'Me to but 8 years later , ,,,,,,Im happy to have found your video! I just ordered the newest FSi6 today. thanks Andrew .
I'm happy to have found your video! I just ordered a FSi6 today. It should be here next week so I want to already know how to configure everything. You did a great job my friend, thanks very much.
Glad to hear it Bill. It's a very nice radio
Good review of a great affordable radio! I bought a FS-i6 five years ago. I wasn't sure if I would stay with the RC hobby so I bought this cheap FlySky. Five years and dozens of airplanes later I'm still using the original FlySky FS-i6. I loaded the 10 channel firmware. The model memory is almost maxed out. I have found no compelling reason to "upgrade". It does everything I need a radio to do and more.
That's right. It's a seriously capable cheap radio
I just received this radio today and am stunned by how much has changed since the 90's. So many features are at the touch of my fingers on an LED screen no less. Thank you for the tour of it and the confidence to use it!
Hi Rick. The FS-i6 is great for the money, but there has been another quantum leap in features and programmability since it was released. EdgeTX and ELRS with 16ch radios
Got one of these today and will try it out tomorrow. Thanks for showing us around its features. My last encounter with RC Radios was in the 90s and since then, very much has changed - especially pricewise. This set can't be beat. I was wondering how people run non-brand receivers with their radios. No such thing in the 90s. Thanks to you, I know now.
Thank you very much for the review and how to lesson. You're a lifesaver! Keep on flying!
Hi Andrew! You recommended me this radio some weeks ago, and I'm very happy with it! Looking forward four your next videos on it. Congratulations for your TH-cam channel and your Newton Airlines blog, they are awesome. Greetings from Spain :-)
Excellent Jose, thanks for the feedback
Thanks for your time Andrew.
I watched this and decided to get it as my first radio. I am very happy with it. Thanks for recommending! There is also a newer version of this called fs-i6x. It is 10 channels without any mods and also has some other small software improvements. It costs 5 dollars more, which is about the price of a firmware cable that used to hack the transmitter to be 10 channels. They also made hardware changes but I don't know what difference it makes. I would recommend getting fs-i6x over fs-i6. And also try to get one with a ia6b receiver instead of ia6 receiver. Slight price difference but a lot more range.
Excellent information thanks
the best tutorial, simple and direct to the point.
good value for money, and when you do the 10 channel mod you get other helpful functions, battery voltage alarm etc. also turnigy have released the turnigy i6c which is for ppm and ibus with an easy battery voltage telemetry... flysky have also have coming soon the a8s micro receiver.
Thanks for the video
Got into surface rc and been looking into getting a plan found some cheap kits but had no idea what radio to get did not want to spend an arm and a leg but don’t want a peace of junk either.
You have helped me save some money and start my Rc plan Journey!
Thank you very much
Excellent, this radio will work well.
Your video is amazing thanks for all your efforts
Awesome video! I was wanting to begin building Flite Test aircraft and was looking for a good beginner/intermediate controller, and I had actually narrowed it down to the i6!!!
Highly recommended from me
Very nice Radio !
I recommend it to everyone who want to start in this hobby !
It will give you a lot of features ! And super handy !
Good radio ..I have flysky fst6 and its working great and easy to use. flysky i6 has more options as I saw in the video like RSSI rate I don't have it in the fst6
excited to get one of these for a tugboat project. I saw pictures of them and thought they looked really cheap, but they seem pretty great. Some really nice features.
Yes, great value for a solid radio
Great little intro video. I fly my first plane this weekend. Very excited and glad I found out about the expo!
Expo is magic, good luck, Exciting times ahead, crashes will happen.
Great expository explanation- thank you ! ! !
You are welcome!
Thank you, super helpful video!
Genuine thanks for the introduction, Andrew.
Glad you like it George
Absolutely, Andrew.
Also hope you can be a "go-to" guy for future questions and advice for another potential "fledgling"...
Thanks again.
great video thanks..a lot of us beginner/intermediates getting bit overwhelmed by most youtube videos set around taranis which which we dont want to spend money on to learn on..or our share of family budget never gonna stretch to..i started and still use spektrum DXi6 got the flysky for my kids to use and the flysly got many more features..
