How to Setup Arming Switch for Airplanes - FS-i6X and FS-i6 Tutorial 

Brilliantly presented - clearly spoken, sequential instructions making a superb advice guide to setting the fs-i6. Thank you very much.

Thank you I searched everywhere and for a long time to find how to adjust the engine cut-off with the swa switch. Thank you from there France, finally I got there the first time ... Great!

I've had my FS-i6 for 5 years. Did not know this. Best tip for this radio since I got it. Thanks!

Finally! FIRST assign a switch, NEXT, set the >OFF< value to 0%, THEN flip your assigned switch to ON BEFORE pressing the CANCEL button to SAVE the new 0% value. Just what I needed to do to create a kill switch on SWD without my % value reverting back to the default value that I was trying to reset. You made it so SIMPLE that even this FS-i6 Newbie got it done for much welcomed propeller safety when I'm tweaking other settings or devices where accidental prop spinning could be disastrous!

I Subscribed Adams great straight and clear to the point thanks, wonder how many fingers you"ve saved

This channel is what i need for tutorial for transmitters i love this channel

Nice thank you for the pro tip, I was trying to figure out a good way to do with this for my daughter's air plane because we are not planning to use a flight controller and this makes perfect sense. Really need that arm/disarm switch for a new young pilot :)

🤩😍😍😍detailed explanation bro💪🏻🤝🏻

Dope. Thanks a lot man. New to the hobby. Just got my flysky today thank you

Hey Adam, what's the factory menu about can you do a video on that?

Only thing from what I can see is that everytime you switch the TX on with the switch in the down position, the TX will go into warning mode, so you will have to switch it to the up position for the TX to work normally.

Great...! Had some guys in the club ask me why I didn't have a "Kill Switch" on my Tx., in case the throttle got bumped. Now I can do it to BOTH Tx.'s, and they will be "proud" of me! (They all have Spectrum Radios, and didn't know anything about my "CHEAP" ones!) Haha! Thanks so much for all your Videos, and helping a newbie learn How to Use what he's already bought... (Can't afford the "High-Priced Spread"!) Haha!

Can you please do a turorial on how your radio is set up? You have this switch SWA set to dual rates in the other video so im confused whats best to do

Excellent thank you 👍🏻👍🏻

thanks man, really useful

Great safety tip!! Many thanks for sharing. Have Fun, Joe

Hi... How it is different comparing setting an arming feature in betaflight

Thanks! Looked this video up right after I cut my hand up testing trying to test my rudder lol

Hi Adam , U am your fan, I have a question that how I can set my FS i6x backlight duration. I couldn't find any settings on my set, if you know please tell me. Regards

If I wanted to use this transmitter for a car, and use the throttle to accelerate and with a swtich when activated, reverse the throttle for reverse, can you do that? Can you show me? Please thanks

Thanks! Just smashed my plane cause I accidently reversed the throttle channel cause the FS-6X buttons layout is wierd, why would ok move the cursor up and down but up and down don't? And hold cancel saves, makes no sense. Anyway, learned my lesson, gonna use this all the time.

Good job mate

Hi bro, Have been testing with flysky fs i6x, ch4 able to rotate one specific servo, on the same channel other servos not working. tried with ch1 & ch2 with other servos not working. But using a servo tester all can be able to rotate.

Great job brother

How do I set up the Switch C for installed gyro? Haven't had maiden flight yet from a scratch build. FS-i6.

Hi sir... I have rc glyder. i change elevator and radar servo..so i know about trimming to the elevator,radar. I have same flysky fsi6. How to use the trim switches and please tell about there directions.

My throttle works in half throttle and work with yaw please give solution

Thanks for this video great information. Do you know if there is a GPS sensor for flysky?

i am unable to find this in FS-i6s, need your help

How to use other Toggle switch to Turn On and Off the Led ?

I want to switch between an arduino and flysky to work. How do I do it?

Help! When i press down, the switch is not showing up into the menu

Mine went full throttle when I flip the switch what did I do wrong

Good video... saying it as FrSky owner xD Adam, are you a full-time filmmaker? Because I always get the notifications from you! :D

Sir how to arm pixhawk with flysky i6x? Please help me.. thanks

Why I cannot change throtle by pressing down button ????

