Just ordered one. Looking forward to flying/testing it!! It is much smaller than the photo makes it seem. It is about the size of the R7003SB, which is pretty small.

Can this be used with Hitec receivers ?

any chance this works with a Sbus setup?

Sure looks like Sbus should be supported at least on the input side.

Dangit! I would have gotten at least one of these if I hadn't already ordered 2 of the Aura gyros and still waiting for those.

It looks like it works like other Futaba Gyros, you connect your servos to it and then use the S.Bus cable to connect it to your RX. It has an S.Bus port labeled on it. This is the same as the CGY-750 for instance.

Not sure yet.

Looks like it should.

Appears that mode and Ail1 are on dedicated male to male servo cables while the Elev, Rud, Ail2 are on the cable with the one to three extensions (left on the bottom article pic).

Added from google translate of the Japanese manual: Receiver connection for branch cable (white: ELE, red: RUD, black: AIL2)

I have experience with Futaba GYA430 and GYA431 and one thing I don't like about them:
When you switching between gyro off and gyro on the throw is changing quite dramatically.
Almost 2 times with high gain settings.
It make you uncomfortable while switching gyro on/off in flight.
Usually I am switching gyro on during cross wind landing or while performing specific task in the air (like keeping plane in perfect strait line while filming with onboard camera).
If gyro is always on in flight it doesn't cause any problems, but max throw looks like a double rate relative to gyro off case.

I recently got Cortex gyro from Germany and it doesn't have such strange behaviour like Futaba GYA430/431 gyros.

With Cortex on and off the throw is exactly the same!
Very comfortable to switch Cortex on and off during flight w/o feeling different response on control surfaces.

It will be good if the first owners of new Futaba gyro can post experience on throw angle with GYA460 on and off. Please, keep sufficient gain to make sure the gyro is actually working.

With GYA430/431 the throw angle become the same with gyro on and off only when gyro gain is down to zero.

I sent several inquiries to Futaba regarding different topics in the last 6 months and I got answers on all my inquiries except one regarding throw issue with GYA430/431

anyone know if it will work with dual elevator servos using separate channels??

GYA431/430:

I am not sure how this new gyro will compare to the older fixed wing gyros. The heli gyros are awesome, so I am hoping this is a CGY-750 set up for fixed wing use!! I've looked around and cannot find a manual yet, if anyone finds one maybe they will post it!

Looks like SBus is good to go with it. https://www.rc.futaba.co.jp/gyro/airplane/gya460.html

says its for electric planes. doesn't mention gas/nitro planes.
