I have just purchased a RIPMAX trainer with .42 Thunder Tiger Engine. I purchased this Transmitter and Receiver for £40. After watching your videos I set up the radio gear and fine-tuned the plane. I then took it for a flight, having never flown before. I enjoyed every minute and even managed to land it without damage. Thanks for your videos. They really helped.
Thanks to you my transmitter isn't just a mysterious little plastic box with batteries in it any more. I set up the throttle switch and set the dual rates and expo with no problem. Thanks again! It's always a pleasure sir!
This comment is for anyone who wants to learn how to. !!!!!!! I just wanted to say, reading something is one thing but understanding what you read is another thing....this man Andrew ,takes the time to show you how to do it and once I watched it I know how to do it.
You just made my day, I have a battle bot and I did the centering mod, flicking the throttle down made my bot shoot backwards! I used the throttle curve thing but set it all to 50% and it works just like yours! Thank you for this video!
Hi Andrew, as a newbie to the RC flying game I would just like to add my thanks for your great videos, always clear, informative, and to the point. Your generosity is truly a blessing.
Once again you've concisely answered the question I had! Building my first plane w flaps and wasn't sure exactly how to do it with my FlySky radio. Thank you Andrew!
Thanks again a thousand times Andrew Thanks to you, I just programmed the engine shutdown easily on my RC Flysky FS I6 with switch A .. for my future glider the Volantex 2400. Even for a person who does not speak English, with the youtube translation it's great, you speak very calmly near the microphone and you take the time to explain everything to us. A little French who learns a lot from you! Un petit Francais qui apprends beaucoup de choses de vous !
That makes me happy thanks. I'm glad my videos can be understood with translation. We are watching a thrilling French series at the moment "The Bureau". Great spy drama.
"Le Bureau des Légendes" ....yes it's a best french succés ! Just like all your videos you are a Légendes too ... I finally understood how to mix the flaps with the elevator Merci pour ton travail de montage vidéo et ta patience, je t'aime !
One thing I did do was to adjust the rate and expo it really make a huge difference in the sticks sensitivity again thanks for your help explaining how to do it
Still prepping my Radian Pro that I just purchased for a maiden flight (first RC plane too) once the weather gets better here in Michigan. I have this controller and your tutorial is extremely helpful and I am glad I found it. Thank you!
You put together an excellent instructional video, much appreciated. I'm just now getting back into the hobby after 20yrs, I just ordered this radio and an Eflight Timber. Things have come a long ways from the 80s/90s nitro planes and radio systems.
I have purchased 4 of these radios and this has been my go to video. Thank you sooo much. I hope you are still flying and enjoying life. Good health, love and wealth!! 🍻
I wanted to say thank you for your explanation of the FS I6 TRANSMITTER AND SET UP I HAVE 3 PLANE'S PROGRAMMED TO IT I USED YOUR SETTINGS AS A GUIDE TO START WITH
Howdy, Andrew. Greetings from Texas. Job well done, sir. As a beginner, I went with your beginner recommend radio, the updated version FS-is6X, very affordable, after delivery I almost sent it back as I watched some of your subsequent videos on the Taranis Q7, but I am going to stick with my beginner guns here. Not a cost thing, just a "do I need to order all bell and whistles" thing as I revisit an old hobby from decades ago. I am presently flying the beginner 3 CH RTF "Sky Cruiser" pusher prop plane you reviewed earlier, I am happy to report that this plane ( in a cushy grass field) has survived multiple hard landings and a bona fide crash or two without a hiccup. Very good flyer/glider in calmer winds. Excellent range with the included radio. Impressive. I am awaiting delivery of the Dynam Hawksky V2 as the second plane and first with ailerons and paired to my FS-i6X / FS-iA6B combo. I am also building a Flite Test "Simple Cub" as I just love that design and historical scale appearance. I live close to several lakes, so I am thinking a "float plane" version here. Thank you, Andrew !
I know this is old, but I've been looking for it. Thanks for posting some tips and info for the Flysky radio. They often get overlooked by most well-known R/C pilots.
Great vid. Just got this transmitter and the instructions leave a lot to be desired. Thanks for putting this together. Turnigy should be compansating you.
This is one of the best videos for helping set up the flysky transmitter. We'll done sir 👏 and thank you 😊 I am subscribing to your channel. I just bought 2 of these transmitters . So I can teach my young grandchildren how to fly . This information will help in that process. Hopefully you still respond to comments, and if I have any issues , I could ask you questions. I flew yesterday for the first time in 18 years . I was nervous but no crashes in 3 flights lol . 😆
@@AndrewNewton thank you Andrew. 😊 I'm going to set up trainer and student mode today . I'm going to be setting it up on ( D ) switch. I used ( B ) switch for motor cut off safety. And ( A ) switch for normal and sport . That configuration just felt comfortable to me . My question is once it's set up does it stay set up ? And when I plug in the cable to both transmitters do I have to activate the trainer / student mode . Or does it recognize it automatically 🤔. And then when I unplug the cable does it automatically go back to normal mode ? Or do I have to turn the mode on and off every time I want to train one of the kids ? Thank you again for getting back to me . And for making the video, I had a lot of fun yesterday setting up a 3 of my planes . I have 12 planes more still in the attic . All of them with brushless motors and castle creation ESC's . I learned 2 days ago how to update the software on the ESC's . I couldn't remember how to program them with the transmitter so I bought the program card . And called the company and they helped me over the phone. They had not been update sense 2004 lol 😆. The boys are getting excited about flying . They are using the new simulator and learning all the terminology about the planes . They are so smart for 9 and 5 years old . Both A students in school. If I knew how much fun grandkids were , I would have had them first lol 😆 . I'm in Las Vegas Nevada. And not sure where you are or the time difference. It's 3:27 am as I write to you . I'm so excited I can't sleep 😆 . Have a great day sir .
