[@swapshots4427]

I am so grateful and thrilled to have found you. I wrote a nasty letter to Banggood a 1/2 hour ago. Still having rough time but you helped immensely.

[@lasersbee]

8:50.. Chris... I just modified my FS-i6X to output about a 3 times louder Beeper sound. It is a simple matter of drilling an appropriately sized hole in the rear case cover directly over the Beeper and inserting an 8mm diameter silicone hose deep enough to touch the Beeper. leave about 1/16" of tubing protruding out of the case. You can glue it to the case or as I did make the hole smaller than 8mm for a press fit. This produces a sound pipe. It is as loud as placing the Beeper outside the Xmitter case. BTW... A full wavelength of 2.4GHZ is 12.5 cm. A 1/2 wavelength is 6.25 cm A 1/4 wavelength is 3.125 cm

lol good idea !

[@fredwilson4601]

I would like to thank you for this video. It's really good. Your comments are clear and well understood. Your not talking to fast like others, who speak like their racing, trying to get thru their video, not taking into consideration that for a lot of us noobs it gets a little confusing. Thanks!

[@jamesceastep8874]

iforce2D: This was an absolutely incredible, clear, detailed, and very inciteful review that covered many more important details that we are likely to overlook without your tutelage. Many thanks for your continued outstanding contribution to our hobby! - Jim

[@Lumpitify]

the stickers are useful if you want to remove one or both of the switches , they are use to cover the hole

[@iforce2d]

I suppose so - but why would you want to remove a switch?

[@Frogzy]

Great in-depth review of the new Flysky transmitter

[@pcka12]

I own a couple of these radio controls & have just found your video, very useful.

[@BarefootBeekeeper]

The cable works fine in Windows for doing the firmware update, but you may need to install a driver. On W7 I had to install SDA Standard Compliant SD Host Controller.

[@muhammadqaisarali]

At 4:31 stickers are of 3 types, because if you want to remove all switches or some of switches then you can place the new stickers to cover those holes...

[@nitro2037]

THANK YOU SO MUCH...i have been pulling my hair out for a week trying to get banggood to understand me about this.i could not figure out how to turn on the aux switches..so i opened it up and put vra&b to swa&c..lol.. different then the regular fsi6. i noticed also that only sticks have to be at zero for the controller turn on..finally i can use this thing!

[@aniketsingh5516]

Can you please tell me which one i should buy as a beginner.

[@MissingNumb]

I'd reckon the uncut decals are for custom knobs/switches. Flysky knows their market, the budget DIY scene! Where the real innovations happen, lol!

[@FPVPortugalTV]

Same for the A8S receiver, the antena is 24mm when the optimal lenght is 33mm for 2.4Ghz, please make a range test to check how much more rance we can get replacing the antenas.

[@paulradford4100]

Thanks for this video.. now the switches are working for me.. Great stuff.. Thanks also for explaining the battery sensor - that's well helpful. I just inserted the batteries, plugged the USB in the back, connected to the windows 10 laptop and switched on. Windows found the device and recognised it as a controller. I did download rcAir sim from steam and it does work, but the axis is messed up and I'm having the hardest time getting it to configure. I probably need to spend some cash for some better simulation. Just thought I'd mention..

[@TheAlexpelayo69]

Thank you for this video. I purchased a X220 wizard/Flysky combo and I couldn't get the motors to turn on. After watching your video on assigning the channels, it makes sense that the switches to arm the motors weren't working as the channels were off by default. Unfortunately, I reset the Tx to factory default, which wiped out the bind, so now I'm waiting for a bind cable to start over. :)

[@iforce2d]

A bind cable is essentially just a plain piece of wire. If you can connect the bind pin to ground with any conducting material (I have used tweezers sometimes) while turning the receiver on it will enter bind mode.

[@lasersbee]

Thanks for the 1st look. Was curious about the remote battery indicator and RSSI.

[@mattivirta]

i6 and i6X have all same transmitter, both can upgrade software to 10 channel transmitter and use both receiver both transmitter, no problems. and both can use 10 ch receiver too.

