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.
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
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?
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
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.
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!
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.
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 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
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 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?
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.
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,
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!
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...
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!
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.
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 !
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?
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! ;-)
PLEASE HELP 😫 I’ve watched dozens of your videos..watched HOURS of videos for almost a week.. I haven’t found a single one, that shows if you can set the endpoints for channels 7-10.. Everyone shows the aux page, and how you can set 5-10 to any switch/variable knob.. but I haven’t found a single video that shows if you can adjust the endpoints across all channels. I just can’t make myself buy another radio, until I know if I can do this. Please help! (P.s. your channel is incredibly informative, and entertaining, btw! 👏🏼)
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?
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?
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.
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
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)
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, 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
Hi, Den! 4 channels are used for the stick controls (roll, pitch, throttle, yaw), which leaves only 6 additional channels for the aux channels. So in all, there are ten channels.
@@RCwithAdam1 Thanks, Adam . I have a new problem - my aileron servos on a Yak I flew recently were very slow to operate, causing it to crash. I am now prepping a two engined Lancaster, and, having set up, notice that the servos for the ailerons are doing the same thing. How do I get them back to 'normal' operation ( same tramsmitter and a 'copy' setup used) ?.
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.
Great video! I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to reverse a channel by flipping a switch. I have a bot that can drive upside-down if it is flipped over, and was wondering if there was any way to map one of the switches to reverse the directions of the motors. Thanks in advance!
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?
