I got mine from banggood and there was a little metal clasp thing. I had no idea what it was. That is exactly what it is for. The proper metal clasp to add friction to the throttle, supplied with the transmitter.
Yep, there were changes from the feedback from reviews like this. Great to see vendors fixing things that needed attention.. Happy flying!
Needed this video. Huge thanks for making it. Mine didnt come with the spares needed and I couldnt find a quick/easy method where I'm located to 3D print the clasp. So I cut out a strip from one of my spare cleaning cloths, stretched it out and screwed it right over the rocker. Rocked the stick about a hundred times to make sure the cloth doesnt slip off the rocker. It stays in place and now I have a perfectly balanced rocker and the stretched piece of cloth provides a nice little haptic feedback from the ribbed knit.
Just got mine today off amazon. Mine came pre bound to the RX, And also with a friction plate for the left stick after this mod. :) Thank you for all these great helpful videos. I always feel like i can trust your information. Thanks Mate!
Thank you very much for this mod. I’m using the fly sky for my rc yacht (Dragon Force 65). I used a cut down cable tie to create the friction. Works beautifully if you use the ribbed side. Also just glued the rocker down.
I don't know if anyone has mentioned this here... but, in addition to having a friction clip included with this radio now, I noticed that the screw in the throttle spring mount doesn't have to be removed. It is actually a tension adjustment screw. I just grabbed the little mount with some needle nose pliers, pulled it up out of the rail it is in. The other end of the spring just slipped off. That little rocker arm... I found that I could just lift the "bottom" of it out of the cradle it rests on, and with a slow firm pull it slides out. Anyway... all your videos have been such a gold mine of info!! WAY better than the "really experienced" guy at the hobby shop I goto when I need a part now. Thanks for your work!!!
Life saver - wondered why i was finding it so hard to fly. As said they do provide one in the box now. Great video much needed and made my flying 500x easier :)
Legend. Nice design, works beautifully
excellent video and series. I just bought what must be the new version this week and although they didn't remove the spring by default, the package did include a metal gimbal which seems to work like a charm.
nice, this spring makes changing from mode 1 to 2 or back easier than the fs-i6 where you need to switch the sticks compleetly
Thank you thank you.. You have the best videos for this I am so new at this.. Got this done with no issues and instead of a plastic piece to make they give a small metal piece with screws to act as friction.
Thanks so much. This specific model wasn't in the build I was following. Apparently FlySky was listening because they included a metal bridge with 2 bolts.
You are star. Nice and easy mod. I actually used cable tie to put a pressure on throttle and its working perfect. Thanks for your video. I used solder gun with smal round tip to melt holes for screws at the end of the cable tie.
Thanks for the vid. Mine came from amazon and it came with the replacement piece that you had to print. Nov 2019
I ordered this last week, it now comes with a friction plate and screws in the box. You still need to remove the spring I think will let you know once I have done it.👍 great vids wonderful explanations make it easy to follow.
Just want to add that my i6s came with the tensioner piece, might be a recent addition. great video btw. I'm thankful as I bought this model to fly fixed wing
Thanks for the note. They changed it quite soon after the first radios shipped after the feedback. Happy flying!
This radio is really nice after the firmware update. I bought this for a friend who flies Naza V2 with only GPS mode, so the spring on the throttle is a big plus for her.
The spring on the shoulder slider was not good since the DJI H3-3D doesn't support the "relative" rc-imputs like for example the storm32 does. So I removed that spring and wau. I perfect radio for a beginner.
If you have the time. do a removal video on that too. It's a VERY simple mode which will help everyone with a H3-3D.
BR.

please note the later made ones come with a 'kit' in the box, its a piece of bent metal and two screws, this is used on either stick to restrict the return of the stick to neutral, its a simple mod, but doesnt involve having to remove the spring and rocker arm :) less hassle!!!
Nice video.
Firmware update 3.0. Has modes 1 2 3 4.
The latest i6s has a metal strap in the box for a gimbal brake so you can have a non centering gimbal
The redundant spring and rocker part removed will get put in a safe place and if you ever want to reverse the mod, where you put it will be long forgotten. Hot glue to the rescue ... stick the parts inside the case out of the way. A dab of acetone on the glue makes it release instantly..
+David Clark great tip!
Hi.. Great tutorial video but in my case I have the turnigy tgy i6s and the throttle is just like a normal radio but I need to put a spring in it to make it self centre but can't find the spring or rocker peice for sale anywhere do you have any idea..
