Futaba GY520_S9257 Helicopter Heading-Hold Gyro with S9257 High-Speed Servo  [GY520_S9257]

Stabilize Your Helicopter Tail with Futaba GY520_S9257

The Futaba GY520 Heading Hold Gyro matched with the S9257 High-Speed Digital Servo gives RC helicopter pilots a dependable solution for improved tail control and consistent heading hold. This pair is built to perform across F3C and 3D flying styles, helping pilots tighten their collective and tail precision.

Control Response and Motion Handling

The compact GY520 packs sensor and control electronics into one unit for minimal weight. It uses a high-speed PID control loop to make fast, accurate corrections in flight. MEMS technology is used to integrate the sensing and processing on a single chip, improving repeatability and reducing drift.

Servo Compatibility and Speed Modes

The GY520 is designed to work with both analog and digital servos, running at 280Hz in 1520uS mode and 506Hz in 760uS mode. That flexibility supports a wide range of tail servos and helps maintain firm tail hold through its AVCS architecture.

Simple Programming Options

Programming the GY520 is straightforward via a single-button interface and multi-color LED feedback, or through a PC using the Futaba CIU-2 USB adapter for detailed setup. These options make tuning accessible for hobbyists and experienced pilots alike.

Pairing the Futaba GY520 with the S9257 servo is a practical upgrade for pilots who want crisper tail response and stable heading hold without adding extra complexity to their setup.
