The FP-G132/G152 is a single axis rate gyro designed to stabilize aircrafts. Stabilization is achieved by detecting angular acceleration with the rate gyro. The detected motion information is sent to the control amplifier, which then sends a counteraction signal to the appropriate control surface. The gyro features a voltage regulated gyro motor supply, a switchable direction of correcting mix, an adjustable centering of the stabilized channel, and a sensitive magnetic motion sensor.
The Futaba FP-G152 is a single-axis rate gyro designed to stabilize aircraft by detecting angular acceleration. It is compatible with Futaba J, M, and SG Series digital proportional radio control sets. The unit includes a gyro body, a control amplifier, and a control box, featuring a voltage-regulated motor supply for consistent performance when used with a 6V external battery.
