Set the servo selection switch to the setting for your tail rotor
servo. See chart below.

Set up your transmitter by following the directions in the
manual. Gyro gain is set up to 50% by AVCS. Please refer to
the graph, AVCS, NORMAL or when unclear. It judges by the
LED on the GY440. AVCS: Red NORMAL: Green
3
Receiver ON → The GY440 requires 3-5 seconds to initialize
when the power is turned on. Do not move the helicopter and
do not move the
rudder
stick during this initialization or the
gyro may not initialize properly. Once the initialization process
has been completed the
rudder
servo will move (a little)
several times indicating that the GY440 is now ready for flight.
If the neutral has shifted, LED will blink orange. In that case, it
reboots.
4
Move the rudder stick to the left and right and make adjustments
with the limit trimmer. Adjust for maximum travel, making sure the
servo horn doesn't hit the linkage.

Operation in A VCS mode
If the rudder stick is operated or the helicopter is moved when the
helicopter was stopped during operation in the A VCS mode, the servo
will not return to the neutral position even if the rudder stick is re-
turned to the neutral position, and when the rudder stick is moved, the
rudder servo controls operation until the tail reaches the maximum
point. This is caused by addition of an integration function as an

gyro constantly monitors movement of the tail and controls the servo
so that movement of the tail is stopped.
A VCS mode servo neutral position check method;
If the rudder stick or the helicopter was moved in the A VCS mode, the servo
will not return to its original neutral position. When the power is turned on,
the servo will return to the neutral position. The servo neutral position can
also be checked by the following method.
Neutral
position
Move the rudder stick 3 times to its full strok e to the left
and check method right at an internal of within 1 second
and immediately return the rudder stick to the neutral
position. The servo mov es to the neutral position about 1
second later.
NORMAL mode sends control signals to the rudder servo only
when the tail of the helicopter moves. When the tail stops mov-
ing, the control signal from the gyro becomes zero. Conversely ,
the A VCS mode continues to send control signals to the servo
even when the tail of the helicopter stops moving. The following
sequentially describes the NORMAL mode and the A VCS mode.

What is S.BUS?
Unlike conventional radio systems, the S.BUS system uses
data communication to transmit control signals from a
receiver to a servo, gyro, or other S.BUS compatible device.
This data includes commands such as “move the channel 3
servo to 15 degrees, move the channel 5 servo to 30 degrees”
to multiple devices. The S.BUS devices execute only those
commands for their own set channel. For this reason, it can
be used by connecting multiple servos to the same signal
line.
* Set the channel at the S.BUS servos by using an SBC-1 channel changer or a CIU-2 USB serial interface.
