Small Form, Strong Control

The Futaba GY520 brings sensor and control electronics into a neat, lightweight package suited to model pilots who need accurate tail handling. Its compact format helps save space and weight on the airframe.

Fast PID and Sensor Integration

At its core the GY520 runs a high-speed PID routine to give smooth, prompt corrections. Compatibility with both digital and analogue servos is standard, and the MEMS sensor chip keeps the system stable and easy to set up.

Adjustable Modes for Different Flying Styles

Choose modes to match precision F3C flying or more dynamic 3D work. The gyro supports 280Hz operation in the 1520uS mode and 506Hz in the 760uS mode to suit a range of servo speeds and pilot preferences.

For pilots seeking precise tail behaviour in a compact unit, the Futaba GY520 Gyro is a practical, well-engineered option for upgrades and maintenance.

Yes. The higher response setting is suitable for faster servos, but verify timing and endpoints to avoid overshoot.
Reduce gain if you see oscillation, check for loose linkages or soft mounts, and ensure the gyro is mounted on a rigid platform free from excessive vibration.
Yes. Its compact size makes it straightforward to fit during maintenance, and the single-chip layout reduces the number of wiring runs.
Keep connectors clean, inspect mounts regularly, and avoid exposing the unit to moisture or extreme heat to maintain long-term performance.