[@thomasmore260]

I just discovered today my FS-IA6B does 10 channels flawless on the I--BUS, despite the datasheet says it has only six channels. I am using it as wireless joystick on linux. (Someone made a linux driver to support I-BUS connected to a USB-serial converter as a joystick.)

[@SickocrowAU]

Since the ia6C has disappeared this is the unit to go to.

[@lachlangreen8389]

And P.S, if you haven't already figured it out, the RX do S.Bus because it's just inverted i.bus. I think they omit the mention because s.bus may be a registered trademark of another brand. So to avoid issues they may have the feature there but not mention it on their manual or website ;) I have flysky ia6b and x6b and was pleasantly surprised to be able to use both the rx on my omphobby m2 v2 helicopter which only has futaba s.bus input.

[@lachlangreen8389]

P.S. The cable works great with the PC, I use it on many flight sims. You have to install the correct driver for the cable first.

[@iforce2d]

Sbus may be inverted UART, but it's not just inverted iBus. iBus has a very different packet format and includes error checking bytes, imo a superior format. So the firmware on the receiver needs to know how to produce both formats. The early ia6b receivers with older firmware don't support it, but you can update the firmware: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJO9qmaXnJJrpbc

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

A bit of extra information curtesy of "kibatiusagi" - that Futaba S-bus satellite receiver and input socket is also used on the Eachine E119 heli and he has shown that the S-bus wire can be fed with a PPM signal as well. It possibly will also work for the Omphobby heli and the S/T720 planes.

[@SteveWinnard]

Strangely enough there are two different cables to do the two different jobs - the gaming cable and the update cable. It's disappointing about the mounting hole sizes, very much close but no cigar. I have two of these coming so will have to put some thought into revising my intended mounting method.

[@GoFlyYourselves]

the stickers are for covering the holes if you decide to remove switches..

[@aniketsingh5516]

But why I'd remove switches

[@GoFlyYourselves]

@@aniketsingh5516 RIght? The more the better, I say! You can never have enough switches!

[@GoFlyYourselves]

@@aniketsingh5516 I don't know why anybody would. I guess if you broke one and didn't want to replace it, you could put the sticker to cover the hole. I broke one on my Taranis X9D when I accidentally dropped my radio and chose to replace it cuz I couldn't see myself not having that switch. So, yeah it's a good question. Why?

[@billysallerlei]

Haven't taken this model seriously, I bought an i6X a few weeks ago. Because someone has ported the openTX to this radio. So we have an quite flexible openTX low cost radio

[@samholdsworth420]

You like flying with relics?

[@Irigoyen4]

Yes! The alarm is not loud enough, which is problematic when the radio battery is low, and one can’t hear the alarm (it’s happened to me). Fortunately, fail-safe seems to be reliable on these radios:)

[@johnedwards5184]

I had a very bad experience with Bangood.I purchased a Flysky FS 16 from them,the TX refused to stay switched on.I complained and they agreed to send me a replacement providing I dropped the complaint with Paypal.As soon as I had done this they decided they were unable to send me the replacement.I have written to them a number of times ,they apologise profusely but do nothing. Since I had also bought 3 receivers from them I then had to buy another TX from a shop in UK in case I had problems with this one.

[@jameslamb4573]

Would like to see a range test. Perhaps Banggood, GearBest or HK, or whoever, will send you a plane to test it out on!

[@iforce2d]

I'm thinking to set up a miniquad with RTH failsafe to test this. Less damage if it crashes, and it will get out to distance quicker than the big quad.

[@bobholsberger1121]

Great idea. I would like to see it operate a wheeled vehicle.

[@andreasm.4724]

Hello, I have a GOOLRC GC6 what's nothing but a labeled FS-i6 and ther stock firmware had the S.BUS option, I flashed it with an unofficial 10ch firmware and it also has the S.Bus inside. Another benefit of that moddified fiermware is that the 10V limit of the voltsgae reading is gone, a flight timer is present and you can assign also switch combinations for the AUX channels. I've also had a look inside my i6 and it seems that there is one open pin on the left side of the pcb for a second 3 position switch. More I really do not need from this cheapy, nice for small models and if I need more moxers, flightmodes or whatever I use my Taranis, that has a multiprotocol module in it's slot that can also work with AFHDS and AFHDS 2A for the use this little of cheap as chips FS receivers . ;)

[@rastkomiocinovic]

So the tx is just the i6 with the firmware mod. But the receiver looks great, they've done the voltage mod for you!