Just wanted to add that I went through your video carefully last night and was able to successfully program the throttle safety switch, the the dual rate switch and the accompanying expos, what looked a little intimidating at first is turning into an interesting journey. Thank you, Andrew. I didn't buy the Taranis QX7 because of the programming involved at start up, I kinda wish I had I had gone for it now. But this Flysky FS-is6X is better than I am right now and I won't be afraid to upgrade when I have a good reason to do so down the road. Cheers and many happy days to you, sir.
Can't thank you enough for your excellent videos Andrew as you make them so easy to understand for an old Noob that's not used to these fancy computer controllers. Last time I flew it was u-line and crystal controlled gear. Yes.... I'm that old. LOL I started flying quads last year finally bought a FS-i6 and recently bought an Eachine E010S (no controller) because they said it would fly with the Flysky but I had no idea how to set it up. Couple of your videos and have that UAV zipping around the house. Thanks again and keep up the great work...... Steve *Dance the Skies*
Thank you, Sir very helpful! Thought I'd never figure out the throttle cut setup until I found your video. I guess it just goes to show some of us can scream and yell at a $50 radio, as well as we can a $600 radio.
@@butkorosu8853 Hey 4sale TV how is it working out for you? did it come with a receiver w/telemetry? does the unit have a good clear voice for the telemetry call-outs on battery level of the on-board motor battery?
Andrew, I believe that the throttle hold is for the nitro flyers who would use that to set their idle speed. Great video on programming. I suspect it applies to almost every newer radio. My older Spectrum 7Ch is impossible to program even after watching videos and downloading the manual. Any good videos going in to depth on Expo and dual rates? Folks love to tell us what they are set at but not why. Thanks again for doing great, informative videos!
FlySky i6x transmitter All three receivers I have are the same. But only one produces that second bar tell me the battery life. At the battery in the airplane as well as the battery life in the transmitter. Aside from the numbers on the screen Which all three receivers showed those?
how do i change the handset so i can use both left and right controls for two motors on a boat? I need reverse and forward for both controls to turn sharply. great instructions. i bought one from new but its preset for a plane. many thanks Carl
Well I got my new batteries today and now I'm looking forward to flying my plane next chance I get will let you know how it goes with the settings you gave as a guide line
brilliant vids m8! there are people who know everything about a subject and couldn't teach it to save their life, and there are people who know everything about a subject and are just spot on in the way they can pass that information on to others - you (of course) are one of the latterI'm also getting back into RC after years of just buying beautiful aircraft when they come on special - I have 8 very nice aircraft that will now be finished, with my new i6 (and your help) I will be back in the air as early as today...btw I live on 34 acres here in S E Qld and I fly a 1:1 Drifter ultralight aircraft - I'm really living the dream here m8 because I built a 200 metre grass airstrip for the Drifter a 5 minute walk from the house - RC heaven m8.....
Andrew I was hoping that you would recommend how I attach the front of the rudder to the fuselage in a little more detail than just using a screw if you would please I would appreciate it
I have used a little plastic hinge, with one side glued into a slot in the rudder foam and the other side screwed to the fuselage with 2 little servo screws. No need for backing, it would be impossible to get it into place anyway.
Thanks I'm finding that out lol.i have taken the motor apart in my evolution and had it put the c clip back on the shaft to fix it but I think I'll end up replacing the motor on this one. But other than that I had a great flight and I thought a good landing, I was wrong LOL..in your Phoenix did you have to add weigh to the front to get the C.G CORRECT. on your plane and for that plane what is a good angle for this plane I have it about a 5%down grade from level
I had a lot of fun using that radio as a controller, via SmartPropPlus (SPP) with the free flight sim PicaSim. A DIN plug is wired to a 3.5mm audio jack (pin 1 of the DIn to the tip of the jack, and sleeve to sleeve to connect ground) plugged to line-in. The Flysky works in PPM (Walkera) mode within SPP transmitter settings. Run SPP before starting Picasim. In the Joystick settings map the sticks and you've got a cheap flight simulator.
Look for the flaperon video on my channel, and just change aileron channel for rudder channel. But the plane will not fly a slow circle by itself, still have to control it.
Time warp. ha ha you know setting up my little zohd mini, as I call it, using my flysky transmitter, which I am learning about again, geez, got it all working except throttle cut and a switch for the throttle on and off etc .. this video really helped!! Hey only took half a day to relearn all this stuff.. so what else is new when yur old. lol Watch for a little video soon with the little tiny zohd.. Tried it today and broke it .. now it is ready to go again. Stronger than ever with lots of hot glue... This Hobby is nuts.. ha ha ha .. Happy Flying
It's very usefull!!.. Thanks!... I'have a doubt.. I need a rx-tx set with gyroscope (Self-stabilicing) for my plane. To toggle between Expert and novice mode. I'don't know... this feature is on the TX or the receiver? It's configurable in this TX? ....
You would need a gyro receiver. For the Flysky there is this www.phaserfpv.com.au/products/flyskyfs-bs6receiverwithgyrostabilizationsystemforgt2eit4sgt5transmitter
@@AndrewNewton That's really only suitable for RC Cars - to counter steering drift. For planes there isn't much available in Flysky as an integrated receiver stabilizer. Plenty of add-ons though - Kopilot, Hobby Eagle, SN Sparrow etc.
It's easy, there is a VTail option in the model setup menu. Plug the ailerons in to ch1 and tail servos in to ch2 and ch4. May need to reverse one or both of them depending on your servos.
