Getting Started in FPV Racing Drone // List of What to Buy Transmitters & Goggles // Flysky & FrSky

[@ruikade251]

Flysky i6,i6s,i6x even the the iRange i6x. They can all run ibus. They are the best budget tx, only common issue are the gimbals. Ive got the irange i6x oem of flysky i6x flashed it with flysky fimware and it now runs flyplus firmware with rssi osd. I also installed qx7 gimbal on it and it doesnt feel cheap anymore. Its so amazing!.

[@BuzZ.]

The flysky i6 (non X) also has Ibus. And you can upgrade it to 10ch and rssi with $0.50 thing

[@dinholimno]

FlyPlus firmware is awesome!

[@BuzZ.]

Anderson Santos yep, I use Version 1.7.5 of it

[@roh5876]

Both the Flysky I6 and I6x have ibus. The I6 is the best option because of the firmware mods available.

[@mece66]

Ro H i6x has flyplus now too. Check rcgroups

[@jordanbass3210]

I don't know if you heard but you can use any old flight controller as a pass through for your transmitter on your computer. Even if something's damage on it as long as it hooks up to betaflight you can use it 4 simulators and stuff with the fly controller.

[@salvatoremilitello8490]

Latency to my understanding is how fast it records encodes and transmits the data then the goggles receive decodes and displays so there could be some getting used to with a high latency cause u "throttle up" 30miliseconds later u see the effect in goggles but u hear the spin up immediately Please correct me if I am incorrect or needs adding to/refining

[@LeonVuksic]

I've had a FlySky i6 for the first 6 months, after that I started playing with planes, gimbals etc and upgraded to a X9D since the qx7 didnt have enough switches and sliders, so who ever plans on flying only quads, get a qx7 or some of the new "playstation" style controllers because you will only break or bump on accident switches on the x9d :)

[@alex-suarez]

for the flysky x6b rx if you have problems with the antennas popping off, solder it on, it works fine

[@hypurrfpv9483]

Use an 1/8" drill bit to make the holes larger for M3 stacks. A sharp bit will make a clean hole almost immediately without any damage. Spinning an exacto knife is not only dangerous but can damage other things, like the LED as you mentioned.

[@ArchmageAU]

Also Betaflight now has a passthrough option. If your FC can power the RX from the USB (a lot can), you can use the FC as a sim interface without the arduino (if going Flysky option). FrSky (QX7) can link straight through USB. Overall good advice.

[@franzferdinand1]

i would get the FATSHARK Dominator V3 for 240$ Including 3 x Upgrade Antennas, 1 x FatShark Patch Antenna,USB Charger, 1 x 5GB 2 Channel Race Band Receiver or the FatShark HDO for 300$ witout a module... which one should i get? i could also get the skyzone sky02c (i dont need sky02x) for 260$ and some better antennas

[@banhegyibotond6910]

Can you show me a controller what is good for emax tinyhawk?

[@jeromyboy1]

Same struggle here

[@rakshithbaskar6014]

i saw two transmitters wit the same FS-iA10B 2.4GHz 10CH Receiver . one is the FS-i6X and the other is the FS-TH9x. what is the difference between these two and which should i go for?

[@georgedowning1803]

What about the flysky flit receivers... they are small and have decent range as well as Rssi built into a channel for those who don’t want to do the firmware mod.

[@audiogek]

I was just about to ask if Mr Mesh could maybe have a look at them :)

[@eskrace1104]

Gotta love the xm+ :) 1.5km is a good range for that price :) I play around in the forest with a 3" with it,and it's so much fun ^_^ 2" inch is up next with the xm+ around in the forest ;)

[@TakeItToTheGround]

I find XM and XM+'s to be awful with a reliable range, if you are lucky of 150-200 metres. 1.5 K for an XM+ in Frsky's dreams. On anything decent use an XSR. Much better range but still 1.5 km in Frsky's dreams.

[@mz000-o2w]

Does the left hand throttle mean that the left hand controls the height of the drone

[@romeoblanco9569]

Can I use the 2nd flysky receiver for a 3 inch cinewhoop build?! I’m new to this and don’t know anything or much about it I want to build a 3 inch and wanna use a flysky.

[@xiledfpv2273]

the I6 can be upgraded to have 14ch and a bunch of other cool features and it does support Ibus

[@DroneMesh]

XiledFPV I did that and did not want to recomend it as mine became buggy.

