  • Not sure which radio is right for you? In this video I'll tell you (probably more than you want to know) about the differences between the FlySky FS-i6X and FS-i6S transmitter models, and why I still favor the i6X!

    No matter how good the i6s radio is, the ability to save only 5 models completely disqualifies them as a universal radio target for the already intermediate owner of models and quads. I would even wonder if this is the right radio to start with.

    *EDIT* ADAM YOUR ORIGINAL VIDEO ON THE I6X MADE ME BUY ONE. Then I broke it so my advise is.....Buy two I6x(s) break one. Salvage the three position switch from the brokey and put it in your working unit (Actually save your gimbals and ALL the switches just in case). Get some High Gain 9dbi antennas and a 2000mw booster....GOOD CHEAP BEYOND EYE SIGHT FUN. When your poor like me you do everything you can to avoid buying a Taranis and Crossfire module LOL

  • @johndcoffman
    @johndcoffman 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    For the rx standard; when I set this up for a specific plane (say plane X), will it affect all the other planes stored on the radio? Or, can the radio remember different rx standards for different models stored on the radio. I plan to have some AFHDS receivers, and some AFHDS 2A receivers and I would like to use both types with the same radio without having to change settings each time. I have an FS-i6x on order.

    • @RCwithAdam1
      @RCwithAdam1  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Fair enough! 👌 I agree the i6 can be modded to be just as good as the i6x (maybe better). But many people do not want to be bothered with changing firmware (especially the beginners that this radio is aimed at).

    Hi, I would like to ask what does the model profile do because after setting 2 models profile, I can use both profile for both quads.

    • @RCwithAdam1
      @RCwithAdam1  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi, Gavin! The profiles feature let's you customize the radio settings for the specific receiver that is bound to that profile. For example, you could have a normal airplane setup for profile 1, and then have an elevon mix setup for a flying wing on profile 2. For quads, the radio-specific settings don't usually change because the quad settings (rates, etc.) are setup in betaflight (but you still have to make sure the AUX switches are set correctly to correspond to the betaflight modes settings).

      Interesting to look back at these old videos and compare "the next best thing from..." against how sales and acceptance panned out over the interim. The old FS-i6X (in all its rebrand iterations) still sells by the boatloads. FS-i6S is rarely heard of. No doubt it will be the same for the newer proprietary "Ant" and "AFHDS v3" - there will be a niche market for them but the reliable old i6X will probably remain a mainstay of the "beginner" market for some years yet. 😉