Hi M. Newton, I was wondering if I can use my fs-i6x on two different rc plane using two receivers and two kopilots, I would like to be able just to chose the model on the transmitter without having to transfert my receiver and pair the setting for the kopilot chosing the type of rc plane I use. Thank you again for your good advise, have a nice day.
Have just aquired another Flysky i6 (great unit) TX into which I was going to install a Assan Duel receiver contoller for buddy box training with out the cables. Question.... is this model OK for this operation, if so could you please advise the details for connection. Thanks Colin
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?
Plug the servo into which ever Aux channel you want to use, 5 or 6. In the Functions setup go to Aux channels, change source to whatever you want to control the servo with
I do exactly what you do to set up the safety feature, but when I turn the transmitter on it says: lower throttle and all switches up. But the throttle also have to up. It is driving me creacy. If I do not set it up to the top position the transmitter will not work
After I launch it. Thinking it's at full power. As I'm trying to gain altitude. It seems to take a role. To the left and nose dive into the ground. Because it has no power when I put Full Throttle I get full power for in the beginning 10 seconds 15 seconds, and then it's dropped down to like maybe 1/4 power. Not knowing that. Every time I try to go up it would roll and come straight down into the ground.
No, when I got my first i6 it was still a year before I started flying planes, so I had little reason to look at any of that stuff - for quads it's all done in the flight controller.
I noticed that you have the alorons and rudder working together but when you make a right turn using the alorons the rudder also moves right which gives it downwards direction shouldn't the rudder be on a right turn be moving to the left to give it a upward direction or do I have it backwards
Thank for the video. i am facing a problem with my FS i6x elevator stick. When i push the elevator stick up for little value like 20 to 25% servo didn't rotate but when i push the stick further more to 100% the servo moves to its end point. And when i push the stick down it works fine. In down position my servo gives me little pitch varience according to my stick. But in upward push i only get full pitch or zero pitch. What can be the issue. Thanks in advance
Andrew I'm having a problem with the controllers with my family i6 transmitter for me it's to sensitive when I go to use the ailerons I inadvertently will add or decrease the elevator. And I remember in one of your videos you explain how to set that so it's not quite as sensitive so when I go to use a torons I won't be moving the elevator in other words I'll have to move the stick further before it controls the function so if you could tell me which video that you demonstrated this in I would greatly appreciate it so I can re watch it and adjust the settings accordingly. thank you Jeff b.in Seattle.
Hi Andrew. Is it possible to set up a throttle cut function for a glow engine, so that the engine will idle when the stick is at its lowest setting, but will stop when the "cut" switch is activated ? If so, could you explain how to do this please ?
Thaks for the reply Andrew, this is what happen: I turn on the transmitter and tells me to set up all switches to the up position and the throttle to down position, however if I do not set the throttle to the up position it keeps beeping. Till I do
Hi Andrew,just bought this TX,.. a question,,do you have to set-up the kill switch on all models or do you set it up ONCE and the TX remembers it all the time,, ?.. thanks for a great tutorial ,,,
Hi I’m wondering if you can show me how to set it for align T. rex 450. Because I’m having problem with the receiver if all servo connected the red light stay on and then suddenly it cut out the connection from transmitter and receiver ???
Sir,I have a blade 450 3d flybar and an fsi6 tx n afdhs(not2a)rx and was wondering if you have any idea how to set it up?!! I cant get the servo s to work in unison.Is this where this mix thing comes in??? Appreciative of any pointers or comments.. Cheers.
I have a Turnigy TGY-i6 (for model yacht racing) which I believe is the same as your Skyfly demo. model. The sails control lines (operated via a winch) are on channel 3. A friend can use switch to make small in/out adjustments to the which (on left hand stick). Can you please advise me how this is set up. Also, is it possible to have the left hand stick "notchy" rather than the smooth feel? Thank you, Alan
Love the video, I bought the Flysky i6s for my plane and I was wondering how you can program a servo to stop at say 20 degrees and return to home. Thanks
Hi Andrew, I've got a rc truck using this remote I'm using switch C for the 3 speed transmission witch works great. Is there a way to make switch A,B,D into on/of switches for lights or similar? Thanks in advance. Great vid.
Yes, but if you plug lights into the reciever they will be getting 5V continuously unless they have the cuircuitry to understand the signal sent by the transmitter. Servos have that circuitry built in
Hey Andrew, next time your doing a project that is relevant to flapperons could you maybe make a video discussing all the wiring and transmitter set up for that?
Had the same question. Look at Andrew’s flaperon vidéo as he says, at 4’30. The key is to assign an “empty” channel to Switch C, then create a mix between that empty channel and the “real” channel on which the servos are assigned. Then you will be able to decide on the amount of travel you want for each position.
Thank you sir for such a great and informative video. I have flight mode on my trainer . Reflex V2. Usually works on a 3 way switch so Gyro off. Intermediate, and beginner. It will work on a 2 way switch but eliminates the off position. I am wondering what switch is best used for this since my 3 way is used for flaps , A is throttle cut The other right side 2 way is dual rate and expo. Would 2 way switch B or one of the var dials be better for gyro. I am old as dirt, and just getting going again since the days of crystals and slightly confused by the new technology. Please help if you can. Thanks Robert
Hi Andrew, Yes I have plugged in the auxiliary cable ( that's the only other cable I seem to have ). What do you mean by setting up a switch? I'm very new to all this so I'm a bit ignorant. Regards, Turlough Kennedy.
Do you have 2 servo style cables coming from the ESC? The main speed controller cable to the throttle channel on your receiver and the reversing cable goes to a spare channel (5 or 6). Then you have to assign a switch to that channel in the radio setup. Watch the video, it shows how to setup Aux channel switches.