That's great to hear.
Nice Video Andy!
Love the cat at the end.
Great intro and demonstration with tips and tricks on how to use it, this radio might make a great gift...
Yes it's cheap enough and capable enough for anyones
Thanks. Great radio. you can also enter the Factory mode by holding both sticks left and down then turning on the radio. this gives you access to other a lot of other settings. I have had two of these and I would suggest getting the fs-ia6b receiver as it seems to have a far better range.
Thanks for the reminder about the hidden menu
I agree. The 6B also allows you to use the iBus protocol for quicker communications.
I've never had a range issue with the 6B.
This is the only radio I have for all my quads and one (slightly crashed) wing.
I'm quite pleased with it.
Doing the 10 channel upgrade isn't too difficult. Many channels have tutorials how to do it.
Trouttaranaki i
doen that, :)
Very Helpful! Thank you!
Perhaps he mentioned this, but I started typing before watching the whole vid. The ia6 receivers are cheaper than others on the market, so it's cheaper to outfit multiple planes. The receiver antennas have a fairly weak connection, though. Reinforce it with some hot glue or you will lose them after a few crashes. They will continue to work with a decent range even without the antennas, however. I agree with his assessment wholeheartedly. You won't get a better value with any other unit. And there is an upgrade option that wont render this one useless as well, the i-10. A 10 channel, touch screen version that will buddy box and use the receivers that this one does. The Turnigy version is compatible also.
Excellent info, thanks
Rookie Flite w
Thanks for the reply - I will do that!
Great video, very informative! Subscribed!
Welcome!
@@AndrewNewton I've just ordered my transmitter! Yep, the X, 10 channels! Looking forward to flying my Blackhawk Helicopter! And then some! :)
I like the I6 but even the I6x is a great value, with added channels, so may have a longer term use for me as I get into more advanced models
thank you for a good rundown of the menus!
Yes so cheap and so capable
nice review, I subscribed to your channel. keep up the easy to understand reviews
I'm a newbie to the rc hobby. thanks man! Happy new year!
No problems John, have a great year, many happy landings
Excellent info and video as always. Wishing you all the best with the house move and in your new slope soaring location! Looking forward to more Excellent vids when you get settled
Thanks so much!
I just got interested in RC Models and got this radio. Since I have absolutely no experience flying models, I used the trainer port on the back to connect it to the PC and fly a free simulator called PicaSim, at least until I build my first trainer. I used the SmartPropoPlus software to convert the PPM signal coming from the trainer port to a virtual joystick. The PPM signal is fed to the PC's microphone jack. It works great, I highly recommend it for beginners like me.
Nice one Dren. Good way to learn
Thank you Andrew! I have learned a lot from you as well. Thank you for keeping this channel up, it's one of the best in TH-cam.
lasurpadotafinat
@ 2:51 you can hear his neighbour doing a fly over with his' Mines bigger than yours model, lol, Subbed for the no nonsense video content .
Thanks Peter
Thanks for the video, I have been looking at these for a bit now. Your video makes me feel a bit better spending the money on one as I am usually a buy one cry once kind of guy, so you saved me a ton of cash. Especially if I turn out to be a lawn dart pilot!
No problem! We all start as lawn darters
I was never a "Lawn Darter", I have always been a world famous "Re-Kitter" with 99% of my planes over decades of gravity vs brain.
thank you Andrew, a friend of mine is looking for a beginner radio, ill show him this review
Very good. it's a great choice.
WATCHED 31 SECONDS OF YOUR VIDEO AND I HIT ORDER ON AMAZON!! THANKS LOL
Good value. Have fun
cute cat at the ending c:
Hi Andrew I have just received one of these its a lot easier to use than the jumper t8sg that I have been using for months. Thanks for the info
Yes that Devo firmware is weird
THANK YOU, GREAT VIDEO...
I'm going buy one of these for crawler
One of the best planes that I've liked that we had for beginners was the GWS e-starter I was never hesitant about putting it up in 15 20 mile an hour winds.
Of course gws doesn't make it anymore.
Great video thanks!
I agree with Bill Anderson great job
Thanks Brian
Thanks for this video ! :-)
Amazing tutorial thanks.