[@xiledfpv2273]

Drone Mesh i have been using mine with the 14 channel firmware pretty much since i got it. 6channels just wasnt enough. I havent noticed any issues but i guess there could be some. The i6x or i6s is probably the better choice anyway

[@Quadflightuk]

I started with Spektrum. Spent a year walking round looking for failsafed quads , kicking myself for blowing £200 on a shit radio until I could afford a FRSKY Taranis. Now flying a mile out on a £15 rxsr receiver with rssi . Never had a fail safe with this. To anyone starting out, stay away from Spektrum. Spend £200 on a Taranis X9d se, or even my mates QX7 is brilliant for £80. FRSKY is rock solid

[@johncarold]

I started flying Quads in December and I used my old spekterum DX8 and I purchased a set of Eachine EV100 but my eyes were to far apart so I went to the Eachine EV800D and I like them I have used them till I won a pair of Aomway commander V1 and I love them ! Now I plan on getting the taranis Xlite and the I believe is the X9D and I'm planning on using them as my long Range radio. I like the Foxeer predictor mini for night flying since I can't take the heat anymore. And for the rest of my quad it always comes down to what's on the market, but for a frame I would go to the FROG. Great video Great information THANKS for the HELP! JohnnyDRC

[@budgieredeyes8202]

Is eachine ev800d good pair of googles?

[@hase-ge1dn]

The first time i bought xm + it was broken and i can't change it Should i buy xm+ again because now use a xm * i need also a new fc should i buy the speedybee f4 aio?

[@nanomiterctech423]

the non x version also has ibus buddy

[@HeliMarcReviews]

The people always say mode 1 right throttle and mode 2 for left. But thats not all. Mode3 is like mode 2 with only with right throttle. Mode 1 and mode 4 are weird and nearly no one uses them for drones or helis. Only buy stuff which can handle all 4 modes. mode 3 is the same as mode 2 only the whole sticks are changed side by side. Mode3 is the lefhanded version of mode 2. Thats importan for beginners. Mode 1 and 4 is mixing everything to a useless config for helis or drones

[@jeffpv5744]

Does the Frsky xsr receiver have RSSI option? I think i seen a pic of a pad on it for rssi but i might be wrong.

[@MCsCreations]

JefFPV Green Both XSR and R-XSR are full telemetry receivers. So, sure. You just need to put the RSSI value in one channel. 😊

[@jeffpv5744]

MC's Creations Cool. Thanks a bunch for the info.

[@cenabitednbfpv587]

Imo i have a vid flying my TURNIGY EVO looks like a joke but works like a dream and with micro rx i xan get half mile or more before i start to worry and come back and yes i run the old evo on my 3inchers now with rssi telem micro rxs the flit 14 rx.

[@mtyler2469]

The cheap i6 runs ibus also without updating firmware.

[@chrisw3493]

I keep help I'm new to fpv and I have a makerfire armor65 lite and I wanted to upgrade from the toy grade transmitter so I just ordered a taranis Q X7. Will it bind or is there something im missing.

[@2phalanges]

can you do a custom 8 motors copter build and test flight.

[@anonymouslegion4928]

Can you please help me with the fsi6 and fitting a receiver in a diatone gtr 349n under canopy or if it won’t work what would you recommend as I own the fsi6 , please help.

[@alex-suarez]

I've been flying my flysky fsi6 for the past 2-3 years and its still rocking, Put on the 14 channel mod

[@k1ortia]

Amen..I started off with the standard flysky , i then bought the flysky fs-i6bx and no problems what so ever. Don't even use my taranis qx7. To much of a headache

[@vincentholm326]

Big thumbs up on the flysky if you are starting and have racing in mind, cause the Range isn't incredible

[@Madmancandfamily]

top stuff fella very useful info for a beginner who wants to start in fpv like me

[@javierramirez-kr2yt]

Is thier any kits that come remotes batts goggels like all of it just ready fly

[@georgenaps5255]

Great videos as always DM, I was wondering if you had any of can do a video on 7" long range, low kv build on a budget...thanks

[@adamvaughan123]

Is anyone else here because they gotten that Amazon email that their new tiny whoop is arriving after a drunk purchase? And need a controller

[@KodinKing]

Omg yes I bought two drones one is a baby hawk r and the other one is a bwhoop and I need controllers

[@adamvaughan123]

@@KodinKing That's a awesome drunk purchase! My one was a "eachine UK65" and since it arrived, I'm just practicing on a simulator so I don't completely destroy the poor thing

[@KodinKing]

@@adamvaughan123 like if I wasn't so fucked off my face at the time I would've read that it didn't come with controllers 😂😂

[@ricomatics]

Yep 😂🍻

[@cpoul]

Any vid for a non racing diy camera drone?

[@brandonpurdy7658]

Both the I6 and I6X runs ibus out of the box. The reason why a newbie should get the I6X is because it has 10 channels. 6 channels isn't enough.

[@martinhart9004]

Hi ive got the Flysky FS-i6S 2.4G 10CH AFHDS 2A with the Flysky FS-A8S FS A8S 2.4G 8CH Mini Receiver on ppm. Trouble is no matter what I've tried I can't get my quadcopter to failsafe. I've looked on KZbin and the internet tried everything I found but nothing has worked so was see if you had this trouble yourself.

