FlySky fs t6 Antenna Mod 

A back light sounds like a good mod do you have a link?

The t6 already has a backlight. I believe he is referring to the 9 channel version

Hi Chris glad it helped you I am new to the hobby myself so I am not a expert on all the hardware. Now this mod lets you add different antennas adding greater range and functionality and I bet that a radio with a SMA connector like this costs a lot more than £40. All this mod does is allow for better signal propagation it does not increase power from the RF module or affect the radio in anyway.

That's good to know. Thanks again.

Hi Paul, i just had the same issue, i dropped the transmitter controller and the coaxial cable is now cut in 2, now i am wondering if all the problem i have like losing signal even a few meters away are the cause of the issue. Thanks in Advance Adriano

+Jay Tol Im having the same problems did the modification work?

+FCF TATTS sorry not yet, I'm flying an fpv quad copter and am going to need mega range soon as I get better. but as of now... I'm flying up to 600 Meters away with no probs whatsoever. I'm going to push more distance this weekend. so the fs T6 is doing great so far. I may still do the mod but am getting more inclined to buy the flysky taranis soon. I want the telemetry and voice warnings.

+Jay Tol I'm doing the same bro im trying to get used to the fpv it a little difficult looking at a screen. Any suggestions will de appreciate

+FCF TATTS goggles?

Jay Vantol hi. Had you done the antenna mod and did you gain any range? How much if any? Thanks.

I would like to see that as well

me too

+DenMark Phan Really? It would have been far easier and faster for you to simply type that question into google. Than to ask here. There are countless threads, Plenty Info out there for that very question. Search first, If you can not find the info you need, Then ask. Plug bind cable into bind plug on receiver, Apply power. Red light will be blinking. Press and hold Bind button on transmitter, And turn transmitter ON. Red light will go solid on receiver to indicate successful bind. Unplug power to receiver. Remove bind cable. Done.

+Vx Commodore what is this google thing you speak of? seriously, i did the research and performed the actions you listed above. i have the crappy chinese manual but you know how notorious they are for being incomplete. the light continues to blink. I was trying to see if there was something special i missed or correct sequence specific to these two items. thus the question i posted above. reaching out to the on-line world is just another step in my research process after other dead ends have been reached. trying to determine if i have a defective unit. thanks for your input and time but chill on the holier than thou attitude. cheers!

+DenMark Phan No problem. It's usually a case of people to lazy to research. So make others do the hard work. Sorry, Just assumed you were one. If you followed the above and its still blinking, Then I'd say you either have a defective Receiver, Or Transmitter. Most of the time, Its the receiver. But you will just need to troubleshoot to figure out which one. Just make sure you're bind cable is linking the ground pin to the signal pin on the bind port, Unlikely, But it could be a bad bind pin/plug.

+TheArtIsFart wow, you guys are way smarter then me. i am still trying to find the "any key"

This radio does not have failsafe. I suggest an add-on: www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__20618__Turnigy_Micro_Failsafe_with_Brake_function.html

yes you have a prob. there should be zero connection/continuity between the sheilded ground wire and the core wire. i think this is the cause of some low distances with the T6 reports. i fly large sailplanes with min and high alt and longer distance with stock TX set up. proper ant polarization is crucial.

I have done many advise here un U tube that it's only switches that defective and perform the sed procedure in locating the bad sw. and I did it in the precise orocedure, but still the problem exist?

still beeping and display the same warning, what other cause of these problem? your solution is greatly appreciated, and thank U very much. from Philippine, Ed Navarro

Jaap Martin The beep could possibly be the esc re-setting

Robert Llado Hi Robert sort answer I don't know yet still building my quad. But the stock antenna is only 2.5dbi so it was got to be better.

How much dbi does the new mod antenna have? Thank you ;)

Tobi H. 5db original antenna was 2.5db

Thanks alot! Did the range increase much?

