Futaba T16IZ/T16IZ SUPER GYA553 Ver.3 Setting Manual
Introduction
By installing the latest software on the T16IZ/T16IZ SUPER, you can set the airplane gyro GYA553 on the T16IZ/T16IZ SUPER.
Connection T16IZ/T16IZ SUPER and GYA553
The T16IZ/T16IZ SUPER transmitter is connected to the GYA553 using the Receiver Connection Cable (included with gyro).
CAUTION: Be sure to connect and disconnect the GYA553 and Transmitter connection cable with the power off.
Setting Steps
-
Select "Gyro setting" on the last page of the Airplane Model Menu.
-
Select "Start".
When "GY Settings Transfer" is selected, the gyro setting data saved in the transmitter is written to the gyro. If the gyro is not connected to the transmitter by wire, this screen appears. Tap "Yes" to display the GYA553 data saved in the transmitter.
Select "Start". This will download the gyro data to the transmitter.
-
The home screen is displayed.
When copying data from Gyro A to Gyro B
- Connect the gyro A to the transmitter and press [Start]. (Enter the data of A into transmitter)
- Connect Gyro B to transmitter and press [GY Settings Transfer]. (Put data on A into gyro B)
Note: If you press Start here, the B data will be downloaded to the transmitter and the A data will be lost.
Home Screen
On the home screen, basic information such as gyro operation mode, sensitivity, battery voltage are displayed.
- Gyro operation mode / Gyro gain: Displays "AVCS" or "Normal" operation mode and gyro gain of aileron (roll), elevator (pitch) and rudder (yaw) axis.
- GYA553 Software version: The software version of the connected GYA553 is displayed.
- Battery voltage: Displays the voltage of the receiver battery connected to GYA.
The basic menu provides access to "Config" and "SBus Basic" settings.
Config Menu
The Config menu allows for detailed adjustments to the GYA553 gyro parameters.
Config 1/7: Gyro set mounting direction
Set the mounting direction of GYA. Set mounting direction with reference to the figure below.
Diagrams illustrate airplane orientations (e.g., tilted left, tilted right, nose up) and corresponding required gyro direction settings for aileron, elevator, and rudder axes.
Config 1/7: WING/TAIL
Set the wing type and tail type of GYA553. The wing type/tail type of the transmitter is not used and is normal.
- Turn off the elevon/V-tail mixing on the transmitter side.
- Do not use transmitter sub-trim. Adjust using the gyro neutral offset.
- When using the S.BUS servo, you can also use the neutral offset function of the S.BUS servo setting parameters.
Diagrams show selection options for Wing type (Normal, ELEVON) and Tail type (Normal, V-Tail).
Config 1/7: Servo type
Select the servo type according to the servo to be used.
- Digital servo → DG : 285 Hz
- Analog servo → AN : 70 Hz
Note: The stability of digital-servo mode of a flight increases in order to perform a high-speed control action.
Config 1/7: SB/R2 OUT
Select the SB/R2 port.
- S.BUS(HS)
- S.BUS(STD)
Note: If S3175HV, DLPH-1, etc. do not work with S.BUS(HS), use S.BUS(STD).
Diagrams show the GYA553 unit with its ports (P.BOX, S BUS.2, MONITOR, MODE, DATA) and illustrate connections for two rudder servos.
Config 2/7: Gyro direction
It is the direction setting of the gyro. Be careful as it will crash if the direction is reversed.
For dual aileron, dual elevator, and dual rudder aircraft, check the operating direction of each second aileron/elevator/rudder.
Instructions: Tilt the airplane to the left on the ground and check that the ailerons operate to the right. Turn the airplane to the right on the ground and check that the rudder operates to the left. Raise the airplane with its nose upward and check that the elevator operates downward.
Config 3/7: Neutral offset
Neutral position setting for each servo.
Diagrams show servo linkages and neutral offset adjustment values.
Note: If the SB/R2 port output is set to "S.BUS(HS)" or "S.BUS(STD)", the setting menu will display AIL3 and AIL4 setting items.
Note: * AIL3 and AIL4 settings cannot be set with the button settings on the GYA553 main unit.
This will move the neutral to the desired position.
Config 4/7 & 5/7: Servo limit
This is the limit setting for each servo. The position of the maximum operation is read into the gyro in the first setting.
Tables display servo limit percentages for AIL, ELE, RUD, AIL3 and AIL2, ELE2, RUD2, AIL4.
Diagrams illustrate an Aileron example: "Stick to full right" and "Stick to full left", showing how to adjust the value (%) to reach the maximum operating position.
Note: If the SB/R2 port output is set to "S.BUS(HS)" or "S.BUS(STD)", the setting menu will display AIL3 and AIL4 setting items.
Note: * AIL3 and AIL4 settings cannot be set with the button settings on the GYA553 main unit.
Config 6/7: Holding Power
It is a function to adjust the posture holding force of the aircraft in AVCS mode. Decreasing the value weakens the holding power and makes the operation feeling closer to the normal mode.
The current rate numbers C1 to C5 are displayed by operating the channel of the transmitter. Like the flight condition function of the transmitter, you can set up to 5 different data for the attitude holding force rate of the aircraft in AVCS mode by operating the switch from the transmitter, and switch between them. You can set the holding power rate selector switch to the channel with the AFR function of the transmitter, and set the point for each rate on the AFR point curve to switch. It is also possible to use the flight condition function to work with the flight condition switch.
Diagrams show the C1-C5 switch button, how to display and adjust current rate numbers C1 to C5 by operating the transmitter channel, and channel rate displays when set to SW of DG1 or DG2, or when set to dial or lever.
Config 7/7: Reset
Reset each Config item. It returns to the initial value.
Buttons: Data reset, Reset.
S.BUS Basic Menu
Set the CH for each function according to the transmitter to be used. Any unused functions should be set to INH (Inhibited).
Table shows CH assignments for AIL, ELE, RUD, AIL2 (e.g., CH1 for Gain AIL, CH5 for AIL2).
Note: The channel of each function can be changed. Tap to move to the rate switching CH setting page.
WARNING: Always verify that the S.BUS function assignments match your transmitter's function (in the FUNCTION menu) assignments. If any changes are made within the transmitter function assignments, then it will also be necessary to make the changes within the S.BUS function assignments. To change the channel, GYA553 and T16IZ must be connected.
Holding Power C2 to C5:
Diagrams show how to set Holding Power rates C2 to C5. Tap the CH used for rate switching to select it.
Auto Recovery.SW:
This is the ON-OFF channel for auto recovery.
Reset:
Reset each S.BUS function. It returns to the initial value.
Note: CH setting items for AIL3 and AIL4 are displayed on the final screen of the S.BUS basic setting screen. By setting the operation CH of AIL3 and AIL4, the gyro-controlled signal is output to the corresponding CH of the S.BUS output.
Note: Match the operation CH and CH setting on the function setting screen on the transmitter side.
Note: When the AIL3 and AIL4 CH settings are INH, the gyro control is not performed and the data sent from the transmitter is output as is.
