Thanks Adam! 2:42

[@tonyholmes7992]

'Another cracking explanation. You achieve what a manual fails to do. Much appreciated.

[@richarddorsch7275]

You have the best info lessons on flysky.

[@RCwithAdam1]

Thanks!

[@michaelbajo9966]

You are they only one that talked about adding elevator when in failsafe. Nice one! 🖒

[@brandonpritchard5]

Thx Adam. You rock! You saved my bacon...again. You do a really good job. Some people bore the crap out of me, others are so spastic, I just can't stand to hear their voice! You strike a good balance between being entertaining and, presenting the materidl in a easy to follow, easy to understand way.👍🙏

[@RCwithAdam1]

Well thank you very much! I'm glad to hear my videos are helping you! 😃🙌

[@JonFloFPV]

After finally getting an old hand-me-down Diatone Tyrant running, I watched your videos on setting up failsafes and setting the arming switch on my Flysky i6x... and now I'm good to go :) Thank you so much for your info sharing! It helps a lot of us get off the ground - literally.

[@coltaarav5416]

You prolly dont give a damn but does anybody know a trick to get back into an instagram account?? I somehow forgot my account password. I would appreciate any help you can give me.

I smile so much Adam ,since I found your channel , You have everything I need to learn and start setting up my first transmitter and receiver ( Flysky FS I6 ) cheers mate for all your help 👍🦘🦘👏👏👍🦘🦘

[@RCwithAdam1]

Thank you! That's fantastic to hear! 👍 welcome to the hobby!

[@josephsopala7642]

Sanks so much to you...for this detailed and to the point video. I was out flying a minute ago and wondered if I had put the failsafe on my new plane settings and of course I didn't but I tested it anyway by turning off my FS Tx . Needless to say it kept going. For some reason, even in panic mode, I was able to reconnect before it got away. After that I couldn't remember for the life of me how to set up failsafe so your video was very helpful. Back to terrorizing the neighborhood.

[@RCwithAdam1]

Happy to help and good save!

[@frangie9858]

thanks for this amazing tutorial im going to remember this so if have this transmitter i can use that failsafe thing thankyou

[@longjammeriii3323]

That's some really interesting and great advice, thanks for sharing, regards, Alan, uk

[@iassacspurlin1368]

Great video i did not understsnd how it works or what failsafe is, you da man!

[@dhavesy5730]

Hi Adam,please teach us a video on how to setup rssi on fs-i6s. Thanks

[@josefmechanic]

This is awesome I never knew what this did and it using this remote and reciver for a mt2 hpi rc and it works incredibly ❤️

[@RCwithAdam1]

Great to hear! 👍

[@FRANLAC]

perfect very good explain Thnaks .

[@KingBeetle1966]

So if I had an AUX channel set to ReturnToLaunch (GPS Rescue in BetaFlight) when in the "ON" position, I can program the transmitter on my hexacopter to automatically engage and come back if it loses the transmitter signal! Nifty!

[@timewaster1959]

As usual brilliant!!!😊

[@lucywucyyy]

id add a tiny bit of rudder so the plane will glide in circles, hopfully tbhat would stop it from gliding further away

[@RCwithAdam1]

Good idea!

[@MURDOG2002]

So this radio & receiver has a built-in failsafe? No need to buy one separately?

[@Stilo727Fpv]

Hi Adam. I have a F450 Diy quad. Want to use the Naza mlite with the FS-i6X. Cannot get the Sw-C allocated wity pos1=Manual,pos2=Altti and pos3=Gps. My pos2 ends up in FAILSAFE iso. Altti🤔😪. ENDPOINTS works on pos1 and pos3,but pos2 cant set? Wouter

[@doubletapgaming1189]

I'm part of the flysky fam. Thanks for all the tips.

[@RCwithAdam1]

Highfive! 🙏 👌

[@cadser0engco]

Easy explanation Thank you.