You're welcome!
Thanks, I'm convened this is my needed Tetrameter.
Just received my FlySky i6 10 from Amazon looking forward to setting it up.
@@earlallen6628 got mine of amazon, cheak to see if it is 10 memory or 20 memory, ie, different planes, mines 20, only got 4 planes so far :)
I'm also a big fan of this radio. It's my first and I really don't see a need to upgrade, and I have more then ten models in it already:) A GREAT feature is RSSI error rate, and it is really handy in finding lost models! saved my wing and quadcopter with this already, later would be impossible to find other way! You need to make a video about it, it could save someone a lot of money!:) The only downside I found to the moment is programming flaperons, you can do this but you cannot use expo for ailerons if you make flaperons, and rates are programmed only through end points. Other then that its perfect!
Thanks for that, I am yet to tackle mixes and programming on a real model. That will be in my next video.
It would be great if you good do a review on one. And thanks for all the other great reviews.
Hope so
thank you for this instructional video. The manual does not come with detailed instructions.
Not a beginner but moved countries... i had a 9x with open tx flashed in it. As I couldnt find it... Bought the fsi6... Loved it. Flew dlgs... Gas...glow... Electrics... Slope... Helis... Everything... On it. In the end of the day I bought a RadioMaster due to 3way switches and such... As well as the opentx and multiprotocol. I have been building a looooot of micro planes and ultralight gliders... And the multiprotocol saved the day with the ultra small orange receivers. Anyways. Back to the fsi6... Cheap... Works great. Never had a problem with it.
Good to hear, it's way better than the price would suggest
@@AndrewNewton so true. But after a few months Im not so sure if I'd go for it or a Frsky qx7. Which one would u choose for the budget?
GREAT VIDEO
Based on your review, I sent away for this kit! Looking forward to getting into RC. Thank you for the excellent review. New subscriber here.!.
Welcome Mark, and it's a very capable radio with range as good as the best.
@@AndrewNewton Thanks. Really like your channel. Very informative - the best !
Bought this radio a year ago, works well. But now Im busy getting re aquainted with it again. Trying too bind it with a 3 channel receiver. for my diy rc car.
getting back into rc i have bought the fs i6 as it looks a great little radio and lots of u2b vids yours i am starting with so i can use it for the dynam 1200mm spitfire,starmax f14,t rex clone 450,blade 450 and walkera v450 d03 now its de walkerad and apm2.8 ... 450 quad yet to build n tri copter yet to build etc etc etc.... should keep me busy whilst getting well after illness!! great simple n easy to follow mate..thankyou.......
You will be teaching me how to use it soon. Great featured radio for the price.
Bruv i went on a mission to fly after being gifted a ufo up n down 2 channel 5 years ago n got hooked ending up with a Lianxian A10 twin 70mm edf 1500mm variant..Fully kitted with Fatshark attitude v3 with head tracker and cams on fuselage and missile pods,those little security cams glued into the fuel pods etc etc etc..Apm 2.6 with full OSD overlay etc etc etc..yawn yawn..but i have all the video footage on/in a cabinet thats virused but if you look up"EUROFIGHTER FPV MAIDEN FLIGHT" ON TH-cam ,you might get an idea of all i was once before events leading to my demise happened.. I only have a master cp n cloned 450 etc with a spitfire n F14 remaining but determined to make what i miss soooooooooooooooooooo much my life again... lets stay in touch but if you look up "honeybee v2 rc helicopter with control stick movements .. then you will see where i began n was hooked..sleepless nights and fighter pilot xstuff was is is is my thing!!!!!!!! the other 5 or 6 remaining vidsw may still be posted..women eh ;((((
I have downloaded the freefpv thing $4.99 and half way thier but cant seem to get the right stick to function at all?? is thier a heli swash mix i should be using i e 90 120 140 or just variable/fixed pitch?? im so far behind in all this ..any help truely appreciated,i joke you not,as it seemsthe days of esky hb n clearview are ancient history n i cant find any settings to start tx to ..... any help please????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ill send you alunch on me .Russell!!
