Packed Performance in a Small Footprint

The Futaba GY520 combines sensing and control electronics into a compact unit that keeps mass low while delivering accurate tail corrections. Its layout is ideal for pilots wanting a neat installation with reliable behaviour.

Control Algorithm and Servo Compatibility

This gyro runs a rapid PID algorithm for quick, measured corrections and is compatible with both analogue and digital servos. MEMS-based sensing helps reduce drift and simplifies setup by integrating detection and processing.

Modes and Frequency Options

Mode selection lets you tune the response for precise F3C work or aggressive 3D flying. Available rates include 280Hz in the 1520uS mode and 506Hz in the 760uS mode to match different systems and servo speeds.

Specifications

  • Size: 0.82 x 0.82 x 0.43" (20.8 x 20.8 x 11mm)
  • Voltage Range: 3.8 - 6.0V DC
  • Control System: Advanced PID control
  • Current Draw: 40mA (without servo)
  • Sensor: MEMS vibrating structure gyro
  • Operating Temperature: 14F - 113F (-10C - +45C)
  • Sensor Rate Range: +/- 800 deg/sec

The Futaba GY520 Gyro is a compact, technically capable option for pilots who want dependable tail control without extra bulk.

Is the GY520 suitable for 3D aerobatics?

Yes. With the appropriate mode and higher response setting the GY520 can handle quick corrections needed for 3D flight.

Can I use it to replace an older gyro?

The unit is suitable as a replacement, but check connector compatibility and mounting space before swapping to ensure a clean install.

What should I watch for during initial setup?

Secure mounting, correct orientation and gradual gain increases during test flights are key. Verify servo endpoints and check for vibration sources.
