This is the first 2.4ghz radio I've brought after a 20 year absence from the hobby,and its brilliant for the price. Its range is excellent and relatively simple to operate and reliable. I used to fly with Sanwa Vanguard 35mhz back in the day.
Some moments were helpful, like the dual rate. But it would not hurt to explain what some terms mean. For example, what does EXP in the dual rates mean? Or which output should be selected and when? For example, there are two connectors on my FS-i6X receiver for connecting to the FC marked PPM and i-Bus. Which combinations should be used for using each of them? Or what is the i-BUS Setup menu for?
Just received my Fly Sky FSi6x and your tutorial video was OUTSTANDING, thanks dude! I love how the manufacturer entirely blows-off even offering a manual, too funny
This was very helpful. My first digital radio and just getting back into it after a 20 yr. layoff. I was not able to access switch A for my dual rates, so I put it on B. I still don't know why A was not available. This is a four channel nitro trainer. How do you set up an idle and kill position on the throttle?
Super great video. I’ve just built my 1st RC plane and I have a question: how should I setup the Ailerons? I have a servo for each wing for right and left and cannot figure out how to manage that. Thx a lot!
Thank you ,i was having problems setting switch to reverse as i am new to rc. i watched other videos none helped, your video you say to save you have to hold cancel button i was just pressing and releasing it,
Thanks for this demo.. just trying to learn how to set up switches to do different functions on the aircraft, for example trying to set up switch C to do the three functions of my ZOHD Nano Talon so that 1 might be stability mode, 2 would be stability off and 3 using the the bigaole stability module would be the return to home if the aircraft got out of range on me. Still trying to figure it out. Will read your channels and switches again to see if i can do it. Thanks again. Happy Flying
Dude you cracked me up when you said if you reverse channel three crazy shits going to happen, I got 30 stitches and 9 staples on my arm when I did just that with a 200srx. Ouch!
Awesome video! Thank you. After seeing your video the first time I decided to give Flysky a try. Been flying Spektrum. The Fs-i6 and x models are fantastic for the price. May try the FS-i8. Incredible technology for around $100.00.
Ahh that explains it..so to dampen the sensitively around the centre of the stick you use positive expo in this case the "up" botton will make the movement less sensitive around the centre and the opposite with down button - minus ..been flying 20 yes but this as always confused me because without flying it you can't tell what is minus and what is positive. .Thanks for that.
This had some very valuable information, thank you!! I'm a 56 year old *flying* N00b... but have been in RC Ground for over 35 years... If anyone can help, it would be appreciated. 👌 I've got the FS-T6... all I can afford. It's just for FliteTest Foamies anyway. Are the functions much different from the i6 and i6X?? This Video got me started, and I really appreciate it!! 😎👍👍 One thing not covered was Channel Mixing... Specifically, until I can stay in the Air for longer than a Minute - I'd like to mix about 3-6 Degrees of Up Elevator with my Aileron input. (Automatic Bank & Yank??) Is that even possible? I flew the real ones in the Air Force back in the 90's... I've been told that could actually hinder my learning. But remember, I'm also very experienced in RC Ground and at least have a firm understanding of Control when the Vehicle is coming towards me. Other than that, I've still got a LOT to learn!! 😋😳 I hope someone can help me with Mixing.... Carmine ✈🚂🚙
I don’t know what I did but I got my mob7, binded it, and everything seemed fine. It was SWA to arm/disarm which is what I wanted, SWC switched from Acro mode to Horizon mode or auto level mode. I switched some stuff around like turned the VRA and B knobs off, which I later turned back on. And I switched the Aux settings a bit but it wouldn’t fly... what I ended up doing was setting everything back to how it was, then I put the aux channel 1 5 to SWA and then the other one (6) to SWC I believe and what I had to do was turn on Fly mode and set it to SWA arm and disarm and now it works again but I don’t know why it wouldn’t work normal when I set everything back...
Fs i6x is mixing channel 3 throttle with channel 4. 30a esc wont stay programmed running an Amazon 2200kv. Wont go full throttle unless I full rudder and full thottle at same time. I've google but can't find this problem. Thanks! You make some great videos!
Gey great video ! Only question is, how I setup a Gyro ? I have everything wired and working but I can’t get my gyro onto one of the switches to turn on and off , thanks !
