Futaba has been at the forefront of Radio control accessories for 70 years. their line of gyros have met the high standard for modelers. but now they rose the bar with the Gy520 AVCS gyro. This gyro is the most consistent gyro I have ever flown with. it has a sensing rate of 800 degrees/sec. Piro Rate is consistent. Left or right piros it doesn't matter yaw rate is amazing Heading hold is perfect. My Eflite Blade 400's tail felt as if its riding rails. And, to top it all off it is about the size of a quarter and weighs half of the cheaper micro rate gyros. I plan on installing this gyro on all my future helis. This gyro can also work with the new Futaba brushless servos. From Ultra micros to minis to giant scale helis, this the gyro you want to have. J Sittler


• small footprint • brushless sx compatible • ultra-light weight	• programming is a bit confusing • could be a little less expensive (like everything else)
