FlySky FS i6 programming

[@Mark-wx1ho]

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.

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!

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 .

[@steelydanfan100]

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 !

[@AndrewNewton]

Awesome, thanks for the update. The Hawksky is a very nice motor glider

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*

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.

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.

[@jeffbowers4895]

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

[@AndrewNewton]

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.

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!

[@AndrewNewton]

I need to work out flaperons

[@jeffbowers4895]

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

[@AndrewNewton]

I usually find the Phoenix CG can be a little further back from the factory marks.

[@triestelondon]

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.

[@AndrewNewton]

Excellent information Mike, thanks

You would need a gyro receiver. For the Flysky there is this www.phaserfpv.com.au/products/flyskyfs-bs6receiverwithgyrostabilizationsystemforgt2eit4sgt5transmitter

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

@@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.

[@josefranco8973]

Hi Andrew very helpful video. I have a problem with safety fiture all switches have to be up including the throttle, why?

[@AndrewNewton]

Safety feature on most radios. But the throttle cut function is the wrong way around. Thats why I use the method in this video

[@josefranco8973]

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

[@jeffbowers4895]

Hello again Andrew this is Jeff b in Seattle I'm writing my review of my first flight with an Phoenix evolution plane it has 2 wings 1 is 62" the other is 102" wing..I used the 62" wings. It is the first plane I've had that is all screwed together, the thing I noticed was the rudder does not attach very well in the front.so I used some foam safe glue to keep it in place.i launched it and it took off very well I started gaining some altitude and went to make a left hand turn at about 50 feet high and during the turn about halfway through it took a nosedive I got the throttle before it hit but it still hit pretty hard. I've flown many Balsa planes so I was figuring to have quite a repair job ahead of me I walk to the 50 yards to retrieve it and I could not believe it the only damage to the plane was I cracked the nose cone nothing else nothing..... Now what had happened was I used the foam safe glue because it's foam writer but the plane is made out of plastic PVC type of material in which the glue did not adhere to as well as its I thought it would. So I'm going to score the top of the fuselage and use a different type of glue and I believe that will cure the problem but overall during the flight that I did have the time to say this it handled exceptionally well plenty of power good flight stability and extremely durable if it wasn't for me using the wrong type of glue I believe this would have never happened so overall I rate the plane very high the only problem I found in the plane was the one flaw where I used the wrong type of glue

[@AndrewNewton]

Nothing will glue to the plastic, need to use screws

[@jeffbowers4895]

Andrew Newton thank you again I will take your advice and do that rather than doing it the hard way lol... thank you very much Jeff b in Seattle

[@jeffbowers4895]

After watching your video the one you built with a fiberglass pole for the tail section connections I thought about it and figured out how to use the screws to fix the rudder so I'm going to cut a slot on the underside of the fuselage and screw it in that way .at first I didn't see how it would work screwing it from the top. After watching your video where you built the glider from scratch I realized that through the bottom would be the best way to do it because your answer to me was use screws and I thank you for making me come up with the answer to do it from the bottom side rather than just tell me that I appreciate the challenge. However what I'm thinking is I might use a thin piece of Balsa and then slip it between the rudder stabilizer and the fuselage glued to the stabilizer for a little extra strength....

[@AndrewNewton]

I thought you were asking about adding a hinge to the lower section of the rudder near the control horn.

[@jeffbowers4895]

No I apologize for that no the front of the rotor stabilizer where it attaches to the fuselage is what I was actually referring to but after watching you Bill that plane I figured that would be the best way to secure it unless you have any other thoughts or suggestions that I might consider

[@jeffbowers4895]

It said router I ment front of rudder I used glue it didn't hold .that's why I thought of useing braces along the rudder fin to hold it from moving not the rudder itself .that's why I was going to add a piece of thin Balsa to the bottom of the rudder fin and drill the holes from the bottom side into it that would give me extra stability if doing acrobatics.should I use a piece of hard rubber as a washer inside to keep it from inlarging the hole from the stress???? Or would you recommend another way Jeff B Seattle thank you

Have a look at my i6 Flaperon video. That might help, not sure myself at this stage.

[@yanndesdevises7670]

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.

Andrew, quick one on FS ai6 failsafe, re zohd ko-pilot, do you set channel 5 failsafe to on, so in event of lost signal it goes to RTL

[@AndrewNewton]

Channel 5 has to go to the RTH position in a failsafe event. I'll have to have a deeper look at the FSi6 to work out how.