+andrew mcneil when i check my fly sky t6 on the transmitter this two places signal and ground have short this is normal?? i mean this episode 3:15 my flysky t6 have too short rang

I have one of these, and I have experienced drop outs around 100-150m. I'm new to this quad scene and it was quite scary watching my hard work drop out of the air. I managed to get enough reception to soften the landing! Interestingly, the day before I had no issues flying much further and over a lake. It has me nervous now! I can't find anywhere what the "expected" range is for something like this. I have also mounted the rx aerial vertical below the quad. And I have also learned that you should have the tx aerial bent at the 90. So, might try this mod and see how I go! How far are people flying with the standard equipment?

+ibsn87 Are you using the stock receiver? From my long reading about this problem, it seems that a good combo would be another receiver plus this remote. Also, one of my theories is that when you go full throttle, the lipo voltage gets too low for the receiver and it reboots. Are you using 2s or 3s? If you're using 3s, my theory goes down. :)

+Bogdan Boeru Yes, i'm using the stock receiver. (Can you use other receivers with this remote, I just read something that said you cant??) As for voltage, your theroy goes down, MAYBE. (Im using highest C rating 3s nanotech batteries I can get. ranging from 1300-1800-2200mah and it was doing it from a fresh charge) - the only change since the day before was the video transmitter was swapped out from a 200mw TS5823 fpv transmitter to a Skyzone 3d Dual transmitter - more interference???? Shouldn't be considering on is 5.8 and the t6 is a 2.4? I ran the quad on a laptop power supply before I owned batteries, and I could get 40% throttle. before it would drop voltage and reset. I haven't had enough time to figure out if i need to cycle the throttle to re-engage it, i just try to keep it upright and recover! You have me curious, I Might be able to test this "reset" theory with my new goggles, as i should have audio, and I think it beeps when it resets...... So I should hear it - maybe. I'm right this minute looking into failsafe options for the t6 transmitter and cc3d setup, but im not sure if I can have say, x percent throttle so it will decent slowly - instead of dead falling! Need to do lots more reading! Have you got your transmitter yet/ done any testing/ found any info that would suggest expected line of sight range for this setup? Cheers!

Bogdan Boeru im also going to try and walk away with the throttle on and see how far I can get away from the transmitter? I need to restore some confidence in my setup! Ignorance was bliss the day before!!!

+ibsn87 I haven't got mine yet, I'm checking the tracking number 5 times a day, but all I get for a week is that it left China. The wait is killing me, because I can't fly my quad without it. Some people say that the receiver must support failsafe, not the transmitter or the board. I'm using CC3D as well, I'll check more into that. There is a video on yt with a range test, that goes to about 150-160meters. Others have tested it to 800m without a problem. There are two RF chips in these remotes, one with 150mA of transmitting power, one with about 80mA. It depends on the luck you're going to have when getting it. I would do a range test myself, keep a friend on the phone near your quad with the props off, then walk away. If the motors stop, it's clear that there's a connection problem. Regarding the protocol, it seems that this protocol is very common and other receivers should work with it(don't know which yet, I'll check). I for one would really like to know if it's a receiver problem or a transmitter problem. If it's true what others said, that having different receivers(some FrSky ones) solved the dropouts, then it might not be the transmitter to blame. P.S. How much does your drone weigh with all the FPV equipment(and without battery)? Mine is at 455gr w/o battery, but I used 30A ESC's that are really large.

+Kjell Kittelson how do you get to the secret menu?

hold both sticks down and left while you turn it on.

You can just buy another (they generally say what value the pots are on the pots) they are cheap and can be found on Ebay or local electronics stores.

Flysky sent me another gimbal for it for free. I paid for shipping though. And also bought another radio as well. But that exact pot, I just can not find it!!!

Chirag Chaudhari That's generous of Flysky. If you really wanted to, you could rip your old gimbal apart and try to see what value pot it is.

theminingfish I know that its 5K linear (BK5), but the shape and size of the pot is the problem. I did not wanted to modify any of the internals by trying to fit different size/shape pot.

Chirag Chaudhari I just opened an old fs t6 I had and found that the pot is replacable but requires for the whole gimbal to be dismantled and for a tricky soldering job... It could be done but for what it's worth, I would buy another gimbal.

Yes will work fine
