New to RC transmitters? Confused by the Flysky i6X user interface? In this video I'll show you how to navigate the radio interface and setup the FAILSAFE, AUX CHANNELS/SWITCHES, DUAL RATES AND EXPO, RECIEVER OUTPUT, CHANNEL REVERSING, and BINDING.
The FS-i6X is a FANTASTIC beginner radio and is only around $50! amzn.to/2osIur0
Use the Flysky FS-SM100 cable to connect to computer flight simulators: amzn.to/2U8TqrP
There are plenty more functions in this radio you can play with, so stay tuned for more vids like this. Let me know what you are interested in!
BTW, if you're flying a quadcopter, you will typically setup the failsafe, rates and expo, and channel reversing in your flight controller configurator (such as Betaflight).
BTWx2, I WAS WRONG! Flysky actually does have a decent manual for this radio! I found a link to a downloadable PDF here: www.google.com/url?sa=t&sourc...
COMMENT BELOW if you have questions or would like to see more videos about the FS-i6X! And let me know if this video helped you!

Just received mine today! My plane will arrive by next week hope all goes well thanks for this! :D
Just received my Fly Sky FSi6x and your tutorial video was OUTSTANDING, thanks dude! I love how the manufacturer entirely blows-off even offering a manual, too funny
You can download a manual from their site. It still pretty basic though.
awsome that press and hold cancel was everything i needed THANK YOU!!!!!! awesome instructions some of the functions were also helpful!!
....what I was after....how the hell do you save anything???
Thanks for this! Your tip to turn on the switches helped me get the trainer/student buddy box working.
You are a very good instructor. Thank You. John Meksa 76 Year old beginner.
Perfect instructions. Just what I needed. Thanks man :)
just set up my yachts with the dual rate for the rudder. Excellent instructions thank you
Thanks again!I'm 54 years old noob and about to fly my first fpv drone!Great video for beginners like me!
Better late than never! Welcome! 👍
Just the right place, you hit the nail on the head for me.
Thanks for this demo.. just trying to learn how to set up switches to do different functions on the aircraft, for example trying to set up switch C to do the three functions of my ZOHD Nano Talon so that 1 might be stability mode, 2 would be stability off and 3 using the the bigaole stability module would be the return to home if the aircraft got out of range on me. Still trying to figure it out. Will read your channels and switches again to see if i can do it. Thanks again. Happy Flying
This is useful for me, thank you very much, may all the good for you 🙏😁👍❤️
Awesome video! Thank you. After seeing your video the first time I decided to give Flysky a try. Been flying Spektrum. The Fs-i6 and x models are fantastic for the price. May try the FS-i8. Incredible technology for around $100.00.
You're welcome! Yeah I think so too!
I have ordered this transmitter for a beginner rc plane. Thanks for your helpful video.
You're welcome!
This is the first 2.4ghz radio I've brought after a 20 year absence from the hobby,and its brilliant for the price. Its range is excellent and relatively simple to operate and reliable. I used to fly with Sanwa Vanguard 35mhz back in the day.
I also haven't flown in 20 plus years either, this is also my first 2.4ghz, I like it! 😂
So many thanks man. That helped! ;-)
Yess. You're so good ! Thanks man..
Subbed this one thanks for the information all important and most important things covered
Some moments were helpful, like the dual rate. But it would not hurt to explain what some terms mean. For example, what does EXP in the dual rates mean? Or which output should be selected and when? For example, there are two connectors on my FS-i6X receiver for connecting to the FC marked PPM and i-Bus. Which combinations should be used for using each of them? Or what is the i-BUS Setup menu for?
best flysky videos online. Thank you.
Awesome thanks for the video
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Well worth looking at l am learning all the time at 64 years old
Thank you
very cool video, thanks much
Great content! Thanks
Great video thank you 💯
awesome!
Love from india bro.really knowledge full video
Thank you!
This had some very valuable information, thank you!!
I'm a 56 year old *flying* N00b... but have been in RC Ground for over 35 years... If anyone can help, it would be appreciated. 👌
I've got the FS-T6... all I can afford. It's just for FliteTest Foamies anyway. Are the functions much different from the i6 and i6X??