Elevons are just flaperons/spoilerons using the elevator stick as the source (also called snap flaps), so I think you can leave the elevator on 2 and plug one of the ailerons into 5 then do the flaperon mixing.
8 ปีที่แล้ว
That is a smart setup, will copy some of your ideas . . . I implemented safety switch with throttle hold and had a and d switches switched. Also had flaperons on potentiometer. Will add some of rudder compensation if needed. Thanks!
Andrew hi - having just purchased a FlySky FS i6 (for model sailing), enjoy watching your instruction videos. Have swapped the stick mechanisms over to configure to Mode 2 i.e. throttle left and have successfully configured end points for Winch (channel 3 - throttle) and steering (channel 4 - rudder). However having trouble getting trim control switches on radio body to respond other than the throttle. Is there something I have configured incorrectly?
Hi again Andrew - wonder did you receive my response. Keen to get my system working I could call to discuss if you were happy for me to do that - would need your number. Mine is 0408 192 592 if thats more convenient. Regards Lynn
can i program independent aileron servos? i dont want to use a Y-cable. How should i go about assigning the AUX1 to the right aileron. Channel 1 is for the left aileron
Thank you for the info.i watched several of your videos and I've learned alot I enjoy flying but I really enjoy building planes .I don't think one screw by itself will be enough so I think I'll try some balsa wood, along the front sides shaped to the fuselage and cut to reduce the drag kind of like a corner brace... watching your flight of this plane you made it look like it's pretty stable and I don't mind sharing info with others from what I've learned .but I tell everyone about you and your how to videos and you show step by step instructions.the amount of time and effort you put into the them is unbelievable... thank you so much Jeff b. In Seattle
Andrew I'm having a another problem with a battery it's new 11.1 volt 2200 mah 25 c and I used my tenergy balance charger I tried it out in my plane and the power keeps going down then back up to full power and then back down up and down my other one works fine so do you know what I can do about this or what the reason for this
Thanks for telling me I bought 2 of the same batteries and one works fine but the other one is doing it I wanted to know what was the reason for it I haven't had to much luck with batteries if late thanks again for helping me
I did exactly what you did about ( switch c) but the position of the flap the middle positon of the ( switch c ) the flap do not move at all ???? but is moving at the last position , my transmitter is FS-I6X
Do you know how to update the firmware to 10 channels with rssi and where ALL settings change from 6 channels to 10 channels" Ex: For fail safe instead of only being able to set 6 channels for a fail safe, now you can set any of the 10? I really need that function because I have an emergency parachute function so i if i lose signal, the fail safe will activate the parachute system.
thank you very much Andrew, I have a question, I can not set my channel 5 to SWC, When I put the cancel key it's go back and nothing change!! can you help me?
Hello Andrew. I have the same transmitter, but the throttle is working in the bought switch position. Is same problem? How can I fix the transmitter function? Thanks.
@@AndrewNewton Hello. Normal, if the left switch is in up position, the throttle doesn't activate the motor, only in the down position. But my transmitter, activate the motor including the up position. Is this function normal?
I have another question for you I noticed you put rubber bands on your Phoenix or your evolution plane atop the wings you said something about the screws stripping out to help prevent it from happening do you recommend putting rubber bands on it or not.
Andrew have you figured out what the range of the i6x radio I found a est. Saying it is over 1 mile distance is that a accurate number with a clear line of sight...
Nice vid, is there anyway to change the total movment for the servo? I have this problem, when I set up the flaperons one servo moves more than the other, aparently it has a bigger range of movment than the other, is there anyway to fix this? tnak you
Just change both servos and same thing happens, the left servo has more movment range, I think it could be something relatit to the mix for flaperons....but Im not sure wish is the issue
Very helpful video. Thanks! There is one issue I am facing with this transmitter........ I am in the process of building a RC excavator and will be using the sticks to operate the bucket, arm and the rotating cab. That only leaves me with the VRA and VRB channels to drive each independent drive wheel (for the tracks)....... My question is... Is there a way to program the transmitter so that i could throw a switch and operate the tracks on the sticks too (like a mode A & B... disable the original commands and switch to "track mode", then switch back to "dig mode" without changing model)? I have seen a video where a Spektrum transmitter was set up to do this (though the author never explained how to do this). Any help would be appreciated, as this is my first step into the RC world!
Andrew I hope you can answer my question. I have the FlySky FX I6 transmitter And on the transmitter on the screen there, it shows the power of the batteries in the transmitter below that it shows another bar which shows the power of the receiver on one of my receivers, but my other two receivers don't show that second bar. Only one receiver produces that second bar like the top bar for the power of the batteries in the transmitter my other two don't do that. Why is this?
Anyway, only one receiver produces that second bar. Aside from the numbers which shows on all batteries only one receiver shows that second bar the other two receivers, which are also FlySky receivers same as the first one they don't produce that second bar.
I just got finished setting up the transmitter and now its working on all 3 receivers thank you for explaining how to do it I watched your video and followed your instructions once you told me what I needed to do....
Hey Andrew this is Jeff in Seattle it's been awhile. Anyway I just bought a futaba T6XA COMPUTER RADIO IT STILL USES CHRYSTALS . DO YOU HAVE ANY VIDEOS OF HOW TO SET IT UP PROPERLY. IF SO I WOULD LIKE TO WATCH IT THANK YOU...
Great Vid! I'm new to the hobby, just bought a phoenix 1600 glider. I'm now programming my i6, just wondering: What were the dual rates and expo setting for the elevator and rudder? keep up the good work! Greetings Mark from the Netherlands @6:30
Hi Mark. I would have 30% expo on everything and rates of 100 and 75 on the elevator. I dont fly a Phoenix 1600 but thats my usual setup for motor gliders
Can you remove channel 2 and 4 from stick and move to switches? I only need left/ right and up/down for car and want to use channels 2,4 5and 6 for switches to run 2 speed transmission and lock diffs. Thanks.
