FS-IA6 not Binding Problem [Solution in Description] 

Please don't feel bad about not being able to get this right! The process is not at all intuitive, and it's very easy to get the on/off and plug in/unplug details out of sequence. The mysterious pauses between phases are apparently pretty random, too. Nobody says how long to wait before proceeding, and resuming too soon will unbind the bind. Aargh! My Flysky manual is unclear about binding, and trial and error fiddling is hazardous because in the rush to 'just try everything' there's a good chance that you'll reverse a power connection and burn out the receiver. Videos like yours are excellent, because they make it possible for people new to RC to pinpoint where they're going wrong. I'm glad you got your system sorted out, and thanks for uploading. :-)

I had the same problem binding this receiver to my FS-I6 transmitter with the FlySky-i6-Mod-. But I discovered it had nothing to do with the new firmware or using the hidden menu as opposed to the bind button. The receiver actually binds fine if you follow the documented procedure (shown in this video), however after you're done you need to power the receiver correctly via the power pins (labelled B/VCC) instead of CH1. The problem seems to be that powering the receiver via CH1 puts it into bind mode (fast blinking LED) even without the bind jumper connected. It's also worth noting that the FS-IA6B doesn't seem to have this problem. Hope this helps anyone who was getting as frustrated by this as I was. :)

Hi! I got 3 FS-1A6 and I'm trying to bind it to Jumper T-pro. To my surprised 1 of them easily bound but another 2 even I'm using the same procedure it's doesn't want to bind. After reading all the comments off this video I decided to copy their method and try again to bind my fs-1a6 to T-pro and what a relief, finally successful. Thank you.

HEY! in another video comment i found this and it worked: Calling BS2 months ago I was having issues binding and found I could not bind how you did, rather I had to enter the secret menu, Binding must be done through hidden menu with new firmware Hold down both sticks bottom left corner while turning on remote Use bind function.

Change the RX setup between afhs and afhds2a. Worked for me

Works! After binding as you do. Take out the jumper. Then move the connector (engine esc ) to ch 03 in the receiver. Thanks

Oh my God! Thank you so so much for posting this I was beating my head against the wall trying to figure out why I could not get mine to bind! This is so so helpful!

Thanks.. I just brought a Turnigy TGY i4X with receiver but could not Bind it.. So tried solution 2 and it worked.Happy Days

Thank you Baby Soblenk, really worked. May you live long.

Hi again, I bought a back up spare receiver, I was having some Sevier problems binding that one I just tried and successfully bound the second Rx... By pulling off the binding loop after it's initialization message works just fine now ... Good luck and happy landings Ed in Phoenix writes.

Thanks so much MiRoRC. The solution 1 works perfectly.

This works 1. Binding plug on RX 2. Power on RX. 3. Power on TX- In binding mode. 4. TX Off. 5. Power off RX. 6. Rem Binding plug. 7. Power on TX. 8. Power on Rx.

Thank u so much dear.....i was facing the same problem that today suddenly my receiver cant connect to the transmitter so i use the 1st method in the description and removed the binding cable without disconnecting and finally it is connected, thanks frnd.

Mr. Soblenk didn't say how long bind plug must remain in place. For my FS iA6 receiver, I kept the bind plug in and waited for receiver to connect. After 3 minutes still flashing slowly and not bound also no Rx voltage on transmitter. As an experiment, I went ahead and REMOVED BIND PLUG EVEN THOUGH THE RX LEAD WAS STILL FLASHING When I did this, the Rx LED went solid red and the Rx voltage showed up on the transmitter. Then I removed power and set up with ESC on Ch 3 and rudder (no ailerons) on 1 and elevator on 2. Both servos worked. I wasn't sure if I had to connect a motor to the ESC to get voltage on the 3pin plug going to ch3, but I did.

Thank you so much, I was having this problem exactly, I worked with Solution 1.

Great, thanks! Solution 1 worked fine for me

For those of you that have bought a Turnigy 9x and a IA6 receiver and can't get them to bind here is the answer. Believe it or not you have to REVERSE the throttle. Plug the bind plug into the vcc port plug battery into it with an esc "fast flash" hold down bind button while turning on tx rx will flash slow unplug bind plug from rx first then battery turn tx off and back on then plug battery back into rx LED should be solid now.

You really need to check the contacts, these jumpercables are known to break easy. I just did it with a wire and binded right away. Paperclip or just a peace of metalwire you could easely bend, watchout for other contacts, don't short circuit it. Hope it helps peeps in the future.