No idea sorry Russell, I haven't hooked up the i6, only the Taranis
Totally ready for out of pocket payments for mine per program maintenance
Thanks____]
a very good radio indeed!! i have it and i love it!!
Good range?
@@Providence365 in an open enviroment i reached about 1km (my vtx was the limiting factor)
I love this
You made a very good demonstration.thnx.hoped you had more time on video to show some more functions
th-cam.com/users/andyandvirgsearch?query=i6
The FS-i6 is fine for cheap entry level foamies, once you get your feet wet into rc flying, and bigger heavier planes, jump into Futaba transmitter FHSS and S-FHSS, a Futaba10J will be more than enough once you gain your wings and have some flying seniority.
If buying used transmitter, a JR X9303 is the way to go, easy to program solid radio, Lemon and Orange Rx receiver compatible.
Or go with what most pilots use in your club, this way you get help when trying to configure the system. I bought a Futaba as thats what most have in our field, easy enough.
Thanks for your suggestions. I don't know anything about Futaba radios
Awesome overview 😎👌
Thanks! 👍
thank you Andrew 😊
No problem John
11:06 I like the video just marking what the channels are when I get it in about a month.
great vid
This stuff very worth.
Excellente vidéo, merci pour ces explications très utiles. Je viens recevoir le modèle FS-I6x.
Very good, i6X is even better
Hi Andrew, i recently discovered a strange thing happening with my I6x when used with the FS-IA6 receiver. After upgrading firmware, my two models with FS-IA6's were no longer bound and then no longer sent telemetry, despite successful re binding. The X6B receivers all worked fine with telemetry and S-bus, the problem was unique to the iA6 only. I found a solution in the bind procedure, simple really, but also useful if you don't want to use telemetry, and possibly save power. All you do is power the receiver with bind plug in, then remove the bind plug prior to powering up the transmitter with bind button in to enable telemetry, or leave the plug in during transmitter power up to disable telemetry. I was caught for some time on this one, and interestingly, the firmware upgrade only affected the iA6 programmed models, not the X6b or AFHDS models. Yet to test, but It may be possible to disable telemetry with the X6B the same way, just using the button instead of the bind plug. I'm still, discovering a lot of interesting things about this great radio. Cheers.
Wow, good pickup. Thanks for adding to the knowledge base Alasdair.
Thank you so much! Even though I haven't upgraded the firmware I am having the same problem with all off my ia6 and ia6b receivers. This even made me crash my scracth build airplane on the maiden flight. Using the bind plug works for now but if I ever find a permanent solution I will let you know. Thanks again for helping. This is why I like youtube comments :)
Thank you for the video :)
Thanks for watching!
Andrew. This is the most comprehensive explanation of this radio TX I have seen to date. well done once again.
Here is a problem I and others as well may have. Cameras that are turned on and off from the TX. Mine has it's own on/off switch and works great except that the information recorded is lost because it has not been saved via the usual method.
Someone (on TH-cam) did mention that briefly shorting two of the wires would work as the switch but which two? Some have four wires so complicate things even more. Any advise would be most appreciated.
Regards from N.Z.
Thanks Bob. I'll look into that. I have a Foxier coming soon.
great sir I have not seen thatmuch detailed explanation.
Thanks Rajesh, hope it helps
Great choice for a beginner radio indeed.. Good choise sir.. I have a i6S here now as well, but well hmm.. I think I prefer the FS-i6 (mostly because of the trims)
Good point, where are the trims on the i6S?
That radio has 2 buttons at the back.. The idea is: you move the gimbal so the plane (for instance) flies level.. then press the button, and it would remember that deflection as being the trim...
Thanks
Great video
My pleasure
It depends on age ,budget and what you want out of the hobby. I love building so I stay away of foamy's. But if you're just trying to fly? the eflight apprentice is amazing. And it comes with a transmitter and battery and everything to fly.
I should have just got this transmitter instead of the Turnigy Evolution Pro as I did not know it didn't have elevon mixing but in a way I got this because I already got the Turnigy Evolution Pro I ordered a FlySky because they can use the same receiver.