I wanted to ask you if I have a brushed motor with my fs i6x radio and in the throttle mode it says 25% 50% ect.and I don't use a esc will it go at full speed or at increment of 25 50 75 100 moving the throttle without the esc or will it go all or nothing

Howdy, Andrew. Greetings from Texas. Job well done, sir. As a beginner, I went with your beginner recommend radio, the updated version FS-is6X, very affordable, after delivery I almost sent it back as I watched some of your subsequent videos on the Taranis Q7, but I am going to stick with my beginner guns here. Not a cost thing, just a "do I need to order all bell and whistles" thing as I revisit an old hobby from decades ago. I am presently flying the beginner 3 CH RTF "Sky Cruiser" pusher prop plane you reviewed earlier, I am happy to report that this plane ( in a cushy grass field) has survived multiple hard landings and a bona fide crash or two without a hiccup. Very good flyer/glider in calmer winds. Excellent range with the included radio. Impressive. I am awaiting delivery of the Dynam Hawksky V2 as the second plane and first with ailerons and paired to my FS-i6X / FS-iA6B combo. I am also building a Flite Test "Simple Cub" as I just love that design and historical scale appearance. I live close to several lakes, so I am thinking a "float plane" version here. Thank you, Andrew !
Awesome, thanks for the update. The Hawksky is a very nice motor glider
I know this is old, but I've been looking for it. Thanks for posting some tips and info for the Flysky radio. They often get overlooked by most well-known R/C pilots.
Thanks Dustin. This radio performs well beyond it's price.
Great vid. Just got this transmitter and the instructions leave a lot to be desired. Thanks for putting this together. Turnigy should be compansating you.
Glad it helped
This is one of the best videos for helping set up the flysky transmitter. We'll done sir 👏 and thank you 😊 I am subscribing to your channel. I just bought 2 of these transmitters . So I can teach my young grandchildren how to fly . This information will help in that process. Hopefully you still respond to comments, and if I have any issues , I could ask you questions. I flew yesterday for the first time in 18 years . I was nervous but no crashes in 3 flights lol . 😆
Welcome back Tim. Happy to answer any questions
@@AndrewNewton thank you Andrew. 😊 I'm going to set up trainer and student mode today . I'm going to be setting it up on ( D ) switch. I used ( B ) switch for motor cut off safety. And ( A ) switch for normal and sport . That configuration just felt comfortable to me . My question is once it's set up does it stay set up ? And when I plug in the cable to both transmitters do I have to activate the trainer / student mode . Or does it recognize it automatically 🤔. And then when I unplug the cable does it automatically go back to normal mode ? Or do I have to turn the mode on and off every time I want to train one of the kids ? Thank you again for getting back to me . And for making the video, I had a lot of fun yesterday setting up a 3 of my planes . I have 12 planes more still in the attic . All of them with brushless motors and castle creation ESC's . I learned 2 days ago how to update the software on the ESC's . I couldn't remember how to program them with the transmitter so I bought the program card . And called the company and they helped me over the phone. They had not been update sense 2004 lol 😆. The boys are getting excited about flying . They are using the new simulator and learning all the terminology about the planes . They are so smart for 9 and 5 years old . Both A students in school. If I knew how much fun grandkids were , I would have had them first lol 😆 . I'm in Las Vegas Nevada. And not sure where you are or the time difference. It's 3:27 am as I write to you . I'm so excited I can't sleep 😆 . Have a great day sir .
Just wanted to add that I went through your video carefully last night and was able to successfully program the throttle safety switch, the the dual rate switch and the accompanying expos, what looked a little intimidating at first is turning into an interesting journey. Thank you, Andrew. I didn't buy the Taranis QX7 because of the programming involved at start up, I kinda wish I had I had gone for it now. But this Flysky FS-is6X is better than I am right now and I won't be afraid to upgrade when I have a good reason to do so down the road. Cheers and many happy days to you, sir.
Great to hear that Brooks. It's still a great radio with amazing range.
Can't thank you enough for your excellent videos Andrew as you make them so easy to understand for an old Noob that's not used to these fancy computer controllers. Last time I flew it was u-line and crystal controlled gear. Yes.... I'm that old. LOL
I started flying quads last year finally bought a FS-i6 and recently bought an Eachine E010S (no controller) because they said it would fly with the Flysky but I had no idea how to set it up. Couple of your videos and have that UAV zipping around the house.
Thanks again and keep up the great work...... Steve
*Dance the Skies*
Great hear that Steve. My very first taste was control line back in 1975
Thank you, Sir very helpful! Thought I'd never figure out the throttle cut setup until I found your video. I guess it just goes to show some of us can scream and yell at a $50 radio, as well as we can a $600 radio.
Ha, no problem. It's still a great radio for the price, programming is just bit quirky
Just bought this radio and I like it so far! Thanks for going over this in detail it helps a lot!
ViperTech how it is so far now? i am planning to buy it, is it worth the price ?
@@butkorosu8853 Hey 4sale TV how is it working out for you? did it come with a receiver w/telemetry? does the unit have a good clear voice for the telemetry call-outs on battery level of the on-board motor battery?
Andrew, I believe that the throttle hold is for the nitro flyers who would use that to set their idle speed. Great video on programming. I suspect it applies to almost every newer radio. My older Spectrum 7Ch is impossible to program even after watching videos and downloading the manual. Any good videos going in to depth on Expo and dual rates? Folks love to tell us what they are set at but not why.