Futaba sold a spring, which was just a bit of springy metal with a small bump on one end and a screw hole on the other, so maybe you could just use the same part on the new transmitters. Otherwise you only need something to put a but of friction on that toothed area.
I reccommend super glueing a piece of a 2 liter with some painters tape for friction on the two holes
I've just bought the FS i6s from Fly Sky and it comes with a plate to attach to the gimbal when you have removed the spring, although they don't tell you about it.
See other reviews of the radio from other sellers. There has been a few versions of the radio - with and without the sprung throttle. Happy flying! :D
thank you very much
I think they put a spring on both sides because you can easily go into the settings and choose between Mode 1,2,3,4. I don't think I have ever seen someone fly mode 3 or 4 on a quad. However on a couple planes I built I did use mode 4 which would be throttle/rudder on left stick and elevator/aileron on right stick.
I like that setup because you can fly just fine without using a rudder on a plane with bank and yank plus I have more control with my right hand for rolling.
Great! And thanks for the thingiverse model!
I m a newbie and using TX flysky fs-t6...bought mode-1accidently and now as i m learning, feeling to switch to mode-2...so, shall i try swapping all control stick to mode-2?...is it doable?
This radio transmitter is setup for an altitude hold model only.
It's the only reason to put the throttle on spring. IMHO
A piece of a zip tie with the toothed part can do the job. The steps can be an issue by the way.
My Robbe one, in a far, far, far away past (and galaxy), worked quite well in this configuration.
+Alexis Lechevalier zip tie! Nice! Great idea..
^^
I have this radio and it's set up like that because u can switch between modes 1,2,3, and 4. Not for altitude hold
Is it possible connecting r9m to the i6s like the i6x.
The black version looks good.
I bought my from Amazon, and in the box there was an non self centered trotle conversion
I am thinking to buy this transmitter i need some help. I want to have left hand throttle (mode 2) so what exactly do i have to do?And does this transmitter support FS-IA6 RECEIVER
Good evening. I bought a radio of this. To use it in simulator, could we connect it on TV with a cell phone cable as well? Grateful.
+silvioslbandeira bandeira sorry, I don't understand the question..
Taking the springs off one the VRx potentiometers on this transmitter and was looking for a take apart : )
Process documented here - www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?2566271-FlySky-FS-i6S-Transmitter/page50 ;D
Took spring off VRA, a bit of foam for tension. One for gimbal and the other for retractable gear activation. I really like this radio and those spring loaded dials were the only irritant.
I just bought one and it actually has a little metal piece in the box
Indeed, they changed the package after feedback from the initial run. Nice to see manufacturers listening! :D
Hi! What is the problem with the spring throttle? Can I use this radio with whoops without making any hardware modification?
Most of the hobby grade quads use an unsprung throttle..
Hello i build f450 i have naza m lite and flysky fsi6s transmitter , i complete setup naza m lite but i am fail to bind transmitter my quad motor not responding please help me how to solve this problem
what size screws did you use to hold the friction plate?
I can't remember but I just used two that were in the spares bin that were big enough to bite into the plastic..
best cheap radio for Naza V2, need 50% throttle for control, already have t6
I have a big problem because my right stick x axis in the stick adjustment or the monitor is not being noticed that is beeing moved. I tought meybe its the betteries , i bought a fresh pack and still the same problem, did the factory reset, upgraded the firmware and still have the same problem... any ideas ?
I'd contact the vendor for help in case it's a faulty radio. Best of luck!
What is the range of this radio? Thank you for the answers! Best wishes!
+Pavel Teodosiev Same as any other. I'd assume a max safe range of about a km.
Is there any relationship between FlySky and FrSky?
+RCdiy i don't think so. Maybe someone else can shed some light. .
Flysky will work with turnigy protocol.
I think Frsky is similar to Spektrum protocol
looks a lot like the gimbal in the Spektrum dx5e
where to get those springs, one of mine is broken... :(
+Jürgen Hölker no idea, sorry.
Can I use this radio for my f550 hexacopter?
+Pavel Teodosiev it should do. Also depends on the flight controller too. See our series on the common ones on the channel. Best of luck!
so if i don't mod the transmitter i will do altitude hold or do i have to set it up in clean flight? sorry about posting in the wrong video
All the spring does is return the throttle to the 50% position. See our videos on the Naze32 where we cover Altitude hold mode. You need to set it up in Cleanflight and have a FC that includes a barometer..
could u send me a link to that video?
and do i need the spring back to have altitude hold to work?