This Video got me started, and I really appreciate it!! 😎👍👍
One thing not covered was Channel Mixing...
Specifically, until I can stay in the Air for longer than a Minute - I'd like to mix about 3-6 Degrees of Up Elevator with my Aileron input. (Automatic Bank & Yank??)
Is that even possible?
I flew the real ones in the Air Force back in the 90's... I've been told that could actually hinder my learning.
But remember, I'm also very experienced in RC Ground and at least have a firm understanding of Control when the Vehicle is coming towards me. Other than that, I've still got a LOT to learn!! 😋😳
I hope someone can help me with Mixing....

Love the end of the intro with the smile, classic infomercial “your about to get ripped off just 99 easy payments of $99.99....” (que smile)
I got it i got it !!! lololol from your instructions I figured how to assign channel 6 to the switch plug, so I put it in the receiver 6 position, and yes, it worked but was backwards 3-2-1 .. so I wondered if there was a way to reverse a switch and voila !! there is, and I reversed it and now the third position is return home. Merry Christmas and Happy Flying
Great! Merry Christmas!!
Thanks!
Thanks from India 🇮🇳
Sad to see you have only 9k subscribers
Glad I could help! 👍😁
thankyou, very helpfull
This was very helpful. My first digital radio and just getting back into it after a 20 yr. layoff. I was not able to access switch A for my dual rates, so I put it on B. I still don't know why A was not available. This is a four channel nitro trainer. How do you set up an idle and kill position on the throttle?
thenks.amazing
Super great video. I’ve just built my 1st RC plane and I have a question: how should I setup the Ailerons? I have a servo for each wing for right and left and cannot figure out how to manage that. Thx a lot!
Dude you cracked me up when you said if you reverse channel three crazy shits going to happen,
I got 30 stitches and 9 staples on my arm when I did just that with a 200srx. Ouch!
thank you so much for your sharing. terima kasih
thanks for the tutorial, I use my fs-i6x for tanks but I wanted to ask if you have a tutorial on how to set up the i-bus on this tx?
I don’t know what I did but I got my mob7, binded it, and everything seemed fine. It was SWA to arm/disarm which is what I wanted, SWC switched from Acro mode to Horizon mode or auto level mode. I switched some stuff around like turned the VRA and B knobs off, which I later turned back on. And I switched the Aux settings a bit but it wouldn’t fly... what I ended up doing was setting everything back to how it was, then I put the aux channel 1 5 to SWA and then the other one (6) to SWC I believe and what I had to do was turn on Fly mode and set it to SWA arm and disarm and now it works again but I don’t know why it wouldn’t work normal when I set everything back...
Hello and thank you s overy much for your awesome video as it helped me setup a few features in my i6X.
One question though if you don't mind?
Is there a way in which the gimbals can be calibrated. Because if I setup failsafe on my throttle it only goes to 93% and not 100% like in your video.
Thanks
Hey man, I subbed to your channel. I just got this radio and this tutorial is awesome! There one thing about my radio. When I try to put power to my throttle, the motor won't budge! Do I have to set anything? Thanks.
YOU are the man
No, YOU are the man!👍
Ahh that explains it..so to dampen the sensitively around the centre of the stick you use positive expo in this case the "up" botton will make the movement less sensitive around the centre and the opposite with down button - minus ..been flying 20 yes but this as always confused me because without flying it you can't tell what is minus and what is positive. .Thanks for that.
Exactly. I will be making a video about expo soon. it was a very confusing concept for me at first.
Thank you for this video. I have the Fs-16X transmitter. I have the fly mode set to switch three which is the only three position switch on my radio. However, I only get : normal and sport why is that?
thank you!!!!im 3 day looking for the save button...... its really wierd tha you have to hold cancel.. i was holding the ok button like craizy.
Hi I've had a lot of signal losses recently and I was wondering whether I could set the failsafe to elevator up or if that was a good idea with throttle at 25%
Thanks for your help
you could also cover the difference between positive and negative expo
How would you bind it to an Eachine P51d mini mustang? I have the module that you plug in but cant work out the rest lol. Great video.