Thanks again for doing great, informative videos!
Thanks Tom, I'll add expo and rates to the video list. It's a good idea.
Thanks so much for the clear and detailed explanations. I couldn't figure out the dual rates and you explained it very well. Thanks again!
Glad to hear it Charles

how do i change the handset so i can use both left and right controls for two motors on a boat?
I need reverse and forward for both controls to turn sharply.
great instructions.
i bought one from new but its preset for a plane.
many thanks

Cant help you with that. Depends on your boat electronics. Might have to ask on a boat forum
Thanks Andrew! I just got my first plane a couple days ago (Micro Skyhunter) and got the Flysky i6x radio as well so this is a big help. :)
Nice choices. Good luck Matt
Thanks! In a few days it will be 35, which is warm because it has been 8F outside, I will maiden then!
Well I got my new batteries today and now I'm looking forward to flying my plane next chance I get will let you know how it goes with the settings you gave as a guide line
Good luck, which plane is it?
brilliant vids m8! there are people who know everything about a subject and couldn't teach it to save their life, and there are people who know everything about a subject and are just spot on in the way they can pass that information on to others - you (of course) are one of the latterI'm also getting back into RC after years of just buying beautiful aircraft when they come on special - I have 8 very nice aircraft that will now be finished, with my new i6 (and your help) I will be back in the air as early as today...btw I live on 34 acres here in S E Qld and I fly a 1:1 Drifter ultralight aircraft - I'm really living the dream here m8 because I built a 200 metre grass airstrip for the Drifter a 5 minute walk from the house - RC heaven m8.....
RC and ultralight heaven alright, nice weather too I bet. Thanks for your feedback, I do try to simplify the explanations as much as possible.
Andrew I was hoping that you would recommend how I attach the front of the rudder to the fuselage in a little more detail than just using a screw if you would please I would appreciate it
I have used a little plastic hinge, with one side glued into a slot in the rudder foam and the other side screwed to the fuselage with 2 little servo screws. No need for backing, it would be impossible to get it into place anyway.
Thanks I'm finding that out lol.i have taken the motor apart in my evolution and had it put the c clip back on the shaft to fix it but I think I'll end up replacing the motor on this one. But other than that I had a great flight and I thought a good landing, I was wrong LOL..in your Phoenix did you have to add weigh to the front to get the C.G CORRECT. on your plane and for that plane what is a good angle for this plane I have it about a 5%down grade from level
I usually find the Phoenix CG can be a little further back from the factory marks.
Thank you very much Andrew. It's very useful.
Sweet
I had a lot of fun using that radio as a controller, via SmartPropPlus (SPP) with the free flight sim PicaSim. A DIN plug is wired to a 3.5mm audio jack (pin 1 of the DIn to the tip of the jack, and sleeve to sleeve to connect ground) plugged to line-in. The Flysky works in PPM (Walkera) mode within SPP transmitter settings.
Run SPP before starting Picasim. In the Joystick settings map the sticks and you've got a cheap flight simulator.
Excellent information Mike, thanks
Thanks for answering me to set the rudder how do I set it up to work on switch b. To keep it in a going in a slow circle I don't know how to do it
Look for the flaperon video on my channel, and just change aileron channel for rudder channel. But the plane will not fly a slow circle by itself, still have to control it.
Time warp. ha ha you know setting up my little zohd mini, as I call it, using my flysky transmitter, which I am learning about again, geez, got it all working except throttle cut and a switch for the throttle on and off etc .. this video really helped!! Hey only took half a day to relearn all this stuff.. so what else is new when yur old. lol Watch for a little video soon with the little tiny zohd..

Thank you for keeping this video up. I would have really struggled without it it.
Glad I made the video. It has been very popular
It's very usefull!!.. Thanks!... I'have a doubt.. I need a rx-tx set with gyroscope (Self-stabilicing) for my plane. To toggle between Expert and novice mode. I'don't know... this feature is on the TX or the receiver? It's configurable in this TX? ....
You would need a gyro receiver. For the Flysky there is this www.phaserfpv.com.au/products/flyskyfs-bs6receiverwithgyrostabilizationsystemforgt2eit4sgt5transmitter
@@AndrewNewton That's really only suitable for RC Cars - to counter steering drift. For planes there isn't much available in Flysky as an integrated receiver stabilizer. Plenty of add-ons though - Kopilot, Hobby Eagle, SN Sparrow etc.
very understandable..finally sunk into my thick head..could youplease explain how to set up vtail and ailerons..thanks very much
I'll have a play and see if I can
It's easy, there is a VTail option in the model setup menu. Plug the ailerons in to ch1 and tail servos in to ch2 and ch4. May need to reverse one or both of them depending on your servos.
Thanks is very much..it's the EPP mini eagle with added ailerons..love your channel
Hi M. Newton, I was wondering if I can use my fs-i6x on two different rc plane using two receivers and two kopilots, I would like to be able just to chose the model on the transmitter without having to transfert my receiver and pair the setting for the kopilot chosing the type of rc plane I use. Thank you again for your good advise, have a nice day.
Yes, you can have a different receiver for all of the 20 different model memories.

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?
Not possible with this radio
how do u connect servo to aux channels. plz give the steps to do it
Plug the servo into which ever Aux channel you want to use, 5 or 6. In the Functions setup go to Aux channels, change source to whatever you want to control the servo with
Hi Andrew, i´m saddle up a Piper Cub. Your great video is just what i needed! Thanks!!!
Yee Haw!
Hi Andrew very helpful video. I have a problem with safety fiture all switches have to be up including the throttle, why?