[@peterwoo2489]

Other receivers can do SBUS like the IA6C from hobbyking and A8S from BG. But people say that the SBUS from this transmitter is glitchy...

[@marc_frank]

You can have SwA+SwB as an combined switch. That way you can have all switches enabled but still only 6 channels. At least its like that in the upgraded firmware for the fsi6, but there its 10ch by default.

[@williamna5800]

a quick note on the antenna connections, I think most of those small connectors (IPX/IPEX/uFL etc etc) have a limited number of connections they are rated for (15 or so ?) Sorry if you mentioned this in the video and I missed it.

[@Amateooo]

Great video, I hope your next one will be testing the range :) new receiver + stock antennas vs. new receiver + longer antennas vs. old receiver. I think the antennas with longer active part will have worse range.

[@andreasm.4724]

Ok, for people who are using FCs for everything it doesn't matter cause the mixes are inside the FC, stored and activated with the flightmodes, but for flying planes by myself it would be interesting to know if the i6x has more mixes or other useful things. My small park jets do need more than three mixes with elecons, flaperons, spoilerons, etc... When I see the manual it's almost a copy of the i6 manual, so there is nothing new.

[@iforce2d]

Yeah, I don't see any new mixes.

[@andreasm.4724]

That's a bad news whenever expected, it has e rteason that you can't read anything about the number of mixes in product descriptions, any other 6 channel computer radio has more. So let's hope that the good guys who implanted most of the i6X into the old i6 will use the bigger flash mem of the STM32 to realize more mixes to make the radio more useful. Meanwhile I will use my Taranis plus with it's advanced options for AFHDS 2A where I need more than 3 mixes or elevons. Btw. when the specs are right, the i6X has quad times stick resolution of the i6, so the sticks should work a little smoother. However, I don't regret that I've bought this little i6 in addition to my Taranis, I've got it for round about 30.-€ or 35.-bucks with iA6 and a nice transmitter bag and both radios have S-BUS and are working with the bunch of FS RXs, that I've left over from my first radio ever, a FS-T6 and yepp, one of the reasons I've bought the Taranis and sold the T6 was the lousy number of mixes. The i6 has telemetry, better range, TX and RXs are cheap like chips and with S-Bus mixes can be done inside most FCs, so why not use it for some models. ;)

[@rahulgnair4695]

Hey, can the fs i6 be setup to provide ibus outputs to flight controllers?

[@iforce2d]

Yes. ibus output is a feature of the receiver, not the transmitter.

[@rahulgnair4695]

iforce2d Would you have any particular reciever in mind for a 250 quad build with ibus, and failsafe? ( rssi?) (x6b or fli14+?)

[@iforce2d]

I usually use ia6b, but it is a little large. You might prefer the x6b if you want to save space. Other receivers I have very little experience with.

[@joelzwerk4162]

Hello there. Thanks for the great video. I know I'm very late to this game having had the i6 for the second year now. It's been a flawless transmitter and receiver set up. Anyway, I have a question if you get to it, and if not I understand. You mentioned that the Bind button is NOT a range test button. Maybe I missed it, but how does one range test this radio before you go and fly the plane? Perhaps its not entirely neccesary to range test befor flying but I'd feel much better if I could do that. Thanks for getting back on the question, and again, thanks for the great video.

[@iforce2d]

I don't think these radios have a range test function. In all the years I've flown RC I've never done any range tests, at least pre-flight with reduced power, obviously I have done plenty of actual range tests :)

[@robertbrander2074]

Excellent In-Depth Video on the FlySky radio and receivers ! ..... Just wondering how you got that 4 cell battery to have different voltage plugs ? ... Did you wire it yourself ? ... Its a great idea for a test bench ... 3.7 , 7.4 , 11.1 , 14.8 and 5 Volts all from one battery .... Cheers !

