Futaba Corporation Launches Ultra-Compact 6-Axis Gyro "GYA483" for RC Airplanes

Futaba Corporation (Headquarters: Mobara City, Chiba Prefecture), which has been providing high-performance transmitters and aircraft in the radio control (RC) field for many years, launched the ultra-compact 6-axis gyro (*1), GYA483, for RC airplanes in April 2026. While inheriting the high-performance control of the conventional GYA573, it achieves a compact size equivalent to a small 1-axis gyro. This enables installation on various aircraft, realizing high flight stability and operational performance. *1 Gyro: An attitude control and stable operation support device for radio control models. Product Overview: GYA483 | Futaba Corporation Radio Control. 6-axis gyro for RC airplanes (compatible with electric/engine aircraft). Dimensions/Weight: 20.7 x 20.7 x 11.0 mm / 3.7g. Operating Voltage: DC3.8～8.4V (Current Consumption 30mA). Equipped with 3-axis angular velocity & acceleration sensors. Aircraft mounting direction can be selected from 6 directions. Adopts S.BUS (our unique serial communication function) for connection with receiver/servo motor. Function settings can be made by wired connection with compatible transmitters (T32MZ/WC, T26SZ/PRO, T16IZS). List Price: ¥12,650 <041563>. Functions: Also compatible with tailless aircraft and V-tail aircraft. Advanced functions that enhance safety, such as auto-recovery and roll-flat. "Auto-recovery" automatically returns the aircraft to horizontal when it loses its attitude. "Roll-flat" maintains horizontal flight, useful for landing and aerial practice. Also equipped with air brake and camber mixing functions. Enhanced safety and flight assistance functions, allowing both beginners and advanced users to use it with peace of mind. Fully compatible with various airplane specifications, including S.BUS support and dual control surfaces. Supports S.BUS input/output, and flexibly supports aircraft with complex control surface configurations such as dual ailerons, dual elevators, and twin rudders. 4D flight (backward flight) compatible function. The GYA483 provides high flight stability and maneuverability while being compact, even for RC airplanes that have become multi-control surface and larger in recent years. Futaba Corporation will continue to work on improving quality and performance for the RC market. Company Profile: Company Name: Futaba Corporation. Location: Mobara City, Chiba Prefecture.