El problema en la configuracion del FS-iA6 esta en que se debe ir al menu del Tx y seleccionar RX Setup y seleccionar AFHDS 2A. Una vez hecha esta opcion se procede como en todos los RX con Bin Key.

El mismo problema lo he resuelto con la solución 2, en el menú oculto. No es necesario nuevo firmware. Solamente ir al menú oculto y a la opción binding. Muchas gracias Miro RC.

Step 1 - Press Binding button + Power On in transmiter step 2 - Plug bind cable on ch Bind/vcc and connect power On Reciever step 3 - Wait the reciever connect to transmiter... step 4 - dont un plug power on reciever...but un plug first bind cable on reciever step 5 - done....

I had the same issue and it seems my power supply was low. It wasn't supplying enough current once I provided a valid 5V power with enough current; all was good

its bulky because its not really made to be used as pwm... it has the option, but its really a ppm/sbus/ibus receiver that is made for small aircraft like miniquads and flight controller driven aircraft

Thank you! Solution #1 worked like a charm!

thank you thank you thank you i had the same problem but i could not find solution for this , i am too sad about is thing i saw your video i very very very happy .

Hi in the instructions it tell you to after binding to remove power and bind cable then connect the power cable to the b/vcc port

Hi, once I got my batteries charged. Turn the tx on first pushing bind button @ same time. Then put your bind plug on hook power to Rx as soon as it says binding pull the bind plug and it will bind strait away ... Ed in Phoenix writes

thank you for solving this issue....

Hello, I am trying to bind an R130 to a Flysky FS-i6. I turn on the receiver in binding mode, then I power on the drone holding the bind button. Then I turn them both off and on again but there appears to be no connection. When I try to arm it nothing happens. Am I missing something? Please help! Thanks

Can I bind FS-T6 trans, to my FS-iA6B reciever?

The receiver is what goes into your RC plane right? So that it picks up what you’re inputting on your transmitter and inputs it to the plane

thx for the solution. I had the same problem

it may cause by the unstable or unsuitable vottage

May be the reciever is stuffed or the reciever is too close to the tx ?

I brought new receiver I bind it and the led in the receiver is not flashing anymore its means that it bind, but I don't have any signal in my quadcopter, need some help?

my okay button doesnt do anything when i selectt quad name as eachine 2

I HAVE A PROBLEM! my elevator stick behaves like the throttle stick were when the stick is at the bottom it is in the stopping position and when it is in the center it is going 50 percent and when at the top position 100 percent speed. somebody help me please. I have flysky fs t6

Mine also no working.the receiver neither blinking not on.

reset your reciver to factory reset it worked for me

полдня промучилсЯ!!!!!!!!!!!!! Спасибо!!

Hello, how do you made the converter for FS i6s receiver ? Male to male connection

How to bind that first chip same happen with my chip

that cable for binding is a normal one and it is linking the first and the 3rd pin on the reiceiver?

bro this an nice video but I have an doubt shouldI buy the a new receiver or should I buy the bind thing

Hi Miro we have the same problem . I always repeat but its the same.

Thank you 👌

hello bro can i bind flysky ct6b transmitter with fs ia6 receiver please reply me /////// please /////

Hi try this go to RX Setup and turn the AFHDS -2A to off and see if that works

Thank youuuuuuu !!!

Change the output to pwm rather than ppm

shouldI but this Flysky X6B 2.4G 6CH i-BUS PPM PWM Receiver for AFHDS i10 i6s i6 i6x i4x Transmitter to solvethe problem

Remove the loop without disconnecting

I have same problem , what will be best solution for this problem

what batteries and esc's are you using

me está pasando lo mismo que debo hacer ayuda pliss

А iA6 что не подключаешь?

Whatever you do stay the heck away from Tiger's RC channel or your Receiver will smoke......

I have same problem

Same problem here..

U just need to take the bind plug out b4 disconnecting the power

Same problem here

But it in ch3

Come on man this not how you bind this receiver after you get bind ok on the transmitter just remove the bind cable from vcc then the led will stop blinking you always remove the pwm cable from the esc this will not work with you

Please explain suggestion #1...

Ye ten chainal transmitar hai

...and every FS owner is screaming -'NOT 'jumper cable' - BIND LEAD! Socket no 3 is more usual to use, as its the throttle on an AETR setup, and finally, the real reason your are cocking it up is because there is a seqeunce to removing the bind lead - Just think 'first and last' bind in, power on - power off , bind out. Also, you were lucky the ADFS setting was on the correct one, so you didn't have to change the programming. Best to remove the vid, as its a waste of time.
