The GY401 is very simple to set up.
Just center the pitch slider on the shaft while the servo is centered in Rate mode.
Set the limits for no binding then fly in HH and adjust gain.

It's that easy, no need to worry about Rate mode hover unless you intend on flying in Rate mode.

Both Sokal's and the Finless video linked by 1BADAIR show this.
The G401B works the same way for those that have it.
This is much more simple than the G110 and even the LTG2100T.

Just let the 401 decide where to put the slider for hover.
It will do so as long as it has equal travel in both directions.

Please note I'm not saying a Rate mode setup for no yaw won't work because I know it will, it's just not necessary in the case of the GY401.