Safety feature on most radios. But the throttle cut function is the wrong way around. Thats why I use the method in this video
I do exactly what you do to set up the safety feature, but when I turn the transmitter on it says: lower throttle and all switches up. But the throttle also have to up. It is driving me creacy. If I do not set it up to the top position the transmitter will not work
After I launch it. Thinking it's at full power. As I'm trying to gain altitude. It seems to take a role. To the left and nose dive into the ground. Because it has no power when I put Full Throttle I get full power for in the beginning 10 seconds 15 seconds, and then it's dropped down to like maybe 1/4 power. Not knowing that. Every time I try to go up it would roll and come straight down into the ground.
Thanks I'm setting up a warbird and it has flaps
When you set up your landing flaps how did you prevent the servo travel trying to push them above the height of the wing? By changing the endpoints?
Shorten the push rods
Can't believe I didn't bother watching this until now, I would have learned a lot.
Really? I thought you were the master of the i6
No, when I got my first i6 it was still a year before I started flying planes, so I had little reason to look at any of that stuff - for quads it's all done in the flight controller.
I noticed that you have the alorons and rudder working together but when you make a right turn using the alorons the rudder also moves right which gives it downwards direction shouldn't the rudder be on a right turn be moving to the left to give it a upward direction or do I have it backwards
You have it backwards
Thank for the video. i am facing a problem with my FS i6x elevator stick. When i push the elevator stick up for little value like 20 to 25% servo didn't rotate but when i push the stick further more to 100% the servo moves to its end point. And when i push the stick down it works fine. In down position my servo gives me little pitch varience according to my stick. But in upward push i only get full pitch or zero pitch. What can be the issue.
Thanks in advance
That is strange. Sorry I don't know what would cause that.
@@AndrewNewton i have made a video of it. If you like to see it may be you will get better understanding of my problem.
@@AndrewNewton th-cam.com/video/v8jl94m68Oc/w-d-xo.html
Andrew I'm having a problem with the controllers with my family i6 transmitter for me it's to sensitive when I go to use the ailerons I inadvertently will add or decrease the elevator. And I remember in one of your videos you explain how to set that so it's not quite as sensitive so when I go to use a torons I won't be moving the elevator in other words I'll have to move the stick further before it controls the function so if you could tell me which video that you demonstrated this in I would greatly appreciate it so I can re watch it and adjust the settings accordingly. thank you Jeff b.in Seattle.
Are you think of Expo? This video show how
Hi Andrew. Is it possible to set up a throttle cut function for a glow engine, so that the engine will idle when the stick is at its lowest setting, but will stop when the "cut" switch is activated ? If so, could you explain how to do this please ?
Yes I think it would be possible, best to ask someone who uses this radio with nitro
Andrew Newton OK. Thanks very much.
Thaks for the reply Andrew, this is what happen: I turn on the transmitter and tells me to set up all switches to the up position and the throttle to down position, however if I do not set the throttle to the up position it keeps beeping. Till I do
Is your throttle channel Ch3 reversed ?
Thanks for this great step up in understanding possibilities and their programming.
Fly on!
Hi Andrew,just bought this TX,.. a question,,do you have to set-up the kill switch on all models or do you set it up ONCE and the TX remembers it all the time,, ?.. thanks for a great tutorial ,,,
Each model unfortunately.

I have a Turnigy TGY-i6 (for model yacht racing) which I believe is the same as your Skyfly demo. model.
The sails control lines (operated via a winch) are on channel 3. A friend can use switch to make small in/out adjustments to the which (on left hand stick). Can you please advise me how this is set up.
Also, is it possible to have the left hand stick "notchy" rather than the smooth feel?
Thank you, Alan
Yes same transmitter. Don't know about the notchy feel or the right stick fine winch control sorry.
Love the video, I bought the Flysky i6s for my plane and I was wondering how you can program a servo to stop at say 20 degrees and return to home. Thanks
Just reduce the weight for that channel to about 50% Is that what you mean?
Andrew Newton I tried that but it didn’t work, could it be the servos? I’m using mg996r.
Could it be the transmitter? If I got the Flysky i6 and replaced the Flysky i6s would it fix it?
Is there a way to make flaps go slower and also how do You lower the rates of the flaps because they travel too much for the plane thank you!
See Pierre's solution. Or maybe ask Allen at NoobieRC
Do you have a link or is it on youtube ?
Allen Moore NoobieRC on youtube
Hi Andrew, I've got a rc truck using this remote I'm using switch C for the 3 speed transmission witch works great. Is there a way to make switch A,B,D into on/of switches for lights or similar? Thanks in advance. Great vid.
Yes, but if you plug lights into the reciever they will be getting 5V continuously unless they have the cuircuitry to understand the signal sent by the transmitter. Servos have that circuitry built in
Hey Andrew, next time your doing a project that is relevant to flapperons could you maybe make a video discussing all the wiring and transmitter set up for that?
Have you seen this one th-cam.com/video/nct8mG7bykg/w-d-xo.html
no I haven't I will check it out thanks mate
Hi Andrew. Can you tell me how to change the flap travel value for each position on the 3 position switch. Thanks
Have a look at my i6 Flaperon video. That might help, not sure myself at this stage.
Had the same question. Look at Andrew’s flaperon vidéo as he says, at 4’30.
The key is to assign an “empty” channel to Switch C, then create a mix between that empty channel and the “real” channel on which the servos are assigned. Then you will be able to decide on the amount of travel you want for each position.
how clear are the speakers for the on-board voice telemetry power warnings? thanks for the video!
No speaker or on board voice
Thank you sir for such a great and informative video.
