of the main features of the new unit, is the advanced, adaptive PID operation (Proportional-Integral-
Derivative
). It also boasts a wide dynamic range, covering +/- 1200 deg/sec.

The governor is capable of operating over 1000 to 3000 rpm, and includes digital or analogue servo selection. A nice feature is the units ability to allow revo compensation by yaw rate. To keep track of what the unit is “thinking” there is a 128×36 resolution OLED screen on the main control unit. This allows for easy programing of the PC updatable firmware, which is also compliant with the new S.Bus connection.