Hi and thanks for the great video. Is there a specific way of setting up the Reflex V2 gyro. It has no gyro, intermediate, and beginner ona 3 way switch. However on a 2 way switch it has intermediate and beginner. I cant seem to figure out how to set it up. I use my 3 way switch for flaps currently. Thanks very much Bob
Hi, my best compliments about video...so I have a question for you I have necessity to invert the channels in "stick mode". Menu offer "mode 4" but i need to invert the position (CH1 with CH3) and (CH4 with CH2) what I can do it?? can I invert the cable inside or what? I hope to explained well. Thanks for your answer! ;-)
I am using the Flysky for a giant scale airplane with a gas motor. I had to reverse channel 3 to get throttle to move in right direction. Can I still use failsafe? Thanx
Im building a rc mower. If I heard you right you can set two channels to fail safe? I have a servo to close throttle and kill the engine. And a remote relay to cut power to the motor controller.
How to make the alieron and elevator mix ? For example when I turn left and right with the alieron I want the elavtor to move up aswell . instead when I turn to one side the elevator goes down and when I turn to the other side it goes up . how to make the elevator stay up when I turn both sides?
New subscriber here ….I want to be able to use safe mode on my timber stol and also mixing of the flaps and then control on flap rate. That seems like it should all be possible with this transmitter am I correct? Is expo what mixing is? So I would set expo with the flaps and elevator right? So when I’m in sport mode or normal mode I will be able to use the flaps simultaneously with the elevator?
geht es das man zb den linke steuerknüppel doppeld belegt einmal zum beispiel zum fahren kettenantieb und dann wenn man ein schalter umlegt zum arbeiten nutzt brauch man beim bagger zum beispiel linler knüppel zu drehen un arm heben senken und mit dem rechten steuerknüppel schaufel un vorder arm nutzt
Hello Adam, Lou here. I just saw your video. Having a heck of a time setting up this transmitter with a PicaSim flight simulator... are you familiar with it? I do have to say that I did pick up more on your video. I went through the motion mentioned on sim set up but cant get the plane joysticks to function. Any advice to remedy my issue?
Hello and thank you s overy much for your awesome video as it helped me setup a few features in my i6X. One question though if you don't mind? Is there a way in which the gimbals can be calibrated. Because if I setup failsafe on my throttle it only goes to 93% and not 100% like in your video. Thanks
Hi, Adam - I'm trying to set twin motors up, but the display is showing 66% on one side, and 100%on the other - how do I reset to 100 % for both, please?
Hi, I love my FS-i6X I have a problem with flying with Nitro power... MY problem is the main Throttle trim on the front of the transmitter For some reason will not move a SERVO ( try it yourself) I think it has something to do with speed controllers verses a SERVO hooked into channel 3 .... All the other trims will move servos just fine but NOT channel 3 there is no info in the user guide... and I have a different FLYSKY transmitter too (FS-ST8) which the same problem exists... Any ideas for me... Robbie
I got it i got it !!! lololol from your instructions I figured how to assign channel 6 to the switch plug, so I put it in the receiver 6 position, and yes, it worked but was backwards 3-2-1 .. so I wondered if there was a way to reverse a switch and voila !! there is, and I reversed it and now the third position is return home. Merry Christmas and Happy Flying
Hi Adam! Need some help! Got a quad with fly sky FS A8S receiver and the radio FS-i6x. There is an issue when I hit full throttle on my quad.. it says rx loss for abt 1sec and after it gets normal.. but it's not very safe to fly like that.. maybe u got any idea what could it be? Receiver issue, radio or even some kinda vibrations on high throttle? 🤷♂️
I need a lay down in a quiet room for a while. Thanks for a very valuable video, but setting up systems with just those buttons and needing to learn the difference between a quick and long press was a pain lol.
I need help! I have a Flysky I6X transmitter to control my tracked inspection bot. But when I first switch the transmitter on, it beeps and gives me this message: "!!WARNING!! Place all switches in their up position and lower the throttle" Sometimes I just bump my left toggle switch, channel 3, and it stops the warning and gives me full control. But all too often, it doesn't matter how many switches and toggles I move around, it just keeps beeping and will not give me control. What is it doing and how do I get it to stop? I have a simple tank chassis with a light and camera gimble on it. It's not like I need a safety switch to start with. Can you help me?