Thanks Andrew! I have the Turnigy i6 and theres no difference apart from the name. Had mine for nearly 2ys and can't fault it. Only thing is I've just bound my 20th plane..... now I'm trying to figure out what to do next!?? I have a Turnigy i6S rx in my 20th model. She's called "Zirconia" just search Rcgroups for the plans and maiden video....
That's a great problem to have Earl.
Hi Andrew..New to the hobby..thanks for the demo. Just got my radio :), I wonder what voltage for battery u use when binding?
Thanks and regards
Hi Mohammed. If you look up the specs for the receiver it says 4.5 to 6.6V hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-ia6-receiver-6ch-2-4g-afhds-2a-receiver.html
I used a 5V battery
Good Video
Hi Andrew, thanks for all the informative videos they are a great help for beginners. Just wondered if this Flysky TX can work with the xk a800 which I have.
Thanks again.
Barry
No, different protocols
@@AndrewNewton many thanks.
Back in the hobby after raising chillins during the aughts. Quick question: does this tx have bind and fly capability like a Spektrum DX6i tx has? Interested in some of the BNF aircraft out there.
Welcome back, things have changed over the last 5 years. I think BNF is mostly a Spectrum thing. But this transmitter is sold with some RTF planes (see Banggood)
Great video, so far one of the most detailed review of the controller. I'm just a newbie and getting into fpv racing drone. Is there a video on what does the switches A to D functions for? also the VrA and B?
Hello Roy. They can be used for whatever you choose. Things like throttle hold, dual rates, landing gear, camera panning, switching between stable or acro modes. I'll do a video on it soon but I only know planes
Andrew Newton Thank you. The video has been very helpful :) will wait for the next video.
Andrew Newton I wanted to learn on how do u set up the switches like the stable or acro mode. Is it in the betaflight app?
Not sure sorry. Look at iforce2d videos. He uses this radio for quads
thank you :)
Mini CD's work in all Laptop's and Computers equiped with a CD-ROM
Hello ! Great vid. I conect oposite voltage baterry to my fs ia6 receiver AND saw smoke... any ideas for the repair
If you cant put the smoke back in you will just have to buy a new receiver
Your cat wants to get into RC too?
Nice video BTW! I might get one, since I am using my dad's transmitter and receiver and I don't want to break it since it was expensive and rare now.
Excellent radio with very good range
great radio system for the money, and i love how small it is. the only slight gripe i have with it, is that the maximum spring tension is a bit too soft for my liking, and using longer sticks. (the sticks it came were quite short and VERY sharp and spikey)
how did you get the voltage telemetry to work with a 2A receiver? i thought that was only possible with the 2B version.
All good points. The voltage telem just worked.
just started rc after 15yrs, lay off, lots of things have changed, get laughed at when i turn up with me 27mh Tx, :), was looking for a nice priced Tx, got a saturn xr4, its ok, but, so am getting this one,
Good choice, this radio has seriously good range and features
@@AndrewNewton GOT IT, now to set it up, its like a control with new TV, :), wot button do i press :)
my one has been upgraded to 20 planes, :),
Andrew, thank you. I was the guy who chided you for your decal blowoff on your review of the Hawksky V2, you had a gracious reply, I salute you for your obvious talent. I have received the FlySky-i6X transmitter with the older style ( your review receiver), I am presently learning to fly with the Dromida Sky Cruiser 2 pusher prop trainer, RTF version. Andrew, with my new FlySky transmitter/receiver, what would be your recommendations for my first RC plane with the FlySky ? I have joined the AMA and will have access to local fields here in Houston, TX. I am thinking of the Hawk Sky V2 as my first, larger plane with this Sky Fly transmitter. I am interested in EF gliders and also scale EF planes down the road. Thank you so much, Andrew. I am following the Australian Open as I write this !
Boy they had some cruel heat ever the last two days. Tough athletes. Yes, can't fault the HawkSky V2, perfect plane for you. But if you put decals on it I'll never talk to you again. (joke)
Andrew Newton . I am not going to put decals on the V2 out of respect for you, sir. I am going to have it tattooed. I want to stand out in the crowd as I learn to fly.
I came back to your vid. I don't like the two antennas on the receiver, they seem heavy! I build 30 cm wooden gliders/ planes. Are there other receivers I can use with this radio without those 2 antennas? Also, I can use any ESC with any radio?
