Flysky FS-i6X RC Transmitter with FS-iA6B Receiver

Ok so i have been into quadcopters for a little while niw but onmy had ever gotten the Rtf(ready to fly) ones that came with their own transmitters. They began to take up too much space but i knew i was in this hobby now and i have the hunger to fly other machines.. So naturally i looked into a transmitter i can use with Bnf(bind and fly) products. This transmitter was a good pricepoint and i had heard from the internet that it was a good option for new folks into the bind and fly arena. It did have a learning curve but the fact that it can be used with flight simulators(i use the FPV Freerider app on my android using the included usb cable and an otg dongle, but theres also a number of pc/laptop simulators out there)makes it easier to practice and not kill a real quad, or any property damage. I bought it and simulated my flights before buying into an acro capable drone so i would be ready to actually fly, so this was a good investment. It came with a reciever that can be installed on any number of different RC products whether it be a RC truck, Airplane, helicopter, or quadcopter. Although, get yourself attuned to electronics soldering and knowing the technicallities helps a lot. Take away that its a good transmitter, comes with a reciever, a usb trainer cable for use with simulators, the required bind cable/plug, a minimal manual, and is packaged very well so as to not have any damage in shipping.

Wow! I've been away from the sport for decades. I finally decided to start converting my old Transmitter/Receivers to stay compliant with the latest FCC regs. What an amazing piece of technology. I just converted my submarine and the process was flawless. With this bind-n-fly concept, one transmitter will support my entire fleet. The unit also remembers all the settings specific to each model. I can also assign a name to each model. Very impressed with the flexibility. The price is a fraction of what I used to pay for a transmitter and receiver. Highly recommended!!

I bought this to control DIY hobby robot projects, so my experience is probably a bit different than the aircraft application this thing is clearly designed for. Loses one star for documentation. Manual is not included, but can be found online. Although it has a lot of good info, some areas could really use more detail. In my case, the channel mixing descriptions didn't help very much - trial and error ended up working best for me. Left hand stick does not self-center vertically, but a kit is available to change that. I left it as-is, to allow for position-and-hold control of a servo arm joint, along with the two knobs (channels 5 and 6). It can be used to drive tank-style steering using only the right stick (channels 1 and 2 in my configuration), but the channel mixing is a bit tricky. The "Display" function (showing the signal output of all channels at once) was very helpful in identifying how each of the channels responded to various inputs. The tank steering required two mixes - I can't recall the exact settings I used offhand, but I can check if anyone's interested. Switches A, B, and D are "on-off" style, and switch C is 3-way (forward-off-reverse). By default, they're wired for features like throttle hold, steering hold, etc. within the transmitter, and don't output to channels 7 through 10. According to the manual, if you want to pair with a 10-channel receiver (instead of the supplied 6-channel), the four switches at the top can be reconfigured to drive their own channels, but it requires opening the transmitter case and plugging them into a different port on the circuit board. Haven't tried it yet, but the PDF manual gives a sketchy description on how to do it. Receiver pinout: Top: Signal Middle: Power (+V) Bottom: Ground (-V) I haven't tried using the upper servo/ibus connections on the receiver, so I can't comment on that. I was able to run the whole bot from 4 AA batteries, though the power output for grabbing is pretty limited that way. All things considered, it's a good controller for entry-level DIY hobby RC robots. My first bot build (pictured) certainly sparked a huge interest in my 2 and 5 year old kids, so I'd call it a win.

very good value for a newbee flyer. Seems to have enough functions to keep me happy

Love this transmitter. It was sa suggested buy for my airplane kit. The problem was the esc and servos did not match. So I returned it. Great return policy through Amazon

Came as described and on time. Thanks to this cotrol and receiver I have discovered the world of do it yourself RC planes. The remote is simple to used and it came already linked to the receiver. Prior to purchasing it I was concerned about quality but after looking at YouTube videos and reviews of it I was really impressed and excited to get it. I'm happy that I did because it works great. I am about to build my second plane and every day I learn new tricks that I didn't think my remote would do.

My RC experience goes back maybe 15 yrs to an original Spectrum DX-6, working an aircraft and (later on) a sailboat. Added some other sailboats using the inexpensive HobbyKing sets - probably bought 3 of them for different boats. Set up a new IOM sailboat with the DX-6, and died at the wrong time (there's never a right time). Boat ended up in the weeds on New Year's Day (luckily, I had boots). I decided to get a new radio. Bought this new FlySky and am thrilled. The cheapo HK sets had NO programming - this transmitter does it all with easier menus than the old DX-6! Best news is that this XMTR works with both it's AFSDS-2 receivers as well as the original AFSDS receivers from the cheapo HK sets. No need to buy a half-dozen new receivers! Not to fault the old DX-6. Failure turned out to be the XMTR batteries. I'd replaced the original Ni-Cd with Li-Fe and it had failed. Not sure if it's worthwhile bringing the DX-6 back to life. Only suggestion would be to allow the unit to take 5 of Ni-Mh for power. Transmitter is currently set up for 4 Alkalines. I'm using mine with 4 of Ni-Mh without issue (yet).

Cracking product,worth the money.

Ich habe die Fernsteuerung in ein Segelschiffsmodell eingebaut. Alles funktioniert wie geplant.

No problems at all

Eccellente prodotto

Una vez que lo configures correctamente, el control responde excelente, el alcance es grande, alrededor de 100 mts ya que volé mi dron en un campo de fútbol y prácticamente de extremo a extremo pude controlarlo sin problemas