Great video. One question: I have a FMS Reflex v2 gyro and I want to use this with my Flysky i6x and receiver fs ia10b?
Fs i6x is mixing channel 3 throttle with channel 4. 30a esc wont stay programmed running an Amazon 2200kv. Wont go full throttle unless I full rudder and full thottle at same time. I've google but can't find this problem. Thanks! You make some great videos!
I need a lay down in a quiet room for a while. Thanks for a very valuable video, but setting up systems with just those buttons and needing to learn the difference between a quick and long press was a pain lol.
Would you please explain how to set up the fsi6x to use IBus?
Im building a rc mower. If I heard you right you can set two channels to fail safe? I have a servo to close throttle and kill the engine. And a remote relay to cut power to the motor controller.
Great video. It would be nice if you explained the “expo” though. I am new at this and have no clue what expo is…
Gey great video ! Only question is, how I setup a Gyro ? I have everything wired and working but I can’t get my gyro onto one of the switches to turn on and off , thanks !
Thank you ,i was having problems setting switch to reverse as i am new to rc. i watched other videos none helped, your video you say to save you have to hold cancel button i was just pressing and releasing it,
how is the smoothness of stick resolution in comparison with i6 ?
I use i6 and the servo moves not smoothly, (compare with devo 7 or other Futaba, Jr... transmitters). Thanks!
Hi and thanks for the great video. Is there a specific way of setting up the Reflex V2 gyro. It has no gyro, intermediate, and beginner ona 3 way switch. However on a 2 way switch it has intermediate and beginner. I cant seem to figure out how to set it up.
I use my 3 way switch for flaps currently. Thanks very much
Bob
would it be possible to turn my servo the full 180 degrees using this controller?
Thank You. You've produced briliant movie. By the way, can You recomend information source with clear safety procedure to upgrade firmware of FS-i6X ?
I'm setting mine up now in my skytrainer , should it be in PPM, or PWM ?
How to make the alieron and elevator mix ? For example when I turn left and right with the alieron I want the elavtor to move up aswell . instead when I turn to one side the elevator goes down and when I turn to the other side it goes up . how to make the elevator stay up when I turn both sides?
Awesome ! This video quality is top class ! Loved it.
Well thank you!
Is this transmitter capable for 3D helicopters such as the idle up switch?
What are the 2 iner switches for the one to left and the 3 position one
Is there a way to make channel 3 and 4 controlled via the switches normally used for aux channels 5-10? I need to make channel 3 controlled via SWA or VRA
For RC planes , what out put should I use ?
Adam, does the radio come with 10 channels or do you have to download software or something?
Hi!. I have some planes for beginners and have a "self stabiliced" function with a Switch (beginner/normal). This function is configurable in this controls or it's a feature in the receiver? I'm searching information about this feature before buy.
So is there anything to change on the output screen or just leave it as is?
I am using the Flysky for a giant scale airplane with a gas motor. I had to reverse channel 3 to get throttle to move in right direction. Can I still use failsafe? Thanx
Yea uam new and need all the help o can get I have the echine wizard 220x with the flysky i6 s ready to fly
Great video! I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to reverse a channel by flipping a switch. I have a bot that can drive upside-down if it is flipped over, and was wondering if there was any way to map one of the switches to reverse the directions of the motors. Thanks in advance!
New to FPV I have a fs-16x I am using Liftoff to learn, I would like to setup the transmitter for my X220 drone what setting should I change.