[@julianhumphrey4843]

@@AndrewNewton Andrew you are a star and your advice on this is greatly appreciated

[@robertchapman7773]

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

[@AndrewNewton]

3 way switch would be best to give you all modes but the pot would be OK too

[@robertchapman7773]

@AndrewNewton thank you Andrew. I honestly hadn't considered that. Cheers Bob

[@magneresjuan]

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

[@AndrewNewton]

Yes. Servo End Points

[@magneresjuan]

this is because the servos aren´t not the same ? why this happend? thanks

[@AndrewNewton]

Just variation in manufacturing. It happens often.

[@magneresjuan]

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

[@magneresjuan]

I have evrething set at 100% and in the middle, servo channel 1 and 6 exactly the same setting..can´t get it why!

[@ruikade251]

this radio is amazing for its price.. thanks for the info!

[@AndrewNewton]

It is a beauty

[@bulltactv4809]

You can use "Throttle hold" to set a safety switch for your throttle, leaving the other switch open for another function...

[@dukejet6997]

great video Andrew. The Flysky i6 is exactly the same as the Turnigy i6. They are a great Tx for the money. I have just started use my second one.

[@AndrewNewton]

Did you wear out your first one?

[@dukejet6997]

No mate! I just filled her up with models and needed a new one for the next 20 lol..... "very addictive, this hobby is"

[@peterzingler6221]

Is there a chance to use channel 5 for the tail elevator so I can use elevon on the normal wing

[@AndrewNewton]

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.

[@lynnkreibig2857]

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?

[@AndrewNewton]

Can you see any change in the channels graphs on the Display page when you operate the trims?

[@lynnkreibig2857]

@@AndrewNewton Hi Andrew - apologies, just returned from a business trip interstate. Yes channel graphs 1 - 4 all respond to trim switch input.

[@lynnkreibig2857]

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

[@jeffbowers4895]

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?

[@jkwilliams.mp4]

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

[@AndrewNewton]

Yes same transmitter. Don't know about the notchy feel or the right stick fine winch control sorry.

[@linuxras]

Thanks Andrew, this helps a lot. Although I use the throttle hold with a value of 0 as safety switch for my fixed wing

[@AndrewNewton]

Thanks Andrew. That is the usual way, but I prefer this way with the switch in the up position.

[@peterfranzen3538]

Thanks Andrew just what I was waiting for I got my FS i6 so this video will help a lot , hoping for more videos on how to make best use of this radio, waiting on my battery and motor still need to get props and power supply for my charger. I'll get there eventually lol.

[@AndrewNewton]

Exciting times Peter

[@peterfranzen3538]

yes can't wait but I have to as an injured worker I can only spenda few bucks a week but I'm getting there.

[@drone_photography42]

Well after a year whay happenned?

[@jeffbowers4895]

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.

[@AndrewNewton]

Just for motorless slopers made from the V1 Phoenix

[@jeffbowers4895]

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...

[@grahambunting8867]

Great videos Andrew... You are helping me to get to grips with my new toy... :-) Thanks very much.

[@AndrewNewton]

Great to hear!

[@josefranco8973]

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

[@AndrewNewton]

Is your throttle channel Ch3 reversed ?

[@tmc3p1]

Thanks for the video. It helps me a lot! One question. Is there any way you can assign a mix to a switch? so that you can turn the mix off in the air if you don't like it.

[@AndrewNewton]

Not with this radio unfortunately

[@itch4travel]

How do you mix the throttle (master) with the elevator (slave)? I want to have a little down elevator when I reduce the throttle. For example, when going straight down, the plane would pitch up.

[@AndrewNewton]

Ask my buddy Allen Moore, he is an FS-i6 expert and very helpful kzbin.info/door/xp23yC005hanSysA4vodQA

[@biloute2985]

I didn't Know how to set the kill Switch on my eachine i6.thank you very much.i was Always have my thumb on the throttle,!!! My childrens like to bring back my plane After Landing!!! Or crash🤪 It's more safe now !! Big merci from Brittany !

Wonderful. Happy to contribute to your children's safety.

[@johnmarktamano8834]

Very good Andrew!

[@ytchannel2057]

how do u connect servo to aux channels. plz give the steps to do it

[@AndrewNewton]

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

[@loedse]

Awesome! Best Video about this great Radio. Everything you to need to install your RC-Airplane. Thank you so much for this tutorial!

[@AndrewNewton]

You're very welcome!

[@juliobryan2285]

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

[@AndrewNewton]

Either epoxy or hot glue. Screws are just big servo screws, nothing special

[@jeffbowers4895]

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.
