Flysky FS-I6 antena mod

[@maceliusfpv370]

Turned out great. Honestly my biggest surprise was to see they bothered to put two antennae in.

[@Adrian202]

And I made a hobby radio :D

[@KaizerTest]

I know eh? That kinda threw me too. Decent radio for the money.

[@traviscozza7177]

Thank you for this vid, i did this mod to my remote before even using it once. Getting into fpv and trying to go long range.

[@shatterpointgames]

What's nice about this is you can easily attach an amplifier to it as well

[@Adrian202]

So far no need for that but yes, you can :)

[@KaizerTest]

I put an amplifier on my land radio for RC speed runs and the distance is massive now.

[@vitotonello261]

@@KaizerTest What type of amp did you used?

Thanks best antenna mod for the flysky I have seen. I just ordered a set.

[@Adrian202]

THX, I change antennas in most toys I have :D

[@OswaldBeef]

What kind of extended range did you receive?

[@jamesceastep8874]

Thanks! This was a very carefully documented and tidy mod, that I'm sure works very good, giving you more control of antenna orientation. I'm wondering if you have considered or tried to use 2.4ghz circular polarized antennas with this mod, or maybe one dipole 5dbi with one 3-5 dbi cloverleaf antenna. I guess we would need to test with similary circular polarized antenna on aircraft. It is difficult to find 2.4ghz circularly polarized antennas, but I sure would like to see the results of this test. What about using a helical or yagi antenna connected to one of your SMA adapters for very long range applications? I am ordering new long 5dbi dipole antennas to do this mode on my FS-i6x Tx too. Good job! - Jim

[@Adrian202]

If You have connector than You can test some antennas like directional, but that would limit it to one direction

[@Top-Jimmy]

Is your nickname Mumbles? 😂 Nice work Adrian! 🙂

[@gauravluckyrauthan4]

nice work ❤..after adding two antennas, how long distance will it catch signal from receiver??

[@Adrian202]

@@gauravluckyrauthan4 it's not that easy to say, will depend on that antena, receiver antena, antennas orientation where You use it. Could be 100m or 500m, who knows

[@RyanStonedonCanadianGaming]

@@myname2263 Please explain...

[@kadyo_diy]

You can use a 2.4ghz amplifier and use only 1 antenna please try it bro

[@Adrian202]

Yes, until You keep it in the same position, for drones 2 antennas are better because if drone change orientation than second antenna take over. Also, not always it's legal to use amplifiers.

[@kadyo_diy]

Ok bro thabks

[@hondahonda5110]

It same i6x.?

[@Adrian202]

I6x got 10 channels and I6 got 6 channels, they also say that I6x got new firmware compare to I6

[@iacoporomagnoli5455]

Great job! How much longer did you go with these?

[@Adrian202]

I don't fly for long distance but so far GPS reported 110m but that ware not a range test :)

[@tm_fpv]

@@Adrian202 i made 200m with this mod

[@tm_fpv]

I made 200m too with a nazgul5

[@gustavoalbuquerque3694]

this control can make close to 2km original...

[@rolisaenz]

Thing is that you can only use one antenna at the time, if you go to the FACTORY menu, you will be able to select LEFT or RIGHT antenna, but not both.

[@Adrian202]

Yes but remote is switching if one antena don't have good signal it will switch to second one in another orientation :)

[@rolisaenz]

@@Adrian202 That is ok for Diversity Receivers, but in this case you are transmitting with the Radio, what you can do is to install a patch antenna on one output and the regular omni on the other, that way you can switch from the menus. what antenna you want to use

[@philldownes8685]

both the normal antennas work at the same time, so I do not see why this mod will work any different..

[@phantomgamer4439]

is this good for penetration or for range?? cuz i did this mod and tested in my fsi6s the penetration was better in the stock antenns

[@Adrian202]

Sadly, that will depend on how good antennas are and how they are aligned with the model receiver. With drones, it's hard because they move so specifically angled antenna will not work.

How is the range now? How many meters

[@Adrian202]

I did not test how far I can go but when I let My friend fly My Predator electric glider and wind took it away on about 500m I still been able to control it and turn it back :)

[@closed2459]

What do the plastic arms on outside have in them an the large end piece of what you removed was called the load an the radio is tuned for them 2 loads by u replaceing them with out retuneing the radio for your new antennas youll harm your radio an your items it runs

[@Adrian202]

Actual I just changed angle of antennas because inside are the almost the same antennas but I can change angle :) I did this mod on cheap toy with a very cheap remote that in stock have 30m max and upgraded it to 70m and more :D I did not check full range of that upgraded toy but it's a huge difference !!

[@dawidkaczmarek4047]

Hi, what kind of antenne dbi ? Lenght and how long are those cable connection ? Please ;)

[@Adrian202]

I ordered these antennas: www.banggood.com/2_4GHz-6dBi-50ohm-Wireless-Wifi-Omni-Copper-Dipole-Antenna-SMA-To-IPEX-For-Monitoring-Router-195mm-p-1193324.html?p=5G2717320323201310AJ&Adrian& I think You can find cheaper ones on Aliexpress You can use any antenna from 2.4GHz WIFI Cable You can cut, shorter cables better but keep some spare in case of some future disassembly or modifications (shorter than 1 meter :D )

[@kliyond5982]

how to upgrade its range? Would you please tell me?

[@Adrian202]

You can change antennas like I did and that will allow You to set a better angle. There are also directional antennas, but you will not be able to fly around You. The Last option is signal booster or extenders, but I think that's expensive

[@agusadityarc2887]

what do you use to make holes in the remote body?

[@Adrian202]

I start with normal drill and that try if this one will be in same size: www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?catId=0&initiative_id=SB_20220517044443&origin=y&SearchText=step+drill&spm=a2g0o.detail.1000002.0

[@aussieaeromodeler]

@@satiaxsanti1 ok I was kidding about the shed ........placement of the antennas on the model has a lot to do with range , make sure the antennas on the receiver are 90 degrees to each other for a start , and keep them away from any other wiring in the model , especially the motor and ESC

[@rahulgnair4695]

Hey, I'm assuming that you used the same 6dbi antenna on both the sma ports. Wouldn't it be better to have one 6dbi (or higher) and the other one 3dbi ( or lower)?

[@Adrian202]

As far as I understand transmitter switch antennas when lose signal on one of theme. Mounting on antena weaker will force using that bigger so that will also work but not as good. Depending on model and how antena on receiver is set it's good to not set both antennas in same orientation because always one antena will have connection if model will rotate :)

I solder to signal and ground both connectors and it's working great but I did not test it before but this mod allow Me to adjust antena direction and that is the main reason and I also can put direction antennas now. Some radios may have good antenas already so no need for this mod there
