Futaba FP-G501 piezo electric rate gyro is a high performance, high sensitivity rate gyro, using a piezoelectric ceramic element as the angle sensor, has a fast response speed and high sensitivity.
This manual provides instructions for the Futaba FP-G501 piezoelectric rate gyro, designed to suppress aircraft attitude changes caused by air currents and engine torque. It highlights features such as fast response speed, high sensitivity, and automatic drift cancellation. The device is intended for use with model helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, preferably paired with the FP-S9203 servo for maximum performance.
| Sensor Type | Piezoelectric ceramic element |
|---|---|
| Recommended Servo | FP-S9203 |
| Sensitivity Adjustment Range | 0 to 100% |
| Initialization Delay | 4 to 5 seconds |
The FP-S9203 coreless servo is recommended to extract the ultimate performance of the gyro.
The aircraft should not be moved for four to five seconds to allow the gyro to automatically compensate for drift.
Yes, when the ATV function is used, sensitivity can be adjusted from the transmitter CH5 ATV function.
