Compact and Tidy: Futaba GY520 Gyro

The Futaba GY520 Gyro packs sensor and control electronics into a small, lightweight housing for hobbyists chasing reliable tail performance. Its compact layout keeps weight down while retaining full control features, making it suitable for upgrades or routine maintenance.

High-Speed PID Control

The GY520 uses a fast PID algorithm tuned for responsive correction and smooth tracking. It works well with both analog and digital servos, and MEMS sensor technology puts the sensing and control on a single chip for consistent results and simple installation.

Flight Modes and Response Rates

Select between flight modes tailored for F3C precision or aggressive 3D flying. The unit runs at 280Hz in the 1520uS setting and up to 506Hz in the 760uS setting, giving clear options for different flying styles.

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 gives a compact, dependable option for hobbyists who want tighter tail control without adding bulk to their model.

Yes. The GY520 is compatible with both analog and digital servos, so you can use it with a variety of tail servo setups.
Choose the F3C-style mode for precision hovering and smooth corrections; select the 3D-oriented mode for quicker response and larger corrections during aggressive maneuvers.
Mount the gyro on a stable platform, minimise flex, and keep signal and power wiring neat to avoid interference. Use proper servo connectors and secure the unit to prevent vibration transfer.
