Futaba GY520 packs dependable tail stabilisation into a compact unit that is well suited to upgrades and routine maintenance on lightweight models.

Yes, its compact dimensions make it a good match for small electric helicopters where space and weight are limited.
Start with conservative gain, test hover, then increase gain gradually while watching for oscillation. Use slow trims and small adjustments to find the sweet spot.
The unit runs on 3.8 to 6.0V DC. Use a stable regulated supply in that range for best results.
Check mounting, connectors and wiring during regular maintenance intervals and after any hard landings to ensure reliable operation.