Have you done any Flysky firmware updates to your i6X? How did you handle the virus infecting Flysky's firmware image? I haven't been willing to sacrifice any of my PC's to try and work it out.
No. I don't think there have been any significant updates to the i6x firmware. But if you are referring to the antivirus warning that shows up when trying to download the flysky firmware, I don't think there is an actual virus. I've ignored that and downloaded it anyway, and as far as I know my computer is in good health. I think the warning is just a precaution because flysky is not a recognized developer (or something like that).
I know this is a 5 yr old video but I'll ask anyway. I'm getting into this hobby and since it is a good budget Tx for beginners, does it have gyro settings? In the manual it says it does, but under the "Helicopter Settings" section. Dunno if that works the same for planes... or I would have to get a different receiver than the one that comes in the box?
Hi! It is srill a good radio, as long as you don't plan you use many different brands of receivers. In that case you should look at a Radiomaster. For the gyro, I haven't used one, but I think there are certain receivers that have that option.
Is there a way to make channel 3 and 4 controlled via the switches normally used for aux channels 5-10? I need to make channel 3 controlled via SWA or VRA
Hi I've had a lot of signal losses recently and I was wondering whether I could set the failsafe to elevator up or if that was a good idea with throttle at 25% Thanks for your help
I think you have to use car/boat transmitter, or you have to set the throttle stick to be at center like car/boat transmitter, use a string to make it at center (like i6s)
This is a great video but for the term beginner. As a beginner/newbee, I want to know not only the what, but the why. I.e. setting up the switches. Also, you speak faster than I can hit the pause button.
I am a mentor for a high school robotics club in Southern California and we are building a drone that will eventually have a robotic grabbing arm attached to it and we are have a weird issue that I was hoping you could help me with. Our transmitter throttle seems to be working properly when we are connected to Clean Flight software, it that the software displays the proper levels if we throttle up or down. The problem is that once we are solely connected to the drone, with no software, the throttle does not seem to be controlling the motors properly. With the throttle joystick in the down position, the motors just keep running. We think it has something to do with how the transmitter processes the output settings, but we cannot figure it out. We have tried everything, but now we are stuck...we cannot figure it out. We are using the Flysky FS-i6X. I know this is a big ask, but is there any chance that you would be willing to zoom call with us one night to see if you could provide your expertise into what we are doing wrong? We have gone through all of the UA-cam vids we could and can find nothing on this issue. We need help. thanks, Jim
Hi, Jim! Yes. Sounds like a cool project. Email me at Adam@RCwithAdam.com (my new email adress) with details about the drone (flight controller, receiver, etc) and we can try to set up a time to help you. 👍
Hi!. I have some planes for beginners and have a "self stabiliced" function with a Switch (beginner/normal). This function is configurable in this controls or it's a feature in the receiver? I'm searching information about this feature before buy.
Thank you for your tutorial. Problem, hoping you can help with please. When I have channel 1-4 as factory sent, channel 5-10 off and unassigned and all switches in down position, remote starts pleasantly, except I cannot use channels 5-10. Once I assign all channels up to channel 10 their each switch or control, and save with cancel button, then when turning remote on it yells that all switches must be in down position. THEY ARE DOWN! If I go back in and turn off channels 5-10, starts perfectly again. I would like to use additional channels and cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. Can you please help?
Thank you for this video. I have the Fs-16X transmitter. I have the fly mode set to switch three which is the only three position switch on my radio. However, I only get : normal and sport why is that?
Hey man, I subbed to your channel. I just got this radio and this tutorial is awesome! There one thing about my radio. When I try to put power to my throttle, the motor won't budge! Do I have to set anything? Thanks.
Hey man I had this transmitter for my eachine wizard but transmitter got destroyed so am I able to just buy an new one that comes with the receiver and wire it up to the drone without binding or will I need a bind key etc. ?
how is the smoothness of stick resolution in comparison with i6 ? I use i6 and the servo moves not smoothly, (compare with devo 7 or other Futaba, Jr... transmitters). Thanks!
I have a new TGY-i6 that only operates 5 channels. Left/Right stick on one side is inop. Can swap stick mode to shift to the opposite side but still can't get lateral servo motion on one channel. Hobby King sent me a new receiver but the problem still exists. Also, throttle is on right side instead of left side. Any thoughts?