No. The spring on the throttle is a bad idea IMHO. If you need more help please see the website for details of how to book a chargeable one-to-one support call.. Best of luck.
We cannot use it in multirotors without this modification? Please someone reply!!!
Depends on what flight control software you are using on the model. Most expect that the throttle isn't sprung.. See my builds and other videos..
I want a spare transmitter for the holliday to fly my TBS Discovery. Do you recommend this transmitter? Price is very good.
The Tx is good for the money but is aimed at newer pilots. Not sure why you'd need a spare Tx but this is one we've used with success with a few models here..
Thanks! If I am on holliday with the camper or tent I dont wanna bring my expensive transmitter and Fatshark FPV goggles. Thats why I look for a cheap transmitter to bring with me.
You still need to then bind it with the model, setup everything etc. then change it all back with the other radio.. A lot of hassle potentially. Best of luck!
Dont need to. I wil only fly my TBS quad with this transmitter. I use my Taranis for the other RC models. TBS quad is only for the holliday. Thanks for your advice. I ordered one yesterday. :O)
Hi. Can you use r9m with it like the i6x
No idea. Best of luck
@@Painless360 ok. Thanks
what would it take to make this work as mode 1 Thanks
can the right hand stick be easily set to throttle and ailerons as well as the reving spring mod
+Ken Slee you can choose the setup in the menus. Happy flying!
Update: While Flysky did not take care of the spring, they now provide a friction plate with the controler
This model FS-i6S looks very similar to the FS-i6, except FS-i6 doesn't have this spring you removed from the FS-i6S. The price tag is the same.
+Daniel Ribeiro there are now FS -i6s versions with the spring mod too (finally! ). See our playlist for this radio to preview that video. Happy flying!
Did you try power it with 2S battery?
No, used 4 x AA batteries. Others have used other batteries but we've not tried it here..
+Painless360 Just wondering if it will work or will it give high voltage alarm? If it works with 2S Lipo, it worth the modify battery spot for 2S battery. Planning to buy one if it works with 2S. Else, hating AAs.
Thank you for your time.
Some have used other AA size batteries but we've not done it here - do let me know if you get a good answer!
If you want the non-spring loaded you should have bought I6 and not i6s. IM glad they have made that and will probaly buy it just because of that.
I would contact FlySky and encourage them to do a recall on all of these units. Even though its cheap, I would not be happy to do this repair and Mar up my brand new radio.
+Adam Sparrow the latest ones now come with the spring removed. Glad FlySky are listening. See our fuller review video..
This tx is made for altitude hold model only -.- ... If you want tx that has throttle without spring, look for I6 from Turnigy, Fly Sky,... only rebranded
Hı my friend.im new on making quadcopter and I have a few question about flysky fsia6b telemetry system. I have bought naze32 rev6 10 dof and I want it to connect fsia6b by sbus module. how can I connect this? You know that naze32 rev6 card is different from naze32 rev5 and I couldn't find videos or pictures about connecting this two module. I'll be glad, if you help me. thank you.
+meriç a sorry, we've not set that up. If you get it working let me know..
+Painless360 ok my friend. thank you for your interest. take care.
it looks like it is intended for 3D quads inverted flite
+robsycko odd to add that too a radio aimed at the lower end of the market and newer pilots where the vast majority of models they will use won't have that feature. Glad they have now changed it on the latest models.
true that I just noticed it woiud be good for 3d quad
Hello, do you have a link to the Thingaverse link to that part?
Search on there for Painless360 - you'll find all of the designs.. Best of luck!
Thanks, I ordered this controller and it now comes with the piece already in the box
HI,
shipping price to france are really expansive on most 3DPrint plattforms (like Thingaverse).
Can you please help me to find out this throttle tension bar ?
Furthermore I didn't find anyway to print multiples parts in the cart ...
You want me to print and ship the part to you?
I think it is spring loaded for auto hover.
Bom dia , como faço throttle hold no rádio fly sky i6s
Me desculpe, eu não uso esse rádio aqui agora. Boa sorte.
I think buying a Taranis is still a far away better option...
+ABMNS PRODUCTION agreed. But this is a nice radio for a fraction of the price for those starting out with Multirotors. The Taranis with OpenTx is our favourite but confuses even experienced pilots. Happy flying!