[@RobisonRacing68]

Chris, is this the receiver you used on that long Mini Talon flight you did? (I have one of these TXs which came with the RTF Eachine Wizard) I kind of like the radio and thought I might use it on some wings too instead of my Spektrum just to play with something different.

[@iforce2d]

On that long flight I used the ia6b receiver. The x6b I think is the same as far as the radio module goes, but the antennas are not quite as good. They are easily replaceable though which is nice. This might be interesting: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnyulqWHedZkb6s

[@FPVPortugalTV]

Be careful because there are hardware differences between the old i6 and the new i6x, thats why the new one supports sbus... Not only firmware.

[@iforce2d]

Yeah I just opened it up today and took a look. There are a lot more differences than I expected. I don't think it will be possible to flash the i6X firmware onto the i6.

[@FPVPortugalTV]

***** No it will not... i talked to flysky and they said hardware is different, not only a change in firmware.

[@Tabinhu]

You can have 10ch from IBUS on the normal i6. It's a mod available from github, I have it since day 1 on my i6

Noob question.. I dont't understand where do you hook the battery sensor cable on your quad? Do I have to buy extra cables or adapter? Do I have to cut it and solder it on the pdb? And there are 3 wires for the batery sensor on the receiver why u use only the 2 of them?

[@thanhphongphan]

Tooth Pain If you buy a lipo battery for your quad, there will be 2 cables: the Xt60 (or dean maybe) & a cable with many pins on it. You just go ahead and connect the 2nd cable (not the xt60) to the voltage sensing port on the X6B reciever. 3 cables are for 3 different uses, you can use any you want

[@nathanh0423]

If possible, I'd be interested in seeing you experiment with sbus on this radio. Specifically binding FrSky receivers to the FS-i6x. Thanks

[@iforce2d]

??? sbus and radio protocol are different things. The FlySky and FrSky radio protocols are not the same, so binding this radio to a FrSky receiver would never work. But the sbus output coming from this receiver should be valid.

[@gavinboulton6878]

FS-I6x has higher stick resolution than the fs-i6 too. 4096 over the older 1024 Not sure if it makes any difference as the receiver states 1024 resolution? I noticed there was no jitter from the sticks in Betaflight. Which was nice (My fs-i6 has a little jitter after fixing the wiring - real bad +/- 20 before I glued the wires steady)

[@nursyahir1876]

Just the video im looking for

[@far1002]

🤣🤣🤣 the stickers are if your setting it up for a specific model and labeling you channel functions . You unplug the switch after you take the back of the radio off. You have to unplug the trainer port and battery connections. Rest is self explanatory

[@owenkilleen]

So, after buying a load of standard props about a year and a half ago,for dji style locknut design motors(i was a noob lol) recently i sent off to banggood for what was titled as locknut design props. I got the same generic props again instead, so basically they're not able to go all the way down the motor shaft. Last night i used a dremel rotary tool to shave away the inside of one of these generic props, and it does go all the way down, and the cone nut does seem to go further down and even because of the composition of these plastic 'other' props, it seems to 'squeeze' a little more gradually on, tightening the prop gradually. Do you think this could be a problem? Shaving away the inside first half of the prop. It still has a lot to hold onto the motor shaft Sorry this has nothing to do with the content of this vid, but i follow you on here, and this was your latest vid. :)

Hi buddy i brought this item and building a 3d printed plain have a question what else i need to hook up my batter and motor to the FS-X6B as well as all my servos only got the receiver manual in the kit

[@iforce2d]

The receiver connects to an ESC, not a motor. This receiver is not very convenient for connecting servos. Sounds like some of these videos might be useful: kzbin.info/aero/PLzidsatoEzejIpdla6_ggPcDCPJ9u4WHj

@@iforce2d got an ECS along with my motor. Thinking how to control the servos so many different flight controllers as the X6B is a transmitter

Good review I found the cable useless too when I tried to update firmware on i6 it just wouldn't connect

[@lachlangreen8389]

you need to install a driver first

[@lachlangreen8389]

silabs USB to UART driver. then the cable that comes with the transmitter will work for flight sims