I have flight mode on my trainer . Reflex V2. Usually works on a 3 way switch so
Gyro off. Intermediate, and beginner. It will work on a 2 way switch but eliminates the off position. I am wondering what switch is best used for this since my 3 way is used for flaps , A is throttle cut The other right side 2 way is dual rate and expo.
Would 2 way switch B or one of the var dials be better for gyro. I am old as dirt, and just getting going again since the days of crystals and slightly confused by the new technology.
Please help if you can.
Thanks
Robert
3 way switch would be best to give you all modes but the pot would be OK too
@AndrewNewton thank you Andrew. I honestly hadn't considered that.
Cheers

Hi Andrew, Yes I have plugged in the auxiliary cable ( that's the only other cable I seem to have ). What do you mean by setting up a switch? I'm very new to all this so I'm a bit ignorant.
Regards, Turlough Kennedy.
Do you have 2 servo style cables coming from the ESC? The main speed controller cable to the throttle channel on your receiver and the reversing cable goes to a spare channel (5 or 6). Then you have to assign a switch to that channel in the radio setup. Watch the video, it shows how to setup Aux channel switches.
Came here looking for the throttle kill right way round set-up. Thanks!
More logical for use this way. But it's not obvious how to set it up.
@@AndrewNewton Oh I always overlook the obvious anyway! 😜
Is there a chance to use channel 5 for the tail elevator so I can use elevon on the normal wing
Elevons are just flaperons/spoilerons using the elevator stick as the source (also called snap flaps), so I think you can leave the elevator on 2 and plug one of the ailerons into 5 then do the flaperon mixing.
That is a smart setup, will copy some of your ideas . . . I implemented safety switch with throttle hold and had a and d switches switched. Also had flaperons on potentiometer. Will add some of rudder compensation if needed. Thanks!
I need to work out flaperons
Andrew hi - having just purchased a FlySky FS i6 (for model sailing), enjoy watching your instruction videos. Have swapped the stick mechanisms over to configure to Mode 2 i.e. throttle left and have successfully configured end points for Winch (channel 3 - throttle) and steering (channel 4 - rudder). However having trouble getting trim control switches on radio body to respond other than the throttle. Is there something I have configured incorrectly?
Can you see any change in the channels graphs on the Display page when you operate the trims?
@@AndrewNewton Hi Andrew - apologies, just returned from a business trip interstate. Yes channel graphs 1 - 4 all respond to trim switch input.

Thank you for the info.i watched several of your videos and I've learned alot I enjoy flying but I really enjoy building planes .I don't think one screw by itself will be enough so I think I'll try some balsa wood, along the front sides shaped to the fuselage and cut to reduce the drag kind of like a corner brace... watching your flight of this plane you made it look like it's pretty stable and I don't mind sharing info with others from what I've learned .but I tell everyone about you and your how to videos and you show step by step instructions.the amount of time and effort you put into the them is unbelievable... thank you so much Jeff b.

What glue did you use for the motor mount and and what did you use to mount the motor like screws.what type thank yo7
Either epoxy or hot glue. Screws are just big servo screws, nothing special
Do you know how to update the firmware to 10 channels with rssi and where ALL settings change from 6 channels to 10 channels" Ex: For fail safe instead of only being able to set 6 channels for a fail safe, now you can set any of the 10?

Can only be firmware updated via Windows PCs. I have Mac so I haven't tried.

Nice vid, is there anyway to change the total movment for the servo? I have this problem, when I set up the flaperons one servo moves more than the other, aparently it has a bigger range of movment than the other, is there anyway to fix this? tnak you
Yes. Servo End Points
this is because the servos aren´t not the same ? why this happend? thanks
Just variation in manufacturing. It happens often.
Just change both servos and same thing happens, the left servo has more movment range, I think it could be something relatit to the mix for flaperons....but Im not sure wish is the issue

There is one issue I am facing with this transmitter........ I am in the process of building a RC excavator and will be using the sticks to operate the bucket, arm and the rotating cab. That only leaves me with the VRA and VRB channels to drive each independent drive wheel (for the tracks)....... My question is... Is there a way to program the transmitter so that i could throw a switch and operate the tracks on the sticks too (like a mode A & B... disable the original commands and switch to "track mode", then switch back to "dig mode" without changing model)? I have seen a video where a Spektrum transmitter was set up to do this (though the author never explained how to do this).
Any help would be appreciated, as this is my first step into the RC world!
Unlikely. I don't think it is configurable enough for that.

Great to hear! Hope the hobby entertains you as much as me.
Andrew I hope you can answer my question. I have the FlySky FX I6 transmitter And on the transmitter on the screen there, it shows the power of the batteries in the transmitter below that it shows another bar which shows the power of the receiver on one of my receivers, but my other two receivers don't show that second bar. Only one receiver produces that second bar like the top bar for the power of the batteries in the transmitter my other two don't do that. Why is this?
That's the fsi6x transmitter
Anyway, only one receiver produces that second bar. Aside from the numbers which shows on all batteries only one receiver shows that second bar the other two receivers, which are also FlySky receivers same as the first one they don't produce that second bar.
To show the Rx voltage the receiver must be properly bound to the radio and set to AFHDS-2A protocol (not just AFHDS)

@@theitalianjob6302 Perfect. You should be right with a 10 ch receiver.
I wanted to ask you if I have a brushed motor with my fs i6x radio and in the throttle mode it says 25% 50% ect.and I don't use a esc will it go at full speed or at increment of 25 50 75 100 moving the throttle without the esc or will it go all or nothing
Still need an ESC to give variable voltage, receiver only provides the signal for the ESC
Thanks
I would like to inquire if the flysky i6 is capable of binding 2 receivers at the same time..thanks
With AFHDS receivers (not AFHDS-2A receivers) it might be possible