I wish folk would atop saying, “it’s very very simple” 😁 makes me feel like I’m a total idiot, because it’s NOT simple. Mine doesn’t do ANYTHING that you’ve said it should. You mentioned something about the receiver being in ‘binding mode’ but, how do you get it into that mode?
I hear you! It's definitely NOT! What model receiver are you using? Usually you will either press a button, or insert a little jumper plug, and then connect the battery.
I have no clue what any of these transmitting signals do but IDGAF, I'll probably never out grow this transmitter. this thing is sooooooo bad ass though! it works perfect! i was even able to solder on a new switch that i broke on it.
Probably been asked before but I want to run this on a traxxas emaxx and was wondering if there's a way to use one of the switches to turn the throttle from driving forward to reverse. Like driving from forward 0 to 100% then flip a switch the drive reverse 0 to 100%.
Hi! I don't think it's possible, but I do need to experiment with rc cars more. What you might do is have the throttle centered so that 50% to 0% is reverse and 50% to 100% is forward (haven't tested that, though).
This is the first 2.4ghz radio I've brought after a 20 year absence from the hobby,and its brilliant for the price. Its range is excellent and relatively simple to operate and reliable. I used to fly with Sanwa Vanguard 35mhz back in the day.
I also haven't flown in 20 plus years either, this is also my first 2.4ghz, I like it! 😂
Thanks again!I'm 54 years old noob and about to fly my first fpv drone!Great video for beginners like me!
Better late than never! Welcome! 👍
Me Too! just bought an i6X and figuring out the massive menu system.. I'm 62 and learning! also bought a 127 mini copter looking forward to it all.
Some moments were helpful, like the dual rate. But it would not hurt to explain what some terms mean. For example, what does EXP in the dual rates mean? Or which output should be selected and when? For example, there are two connectors on my FS-i6X receiver for connecting to the FC marked PPM and i-Bus. Which combinations should be used for using each of them? Or what is the i-BUS Setup menu for?
Just received my Fly Sky FSi6x and your tutorial video was OUTSTANDING, thanks dude! I love how the manufacturer entirely blows-off even offering a manual, too funny
You can download a manual from their site. It still pretty basic though.
You are a very good instructor. Thank You. John Meksa 76 Year old beginner.
just set up my yachts with the dual rate for the rudder. Excellent instructions thank you
Extremely helpful video. Sorted out dual rates & failsafe on my edf jet thanks to this 👌. Great job ... 🇬🇧
I have ordered this transmitter for a beginner rc plane. Thanks for your helpful video.
You're welcome!
This was very helpful. My first digital radio and just getting back into it after a 20 yr. layoff. I was not able to access switch A for my dual rates, so I put it on B. I still don't know why A was not available. This is a four channel nitro trainer. How do you set up an idle and kill position on the throttle?
Just received mine today! My plane will arrive by next week hope all goes well thanks for this! :D
awsome that press and hold cancel was everything i needed THANK YOU!!!!!! awesome instructions some of the functions were also helpful!!
....what I was after....how the hell do you save anything???
Super great video. I’ve just built my 1st RC plane and I have a question: how should I setup the Ailerons? I have a servo for each wing for right and left and cannot figure out how to manage that. Thx a lot!
Thanks for this! Your tip to turn on the switches helped me get the trainer/student buddy box working.
Great video. It would be nice if you explained the “expo” though. I am new at this and have no clue what expo is…
Would you please explain how to set up the fsi6x to use IBus?
Thank you ,i was having problems setting switch to reverse as i am new to rc. i watched other videos none helped, your video you say to save you have to hold cancel button i was just pressing and releasing it,
I'm setting mine up now in my skytrainer , should it be in PPM, or PWM ?
Thanks for this demo.. just trying to learn how to set up switches to do different functions on the aircraft, for example trying to set up switch C to do the three functions of my ZOHD Nano Talon so that 1 might be stability mode, 2 would be stability off and 3 using the the bigaole stability module would be the return to home if the aircraft got out of range on me. Still trying to figure it out. Will read your channels and switches again to see if i can do it. Thanks again. Happy Flying
Well worth looking at l am learning all the time at 64 years old
Thank you
For RC planes , what out put should I use ?
