Mounting to the Chassis
Name and Function of Each Part
S.BUS connectivity minimizes wiring. The GYA430
and GYA431 can be connected by one 3-way hub. The
aileron, elevator, and rudder servos are output from
the gyro. Standards servos can also be used. When an
R6303SB is used the CH switching mode is set to group
7. The normal group 7 CH outputs are CH3, CH11, and
CH12. CH3 is the throttle channel and CH11/CH12 are
spare channels.
The transmitter function settings are shown below. A
total of 9 channels are used with 3-axes gyro control.

● Dedicated airplane setting
Stabilizes ight, even with hard-to-control scale models.
● Compatible with elevator or rudder control
The GYA430 can choose and use an elevators or a rudder.
● Remote gain function
The remote gain function allows the sensitivity of the gyro to be
adjusted from the transmitter and the mode switching function allows
AVCS/NORMAL gyro mode switching. Also the gain can be adjusted by
the trimmer on the GYA430.
● Integrated type, compact size and light weight
High-density mounting technology makes the GYA430 compact (20.5
x 20.5 x 11 mm) and lightweight (3.5 g).
● Easy setup
Basic settings let you be ight-ready in an instant.
● Supporting the S.BUS/S.BUS2 connection
Only one wire connection to the receiver can operate the GYA430.

S.BUS Receiver
This is a three axes
connection example. The
aileron uses a GYA431 and
the receiver is an R6303SB.

The turning direction which xes the
gyro can be any direction up to 360°
relative to the pitch axis.

Mode
The gyro is very sensitive to vibration. Securely mount it with the included double-sided sponge tape at a position where vibration is
minimal and the gyro is perpendicular to the axis to be controlled. Since double-sided tape will not stick to balsa, make a smooth sur-
face by cementing a smooth plastic sheet. to the frame and securely attach the gyro with double-sided tape. Provide a surplus in the
wiring and bundle the wiring with the included magic strap so that it will not interfere with the rod.

Thank you for purchasing the GYA430 airplane gyro. Compact
and lightweight, the GYA430 is designed to control the elevators
(pitch axis) or rudder (yaw axis). Features include simple set-up
and S.BUS/S.BUS2 connectivity.
Before using your new gyro, please read this manual thoroughly
and use the gyro properly and safely. After reading this manual,
store it in a safe place.