Yes to both questions. I showed another receiver in the video
Great video. I was wondering if this radio can be used on gas plane as well
Yes it actually has idle adjustment, which I assume is a gas feature
Good time!
The question is: Have you ever encountered a search for uninverted SBus in ia6, ia10,and ia10b receivers?
I want to make a repeater on QCZEK LRS, I need an uninverted SBus.
Some receivers have such a signal and you can take it to the built-in inverter.
There is an option to make an external inverter, but these are unnecessary elements in the repeater.
Thanks!
No I haven't seen that on the FlySKY receivers
just to let you know the mini disc can be placed in your computer disc drive there's a indent in the middle that is made for mini disc.
Not on my iMac
Can i use it for drone or bicopter??
Great video great learning 👌, very helpful,thank sir
Glad you liked it
Sir please upload a video on APM2.8v flight controller and flysky fs-i6 RC tx/rx because i have both same but i face problem. Well your work is great.
Thanks, but I don't have APM.
I have 2 ask because I've had it already lol. Im using it on an old tugr. I got the throttle n steering on my left stick. The other is for a fire cannon. I got the up down servo going but cant get the other to go left or rt. And i have a twitching issue...when i give it throttle the cannon twitches? Maybe you could aim me in a direction to look into? It did move left n rt thru the rt dial on the top center of the remote tho once lol. Why wouldnt they make a decent manual. Thanks!
Canon left right needs to be plugged in to the aileron channel (Ch 1). Seems like you have it in ch 5 or 6 if the knob is operating it.
Thank you! I did get that. My problem was when I first started it up I chose raptor420 or something assuming it didn't matter LOL! I went back and chose glider/plane and everything is good. Now I'm tryin to get my lights on a switch or dial. My second 4ch radio. 1st was on a tamiya bruiser so switches and dials are all new to me. Thanks!!
Hello Andrew-great review!~ Do you know if the 4 AA batteries can be replaced by 4 AA NIMH ones? If so, is there a charge port to use?
No charge port, don't know about rechargeables
I personally have a reason for switching stick modes; mode 4 more closely resembles a mouse and keyboard/xbox controller setup, which is how I pilot in flight sims almost universally--it's perfect/natural for quads imo....*does this i6 Tx do mode 4?* I want to know before spending money on it...Also great video, great information, thank you for posting!
Can choose Mode 1, 2, 3 or 4 in the Sticks Mode. Then you would have to open the back and mod the gimbals I guess.
Thank you for the reply!
Hi - This is a very good video. I have just got into RC boats and looking for my first radio. Is there any reason I should not consider this radio for model boats.
Best to talk to my buddy Allen, he is into boats and uses this radio th-cam.com/channels/xp23yC005hanSysA4vodQA.html
Hi thanks for the great review! Will this bind to the blade 200qx? Thanks
Thanks Evan. It's unlikely to bind to the Blade, unless it has an AFHDS receiver
Andrew Newton thank you for the reply👍
Nice video ! wich battery you use for the receiver? is it ok to use 1 cell 3.7 lipo battery? because the receiver tells you that you need between 4 volts and 6 volts. Thanks
I use 5V from the BEC (usually built in to the ESC) or a separate 5V NiMh. 3.7V may not work
nine video Andrew Newton i just got this i6 & iA6 receiver but im a bite lost lol can you tell me whats the aileron ch & elevator ch & throttle ch and rudder the cd that come with it say no file lol i dont know what ch what plus im new to this its my first flysky receiver
William, just do a search for Turnigy i6 manual and you will find it. Mine is Mode 2 and it's Ch1 Aileron, Ch2 Elevator, Ch3 Throttle, Ch4 Rudder
awesome tutorial thanks, I cannot get my controller to arm to enable me to test the channels no matter what I do, it is bonded and rx and tx on display but wont do a thing after that !!!do u need all four motors in for it to arm? as your video shows u put one in and it worked without arminggreat video anyways thanks all
I was not using a flight control board, just receiver and servo. Might have to ask someone who knows more about your type of board.
thanks Andrew , I'm kinda stumped here but helped a lot thanks