Adam trying to setup my Flysky for Realflight but my left stick is reversed. Vertical is rudder and horizontal is throttle. How can I reverse that?

Can I use the same setup on a quadcopter

Dear Adam, in my fs i6x, switches dont appear in the Assign switches menu. Is there any special way to activate it?

Explane me, please, how can I install combination on Channel 5 SWC+D ?

Hello Adam...! Great video I needed that on my Flysky FS-i6X for my Quad-copter. It's a 500 mm Quad (about 20" arm span) I'm using the Pixhawk PX4 Flight Controller, it came from China so I'm not real sure what it's going to do when I try to fly it..? I live in the Southern New Mexico Mountains and there's not too much around here for parts, mostly Internet Drone suppliers... I'm not sure where you are located but I was wondering if you could do me a huge favor..? I run my Drone on QGroundControl w/Telemetry and I want to monitor all that on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, 10.1" WiFi only. I have searched the Internet for a supplier of a "Mounting Bracket" to Mount the Tab 2 (Tablet)onto my Flysky FS-i6X Transmitter. Usually, the Bracket Mounts to the Center Piece in between the two joy sticks where the Lanyard would be clipped on and there is a nurled type thumb screw that fits exactly in the round hole and threads into the mounting bracket. I've ordered a couple of these mounting brackets off the Internet and neither one of them line up, there impossible to use, so I've got parts. Would there be a Drone supply house near you where get your parts, where you could take one of your Flysky FS-i6x Transmitters w/you and see if you could get something or a mounting bracket for the Tab 2..? The Bracket needs to open to about 7+" tall, length doesn't matter, but it's 10.1" long. If one is available or something I could use, I'd gladly pay you for your troubles and the parts or bracket if you can find one..? Thanks in Advance, James......

idk if the question is stupid, but can we use this controller and mechanism for a drone?

How do I choose which propeller to use for my quadcopter if I have already calculated what the thrust per motor is? thanks

Makasih

🤗Very imformative...Thanks!

Hi adam! How to setup arm switch for flysky i6S ??? Please reply soon. I'm frustrated!!

U didn’t link the other video? Smh

Hello! Sorry, but NO, do not do this! Given that the FS transmitters want all the switches in the "up position" to turn on, this is quite an unsafe method, as the engine will be armed when the transmitter is powered! (I know you are not supposed to turn on the transmitter after the model, but that's exactly why you set these types of safety mechanism: catch fuck ups) It is much safer to have an inactive throttle when the transmitter is turned on, and you to have to voluntarily arm your throttle when ready to fly. -Go to "Assign switches" and at "Idle mode", assign switch A (or whatever other switch you want). -The go to the "throttle curve". "Normal", change all values (L to H) to 0. Flick the A switch down and you get "Idle up" mode displayed. Here, you put 0,25,50,75,100, or whatever response curve you use to fly. There, your arming switch is set properly, and if you forget your transmitter in the armed position when turned off, it will ask you to put it in safe position when turning on next time. And there is also very little risk of triggering the engine accidentally when setting this up as well (but you do not need the model to be powered up to do it anyway). Then you set up your fail safe with a 0 throttle, so if you turn off your transmitter before your model, 0 risk of its engine to turn on (as long as you use fail-safe-able receiver). Stay safe and have fun!

Why is it that when I turn on my switch it it goes 100% throttle and a mix of ailerons and rudder?

But doesn't this defeat the purpose? The transmitter won't turn on until the engine cutoff switch is in the GO position?

I'm not using betaflight product I'm using autopilot

If you want to achieve the same thing with fs-i6s (or any other transmitter that doesn't have a specific arm switch configuration), I Played around with the mixes and managed to create an easy arm-switch surrogate: - Set switchA as channel 10 - Enable mix1 with the following setting: - Master Ch10 - Slave Ch3 - Offset -100% - Neg 100% - Pos 100% - Result is that in the up position (the one that is required to turn on the Tx), Ch3 is forced to -100%, but in the down position (armed) full throttle control is enabled by Ch3. (swap Ch3 for your throttle channel if you are not Mode2). None of this is unique to the fs-i6s, so perhaps this trick is as old as mixes on transmitters... Have fun and be safe.