Dude you cracked me up when you said if you reverse channel three crazy shits going to happen,
I got 30 stitches and 9 staples on my arm when I did just that with a 200srx. Ouch!
Awesome video! Thank you. After seeing your video the first time I decided to give Flysky a try. Been flying Spektrum. The Fs-i6 and x models are fantastic for the price. May try the FS-i8. Incredible technology for around $100.00.
You're welcome! Yeah I think so too!
How many extra switch stickers do you get with the remote control
Ahh that explains it..so to dampen the sensitively around the centre of the stick you use positive expo in this case the "up" botton will make the movement less sensitive around the centre and the opposite with down button - minus ..been flying 20 yes but this as always confused me because without flying it you can't tell what is minus and what is positive. .Thanks for that.
Exactly. I will be making a video about expo soon. it was a very confusing concept for me at first.
This had some very valuable information, thank you!!
I'm a 56 year old *flying* N00b... but have been in RC Ground for over 35 years... If anyone can help, it would be appreciated. 👌

One thing not covered was Channel Mixing...
Specifically, until I can stay in the Air for longer than a Minute - I'd like to mix about 3-6 Degrees of Up Elevator with my Aileron input. (Automatic Bank & Yank??)
Is that even possible?
I flew the real ones in the Air Force back in the 90's... I've been told that could actually hinder my learning.
But remember, I'm also very experienced in RC Ground and at least have a firm understanding of Control when the Vehicle is coming towards me. Other than that, I've still got a LOT to learn!! 😋😳

Hello. What about air brakes or spoilerons? How it have to do? Thanks
would it be possible to turn my servo the full 180 degrees using this controller?
Hi, my best compliments about video...so I have a question for you I have necessity to invert the channels in "stick mode".

Thanks from India 🇮🇳
Sad to see you have only 9k subscribers
Glad I could help! 👍😁
best flysky videos online. Thank you.
Do you have video for the setup of external module like crossfire
What does dual rates and expo means? How does it affect the airplane?
I am using the Flysky for a giant scale airplane with a gas motor. I had to reverse channel 3 to get throttle to move in right direction. Can I still use failsafe? Thanx
Im building a rc mower. If I heard you right you can set two channels to fail safe? I have a servo to close throttle and kill the engine. And a remote relay to cut power to the motor controller.
How would you bind it to an Eachine P51d mini mustang? I have the module that you plug in but cant work out the rest lol. Great video.
New to FPV I have a fs-16x I am using Liftoff to learn, I would like to setup the transmitter for my X220 drone what setting should I change.
Is this able to do thrust reverse for 4d plane
How to make the alieron and elevator mix ? For example when I turn left and right with the alieron I want the elavtor to move up aswell . instead when I turn to one side the elevator goes down and when I turn to the other side it goes up . how to make the elevator stay up when I turn both sides?
Does the Does the isx support h1-v2 for fw200 helicopter GPS and acrobatics
is this compatible with receivers that have gyro?
So is there anything to change on the output screen or just leave it as is?
New subscriber here ….I want to be able to use safe mode on my timber stol and also mixing of the flaps and then control on flap rate. That seems like it should all be possible with this transmitter am I correct?
Is expo what mixing is? So I would set expo with the flaps and elevator right? So when I’m in sport mode or normal mode I will be able to use the flaps simultaneously with the elevator?
geht es das man zb den linke steuerknüppel doppeld belegt einmal zum beispiel zum fahren kettenantieb und dann wenn man ein schalter umlegt zum arbeiten nutzt brauch man beim bagger zum beispiel linler knüppel zu drehen un arm heben senken und mit dem rechten steuerknüppel schaufel un vorder arm nutzt

One question though if you don't mind?
Is there a way in which the gimbals can be calibrated. Because if I setup failsafe on my throttle it only goes to 93% and not 100% like in your video.
Thanks
Hi, Adam - I'm trying to set twin motors up, but the display is showing 66% on one side, and 100%on the other - how do I reset to 100 % for both, please?

How do you know what receiver set up. Mine came with a 10 channel receiver so is this ppm and s bus ????