[@petrblaha6618]

TIP: try to set the elevator and rudder both to 100% and motor to -100%. The plane would go into spiraling down but in the end it slows down and lands like a miracle (at least for gliders). That's what an old PRO pilot taught me years ago...

[@desthyyap2160]

hi adam, desthy here from the Philippines. nice and very informative videos you have. i have a question though and hope you can help me with it. in my old fm pcm futaba radios, we usually do range checks by walking about 50m from the plane with the transmitter antenna down to see if it works fine...and in some 2.4ghz radios like spectrum, they have a range check button...how do you range check an fs-i6x? thanks!

[@richarddorsch7275]

Adam, it just won't work with the micro receiver fs2a c channel. I've tried and tried but still won't work. Do you have any ideas? Thanks

[@NewYorkeez]

Hey Adam, how to set up pitch roll and yaw when you build your own flight controller? Same rc controller

[@LucianBlox]

you could also make the rutter turn to the left or right, while the elevator is slightly up so the plane wouldn't just keep going; it would go in circles

[@RCwithAdam1]

That could be a good idea.

[@LucianBlox]

@@RCwithAdam1 but also u can buy zohd gps and use return to home. zohd RTH can be activated by a switch so ur failsafe could put the switch up to start RTH

[@huntingwheels7374]

hi RCwithAdam i have one problem with my set up i have the same radio but my motor only work when i have half of throttle and some times spin on booth sizes.. can you help me?

[@royd7984]

What is the best ESC to get for a 4 channel trainer and the FS16X? I'm new to the hobby. Thanks very much.

[@RCwithAdam1]

Hi! Welcome to the hobby. I've enjoyed Emax 12amp, 20amp, and 30amp ESCs. Make sure the connector matches your battery's connector.

[@cooperthompson4850]

Flysky fam: "Our transmitters cheap and our wallets happy."

[@lucywucyyy]

if you had a gyro or an autopilot could you connect those to the failsafe to make the plane land itself or something?

[@plewisto]

My transmitter does a series of 3 beeps and a pause while retaining full control. Do you know what this means?

[@kennethholland4627]

Okay. I have a question. I have a tracked crawler set up with a real time camera to do crawl space inspections with.. My problem is that when the battery on the vehicle itself gets low, it surges backwards. This can be a real problem when it's underneath a house because when it does this, I have no control over it. It has backed itself into tight spots where it knocks the camrea around and once even pulled the entennas off. Can I set a failsafe on my FlySky i6 to avoid this problem? If I have to crawl under a house to retrieve it is one thig, but to have it crawling backwards out of control and possibly damaging the vehicle is a real problem. Can you help me?

[@stefedwards2934]

Thanks Adam, you are a star👍🇬🇧

[@RCwithAdam1]

lol thanks! 🤩

[@anuragsingh9557]

Thanks Adam just what i needed

[@RCwithAdam1]

Awesome! 👍

[@amoeslund]

I only think this applies to drones. Some flysky receivers have problems to detect failsafe. If it doesn't work on your receiver this did the trick for my fs-ia6b. FIX: Go to your controller menu - Function setup - End Points and set you low value for channel 3 to 120%. (throttle chanel) Go to System Setup - RX setup - Failsafe - and setup your failsafe for channel 3, which now can set to -120% (950) Go back and set your end point for channel 3 back to 100% (else you will failsafe when you throttle down ;-) ) Go to failsafe tap in Betaflight and set Minimum length in Valid Pulse Range Settings to 970 (or somewhere else in between 950-990) And then it should work... test it before you fly!

[@SubhashMishra]

Nice information

[@robertbrander2074]

Good Lesson Son ! I will be using that a lot ! ....... How good is the i6 to i6x software update ? Have you heard of any problems with it ? Is it buggy ? I want to try it but am nervous ....... Cheers !

How to set up a safe mode or panic mode for beginers

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Good info Adam but when I select rx setup my only option is 'AFHDS' ! Any ideas?

[@RCwithAdam1]

Hi, Cliff! Do you have the i6X or just the i6?