Cara muito bom preciso faser essas modificações no meu radio agora é passar seu vedeo mais vezes para ver porque não falo inglês
Hey man probably been asked alot but I have a problem with my FS6 and FS6X with controlling multiple models at once. I have 6 battle bots all with FS2A rx in them and Ideally I would like all 6 models on each controller but as soon as I bind model 2 to #2 bot it will control model #1 and #2 etc - I have AHFS2A enabled I am sure this should be possible ? any help would be amazing
Hi Adam! Need some help! Got a quad with fly sky FS A8S receiver and the radio FS-i6x. There is an issue when I hit full throttle on my quad.. it says rx loss for abt 1sec and after it gets normal.. but it's not very safe to fly like that.. maybe u got any idea what could it be? Receiver issue, radio or even some kinda vibrations on high throttle? 🤷♂️
How many extra switch stickers do you get with the remote control
Do you have video for the setup of external module like crossfire
Hi, my best compliments about video...so I have a question for you I have necessity to invert the channels in "stick mode". Menu offer "mode 4" but i need to invert the position (CH1 with CH3) and (CH4 with CH2) what I can do it?? can I invert the cable inside or what? I hope to explained well. Thanks for your answer! ;-)
failsafe is one of the best functions for newbies incase somebody is helping you trim.
Absolutely! I never fly without a working failsafe.
Thank you for your tutorial. Problem, hoping you can help with please. When I have channel 1-4 as factory sent, channel 5-10 off and unassigned and all switches in down position, remote starts pleasantly, except I cannot use channels 5-10. Once I assign all channels up to channel 10 their each switch or control, and save with cancel button, then when turning remote on it yells that all switches must be in down position. THEY ARE DOWN! If I go back in and turn off channels 5-10, starts perfectly again. I would like to use additional channels and cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. Can you please help?
ppm output is off if i turn on the receiver bind everything work?? or just lets it off?
Does the Does the isx support h1-v2 for fw200 helicopter GPS and acrobatics
If it looses range, and if the throttle is cutoff wont, it crash the drone? Is there a way to let the drone returne to base as failsafe option?
very informative.. more than the Chinese manual :)
Glad it was helpful!
Can this transmitter do End Point adjustments? Thanks for the Video!!
Sure can!
Thanks for the information, I needed it.
Where can I get replacement toggles?
Hi, thanks for the video, will this remote work for bind n fly aircraft that require a remote like an apprentice, or timber, tundra aircraft?
No, you would need to install your own FlySky receiver (like the FS-iA6B). Also, if the airplane has a flight controller or GPS installed (so that it can auto takeoff and land, circle around a point, auto level, etc.), the receiver might be built-in, in which case you would have to have a transmitter that is recommended by the airplane manufacturer (the Horizon Hobby Carbon Cub S+ is a good example).
@@RCwithAdam1 thank you for the reply. I sincerely appreciate it
can it bind to AIOF3 BRUSHED flysky v1.1? i have trouble to do it
Any tips why my throttle sets motors to full speed with just tiny little movement up ?
How do you know what receiver set up. Mine came with a 10 channel receiver so is this ppm and s bus ????
Hi noobie here just bought a i6x do you have a tutorial to setup for hexacopter f550 with apm2.8
I have no clue what any of these transmitting signals do but IDGAF, I'll probably never out grow this transmitter. this thing is sooooooo bad ass though! it works perfect! i was even able to solder on a new switch that i broke on it.
Hello Adam, Lou here.
I just saw your video. Having a heck of a time setting up this transmitter with a PicaSim flight simulator... are you familiar with it? I do have to say that I did pick up more on your video. I went through the motion mentioned on sim set up but cant get the plane joysticks to function. Any advice to remedy my issue?
Which settings take precedence if, for example, a failsafe setting is set on the transmitter and on a quadcopter (via Betaflight)?
Hi! That's a great question! Honestly, I'm not sure, but I think the Betaflight failsafe takes precedence. I should test this.
Hello. What about air brakes or spoilerons? How it have to do? Thanks
Hi, just wondering if its possible to downtune the throttle rates on channel 3 the same way you tuned the rates for channel 1 on this transmitter? I am starting my first quad build soon and with 2207 2600kv motors i fear it will have way too much power for me to handle at the moment. I can fly FPV & LOS but i am still very much so learning. Cheers.
Yes its possible, you can go to throttle curve, pick the mode you want it in (2 modes), then pick one mode and limit the throttle to your liking. You can then use a switch to toggle between the 2 modes, 1 being normal, and the other being your adjusted throttle curve.
Hi, Adam - I'm trying to set twin motors up, but the display is showing 66% on one side, and 100%on the other - how do I reset to 100 % for both, please?