Hi noobie here just bought a i6x do you have a tutorial to setup for hexacopter f550 with apm2.8
I got it i got it !!! lololol from your instructions I figured how to assign channel 6 to the switch plug, so I put it in the receiver 6 position, and yes, it worked but was backwards 3-2-1 .. so I wondered if there was a way to reverse a switch and voila !! there is, and I reversed it and now the third position is return home.

Great! Merry Christmas!!
Is 4 channel flysky i4x compatible with fpv
Hi Adam! Need some help! Got a quad with fly sky FS A8S receiver and the radio FS-i6x. There is an issue when I hit full throttle on my quad.. it says rx loss for abt 1sec and after it gets normal.. but it's not very safe to fly like that.. maybe u got any idea what could it be? Receiver issue, radio or even some kinda vibrations on high throttle? 🤷♂️
Just the right place, you hit the nail on the head for me.
I need a lay down in a quiet room for a while. Thanks for a very valuable video, but setting up systems with just those buttons and needing to learn the difference between a quick and long press was a pain lol.
thank you!!!!im 3 day looking for the save button...... its really wierd tha you have to hold cancel.. i was holding the ok button like craizy.
Great video. One question: I have a FMS Reflex v2 gyro and I want to use this with my Flysky i6x and receiver fs ia10b?
I need help! I have a Flysky I6X transmitter to control my tracked inspection bot. But when I first switch the transmitter on, it beeps and gives me this message: "!!WARNING!! Place all switches in their up position and lower the throttle" Sometimes I just bump my left toggle switch, channel 3, and it stops the warning and gives me full control.

I have a simple tank chassis with a light and camera gimble on it. It's not like I need a safety switch to start with. Can you help me?
What is the farthest range of this transmitter?
Have you done any Flysky firmware updates to your i6X? How did you handle the virus infecting Flysky's firmware image? I haven't been willing to sacrifice any of my PC's to try and work it out.
No. I don't think there have been any significant updates to the i6x firmware. But if you are referring to the antivirus warning that shows up when trying to download the flysky firmware, I don't think there is an actual virus. I've ignored that and downloaded it anyway, and as far as I know my computer is in good health. I think the warning is just a precaution because flysky is not a recognized developer (or something like that).

Hi I've had a lot of signal losses recently and I was wondering whether I could set the failsafe to elevator up or if that was a good idea with throttle at 25%
Thanks for your help
ppm output is off if i turn on the receiver bind everything work?? or just lets it off?
awesome!
Can you help please in regards to setting the no. 3 output to be able to be used for throtal forward and throtal reverse ie for a boat????
I think you have to use car/boat transmitter, or you have to set the throttle stick to be at center like car/boat transmitter, use a string to make it at center (like i6s)
What are the 2 iner switches for the one to left and the 3 position one
Adam, does the radio come with 10 channels or do you have to download software or something?
thanks for the tutorial, I use my fs-i6x for tanks but I wanted to ask if you have a tutorial on how to set up the i-bus on this tx?
Please Sir tell me how to increase the PPM signal from 8 to 10 in the FlySky-i6x transmitter?🙏🙏
failsafe is one of the best functions for newbies incase somebody is helping you trim.
Absolutely! I never fly without a working failsafe.
I noticed I have to turn on the mixes whenever I shut off the remote. Am I doing something wrong that they don’t stay on?
Why in my assignment swich up and down button not working for cheng positions in normal and sport??????
This is a great video but for the term beginner. As a beginner/newbee, I want to know not only the what, but the why. I.e. setting up the switches. Also, you speak faster than I can hit the pause button.
I am a mentor for a high school robotics club in Southern California and we are building a drone that will eventually have a robotic grabbing arm attached to it and we are have a weird issue that I was hoping you could help me with. Our transmitter throttle seems to be working properly when we are connected to Clean Flight software, it that the software displays the proper levels if we throttle up or down. The problem is that once we are solely connected to the drone, with no software, the throttle does not seem to be controlling the motors properly. With the throttle joystick in the down position, the motors just keep running. We think it has something to do with how the transmitter processes the output settings, but we cannot figure it out. We have tried everything, but now we are stuck...we cannot figure it out. We are using the Flysky FS-i6X. I know this is a big ask, but is there any chance that you would be willing to zoom call with us one night to see if you could provide your expertise into what we are doing wrong? We have gone through all of the UA-cam vids we could and can find nothing on this issue. We need help. thanks, Jim
Hi, Jim! Yes. Sounds like a cool project. Email me at Adam@RCwithAdam.com (my new email adress) with details about the drone (flight controller, receiver, etc) and we can try to set up a time to help you. 👍
Hi!. I have some planes for beginners and have a "self stabiliced" function with a Switch (beginner/normal). This function is configurable in this controls or it's a feature in the receiver? I'm searching information about this feature before buy.