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

@@RCwithAdam1 It's the i6, I'm guessing you're going to say it's only the 'X' which has these options?

[@RCwithAdam1]

Hey! I just checked on my i6. I think yours was on AFHDS mode. In the RX setup menu, Press OK on the AFHDS, then AFHDS 2A should show up. Then select ON. Now the RX SETUP menu should have all many other options, including failsafe. Let me know if this works!

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

@@RCwithAdam1 Your right, the AFHDS 2A shows up, I then select ON, and the screen now says AFHDS 2A with the word OFF below it, I then select ON and I'm returned to the screen that says AFHDS, weird!

Hi, I have a fs i6 and I want to put a 3ch rx, this receptor is a viable with this transmitter the binding is OK, he works right in all channels, but don't works the failsafe, I do the set up for this 3 ch receptor and when I cut the TX the rc model do not cut......

[@kaseym6992]

Have you figured out a timer for the i6X? I have seen where there is a software mod for the i6 but don't think it works with the i6X. Or any suggestions for a timer?

[@RCwithAdam1]

Hi! I have not. And I still haven't found it on the i6 10ch mod.

pls help me how to set up for radjet 800

[@thatguyblue4811]

How would you set this if you were trying to set up RTH?

[@RCwithAdam1]

Hi! That depends on a LOT of factors, like the aircraft, gps unit, flight controller, firmware, etc.

[@bluepple6478]

what idf the plane battery died will it still be able to do the failsafe?

[@RCwithAdam1]

Good question! No. If the flight battery drains completely or becomes disconnected, the failsafe will not work (although I've never actually tested this). But it doesn't take much voltage to operate the servos, so at super low voltage the motor might not work but servos will.

[@bluepple6478]

@@RCwithAdam1 so i will need a reserve battery to activate a emergency parachute or somewhat

[@bluepple6478]

@@RCwithAdam1 and i could use a very large capacitator to activate the failsafe

[@dmctec5943]

Thxs.. But It's better to buy a controller with GPS and configure GPS Rescue Mode in Betaflight, INAV, other softwares, and your model will return to its takeoff point, you can recover it and save it!

[@SONICBOOM-117]

Do I have to set up fail safe via the transmitter if I have GPS on my quad and airplane?

[@RCwithAdam1]

I haven't played with GPS yet, but I don't think so.

[@SONICBOOM-117]

@@RCwithAdam1 yes I found out with the bgl autopilot you have to set a switch for RTH and set throttle at a cruising (altitude maintaining) speed. Adam you've helped me before. Thanks for your easy to understand videos plus you make it fun to watch. Don't you dare stop!!!

[@bearfpv9377]

It works with any receiver from flysky?

[@RCwithAdam1]

Sorta. It works with AFHDS (the older ones) and AFHDS 2A (newer, common ones), But will not work with FlySky's latest AFHDS3 receivers.

[@zizoeldjazairi7922]

what is its max range

[@dbproductions6656]

what are your thoughts on the x6b reciver?? great video by the way

[@RCwithAdam1]

Hi! The X6B is a fine receiver, I've used it a lot successfully, but now there are better options out there. Specifically, I'm using the Fli14+ and CrossoverRX receivers instead. But if you don't mind the extra size/weight, they work just fine!

[@SaereeNon]

So good!

[@itsme-tm4vd]

graet .thank for the video

[@rogermaz9025]

Adam, I noticed when you moved the throttle a bit the engine turned on in my case I have a dead zone I have to move the stick almost half way up till engine starts to run.Is there a way to fix that.

[@RCwithAdam1]

Hi! I would try calibrating the esc for your throttle. Each esc manufacturer should have info on how to do that.

[@desthyyap2160]

hi Roger, try calibrating the esc again with your tx. remove the propeller first then move your throttle to wot position. turn on tx, then attach power to rx. usually you will here 2beeps then move throttle to full down. you will hear the esc arm and that's it, esc calibrated. hope this helps.