[@damonbfpv]

have you set your failsafe in the transmitter , my x6b wudnt failsafe untill i set the failsafe inside the transmitter

[@martinhart9004]

damon barnes Yes mate i did but didn't work tho. But have now which the receiver from ppm to ibus and it's working now

[@MABFR01]

Hate being too early because there's no good comments 😒

[@hase-ge1dn]

Same

[@MCsCreations]

Marc-Antoine Just make one then. 😊

[@beatabortel7680]

i recommend receiver irangex FLi14+

[@ShadLife]

Do all goggles work with all cameras?

[@MSKtechy]

fs-i6 also has sbus... i use it in my fpv drone

[@anonymouslegion4928]

MSK tech I have the same, but could you recommend what receiver would fit under the canopy of diatone gtr 349n and work with this transmitter? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@damonbfpv]

7:05 knocked that led off myself ,glad im not the only one lol

[@MCsCreations]

Great stuff, DM! 😊 One question: the Holybro Kakute stack (with the 4 in 1 escs) would fit in the Frig Lite?

[@DroneMesh]

Yes

[@MCsCreations]

Drone Mesh Awesome! Thanks! 😀

[@georgedowning1803]

My i6 has ibus!!

[@Mr.sinister77]

can i use the flysky transmitter wih the frsky sbus reacever

[@klasztornik847]

No

[@zulerah]

What about VTXs? Do you recomend any?

[@beatabortel7680]

my eachine I6 have also ibus and 14 chanell with rssi

[@nicofpv1845]

please review the dys samguk wei motors

[@Devviiiii]

dont tell someone to remove anything or make holes bigger than they are, if they dont need it! :) Else its a good video, helped me a lot, thx (:

[@horizonfpv1184]

I would not recommend 5 inch to a beginner. A whoop would be perfect or a 2 inch

[@Andre_M_3D]

Thanks for making this video bud. I am starting to be set up nicely however still am using box goggles so my next purchase will be either the Aomways or fatsharks. I just got my frog lite frame last week so should be starting my build soon. Keep up the good work sir... Oh and I started with the flysky fsi6x and then got the qx7 and a irangex module and love it. I will keep the old flysky transmitter though as I still like it

[@cebulafpv4768]

Frsky taranis qx7s or x9d plus SE?

[@DroneMesh]

I_ like_ drones Qx7 or Qx7s

[@BuzZ.]

Well, if x-lite is dead. I can help you !

[@Mr.sinister77]

loved ur video amazing stuff

[@oreo760]

hey been loving the content im just getting into the hobby and your video have been and continue to be a big help i appreciate everything you do on here

[@abidikar]

Great advice... Great list... Thanks a lot.

[@madforit9661]

Another good vid upload

[@du4-fpv777]

Great videos! Awesome advice!

[@vincent5]

Can you please make a Video like **400$ TO START INTO DRONERACING ** where you Link everything like the droneparts, the best cheap vr Headset, the right controller and batteries and charger, the right Software etc, just everything to Start in to the Hobby So if you are new, you just have to buy the Links and then you can build everything WITHOUT any complications. This would help many People a Lot, like me, I want to Start into the Hobby but i dont know wich charger fits or wich batterie to your 168$ drone. Thanks ~Vini

[@DroneMesh]

Vini Van Gogh Ok will do

[@vincent5]

Drone Mesh OMG Thaaaaaanks

[@garyderksen]

I love your videos! My first build was the Frog Light with the racerstar all in one FC from your video . It flies awesome! I think from now on though I'm going to go with single ESC because I built one for my brother and also another build with the cicada brand I think it is basically the same thing and two of them burned out ESC s and it's getting expensive to replace . Anyways Keep up the good work!

[@dronereviewman9580]

I really like posts like this!!!! Cool post!!!!

[@jannesbosma9801]

Nice philosophic chat. Why are you ventilating an opinion on things you have no experience with? The flsky is very limited in config and therefore a transmitter you will surely replace as soon as you understand what rc is about. A waste of money. A good transmitter you can sell when the the hobby disappoints you, and is therefore cheaper. Your good advice is about ESCs and maybe FCs, to my opinion.

[@myaccountishacked6417]

Dafuq u talking about? Fsi6 uses ibus. I think you mean the difference between the transmitters is that the i6x has 10 channels whereas the i6 has only 6, but with an easy hack, the i6 can also have 10 channels....

[@tweekFPV]

👍 👍

[@pierstaylor7780]

Sorry I’m lost!

[@leftovercrass5210]

I lost the nuts to 3 of my switches on my flysky. Don't do that

[@bunkerfest]

Please more nub videos like this one where you explain the jargon keep then comming.

[@lyndajones1133]

you explain nothing in this. just sayin.

[@renofischa]

The normal fs i6 also supports ibus. It is receiver depending if ibus is available.