My RX receiver led blinking not pairing with TX what is the solution
Thank you for your tutorial. Problem, hoping you can help with please. When I have channel 1-4 as factory sent, channel 5-10 off and unassigned and all switches in down position, remote starts pleasantly, except I cannot use channels 5-10. Once I assign all channels up to channel 10 their each switch or control, and save with cancel button, then when turning remote on it yells that all switches must be in down position. THEY ARE DOWN! If I go back in and turn off channels 5-10, starts perfectly again. I would like to use additional channels and cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. Can you please help?
How can i make channel 5 swA turn on and off a cooling motor with 2 wire red and black.
Thank you for this video. I have the Fs-16X transmitter. I have the fly mode set to switch three which is the only three position switch on my radio. However, I only get : normal and sport why is that?
Hey man, I subbed to your channel. I just got this radio and this tutorial is awesome! There one thing about my radio. When I try to put power to my throttle, the motor won't budge! Do I have to set anything? Thanks.
If it looses range, and if the throttle is cutoff, wont it crash the drone? Is there a way to let the drone returne to base as failsafe option?
Use GPS
I have flysky fli14+ but not binding..when i click bind key on remote then power it says "key stuck".
Hey man I had this transmitter for my eachine wizard but transmitter got destroyed so am I able to just buy an new one that comes with the receiver and wire it up to the drone without binding or will I need a bind key etc. ?
You will need to bind it
@@RCwithAdam1 thanks
how is the smoothness of stick resolution in comparison with i6 ?
I use i6 and the servo moves not smoothly, (compare with devo 7 or other Futaba, Jr... transmitters). Thanks!
Is this transmitter capable for 3D helicopters such as the idle up switch?
could ayone tell me what the maximum control range of this radio
I have a new TGY-i6 that only operates 5 channels. Left/Right stick on one side is inop. Can swap stick mode to shift to the opposite side but still can't get lateral servo motion on one channel. Hobby King sent me a new receiver but the problem still exists. Also, throttle is on right side instead of left side. Any thoughts?
I just got that transmitter today it says mode 2 is left hand throttle if that helps. a bad wire or servo?
Any tips why my throttle sets motors to full speed with just tiny little movement up ?
Hi, can you help me with one doubt ? The FlySky work with any of these receivers ? ( TBS NANO RX / FrSky R-XSR )?
Hi! No, it will not. it will only work with Flysky brand receivers (specifically, AFHDS2A or AFHDS radio protocol).
So the ESC will plug in to channel 3 I take it?
correct
Perfect instructions. Just what I needed. Thanks man :)
I wish folk would atop saying, “it’s very very simple” 😁 makes me feel like I’m a total idiot, because it’s NOT simple. Mine doesn’t do ANYTHING that you’ve said it should. You mentioned something about the receiver being in ‘binding mode’ but, how do you get it into that mode?
I hear you! It's definitely NOT! What model receiver are you using? Usually you will either press a button, or insert a little jumper plug, and then connect the battery.
hello, question for flysky fsi6 transmitter which simulator is best too use .
Hi! Sim for airplanes or quads? My favorite for quadcopters is the DRL simulator. I really don't use an airplane flight sim (but maybe I should!).
I have no clue what any of these transmitting signals do but IDGAF, I'll probably never out grow this transmitter. this thing is sooooooo bad ass though! it works perfect! i was even able to solder on a new switch that i broke on it.
Can this transmitter do End Point adjustments? Thanks for the Video!!
Sure can!
Probably been asked before but I want to run this on a traxxas emaxx and was wondering if there's a way to use one of the switches to turn the throttle from driving forward to reverse. Like driving from forward 0 to 100% then flip a switch the drive reverse 0 to 100%.
Hi! I don't think it's possible, but I do need to experiment with rc cars more. What you might do is have the throttle centered so that 50% to 0% is reverse and 50% to 100% is forward (haven't tested that, though).
