Finally! FIRST assign a switch, NEXT, set the >OFF< value to 0%, THEN flip your assigned switch to ON BEFORE pressing the CANCEL button to SAVE the new 0% value. Just what I needed to do to create a kill switch on SWD without my % value reverting back to the default value that I was trying to reset. You made it so SIMPLE that even this FS-i6 Newbie got it done for much welcomed propeller safety when I'm tweaking other settings or devices where accidental prop spinning could be disastrous!
Brilliantly presented - clearly spoken, sequential instructions making a superb advice guide to setting the fs-i6. Thank you very much.
Many thanks! 😃
Only thing from what I can see is that everytime you switch the TX on with the switch in the down position, the TX will go into warning mode, so you will have to switch it to the up position for the TX to work normally.
I have actually set mine in the idle mode on switch D then change the throttle curve in normal mode to all zero so switch D will stay in the up position when you turn the TX on without the warning alarm activating.
Great...! Had some guys in the club ask me why I didn't have a "Kill Switch" on my Tx., in case the throttle got bumped. Now I can do it to BOTH Tx.'s, and they will be "proud" of me!
(They all have Spectrum Radios, and didn't know anything about my "CHEAP" ones!) Haha!
Thanks so much for all your Videos, and helping a newbie learn How to Use what he's already bought... (Can't afford the "High-Priced Spread"!) Haha!
You left me confused!
@@DLM517 I was just learning how to fly planes a couple of years ago, and had sat my pane on the flying line - with batt. plugged in and Tx sitting by it. Someone picked up my Tx and accidentally bumped the throttle, and my plane took off by itself (good trim, I'd say!). It crashed on the other side of the field (no "Biggie" - Foamboard Plane), and was told I needed to have the "Throttle Kill Switch" in the OFF Position. Heck, I didn't know how until I saw this.
Fly more (it only cost $$$ when ya crash...!)
Thank you I searched everywhere and for a long time to find how to adjust the engine cut-off with the swa switch.
Thank you from there France, finally I got there the first time ... Great!
Thank you Adam this is exactly what I need 👍👍👍👍👏👏
I've had my FS-i6 for 5 years. Did not know this. Best tip for this radio since I got it. Thanks!
You bet! 👌
Thanks! Looked this video up right after I cut my hand up testing trying to test my rudder lol
Nice thank you for the pro tip, I was trying to figure out a good way to do with this for my daughter's air plane because we are not planning to use a flight controller and this makes perfect sense. Really need that arm/disarm switch for a new young pilot :)
I Subscribed Adams great straight and clear to the point thanks, wonder how many fingers you"ve saved
Thanks! Just smashed my plane cause I accidently reversed the throttle channel cause the FS-6X buttons layout is wierd, why would ok move the cursor up and down but up and down don't? And hold cancel saves, makes no sense. Anyway, learned my lesson, gonna use this all the time.
Hello!
Sorry, but NO, do not do this!
Given that the FS transmitters want all the switches in the "up position" to turn on, this is quite an unsafe method, as the engine will be armed when the transmitter is powered! (I know you are not supposed to turn on the transmitter after the model, but that's exactly why you set these types of safety mechanism: catch fuck ups)
It is much safer to have an inactive throttle when the transmitter is turned on, and you to have to voluntarily arm your throttle when ready to fly.
-Go to "Assign switches" and at "Idle mode", assign switch A (or whatever other switch you want).
-The go to the "throttle curve". "Normal", change all values (L to H) to 0. Flick the A switch down and you get "Idle up" mode displayed. Here, you put 0,25,50,75,100, or whatever response curve you use to fly.
There, your arming switch is set properly, and if you forget your transmitter in the armed position when turned off, it will ask you to put it in safe position when turning on next time.
And there is also very little risk of triggering the engine accidentally when setting this up as well (but you do not need the model to be powered up to do it anyway).
Then you set up your fail safe with a 0 throttle, so if you turn off your transmitter before your model, 0 risk of its engine to turn on (as long as you use fail-safe-able receiver).
Stay safe and have fun!
@Gregory Dahl I'm confused: who talked about props?
@Gregory Dahl I'm sorry:
1- You still have not explained what did props have anything to do with my initial comment? (basically, why did you write this as "reply" of my comment as it is off topic).
Moreover, do you remove the props off your models after every flight?
2 - You seem to have completely missed the point.
The method presented in the video is dangerous, because the transmitter powers up in the "armed" state.
The whole point of a safety measure is to make it fool-proof. It should not be something extra to think about, or you are asking for incident/accident to happen. In this case, it changes nothing safety-wise to not having a throttle hold at all (as you either have to remember the proper posture of a switch, or of the throttle stick).
If you take the time to set a switch for this function, do it properly.
Ensuring the transmitter powers up in the "disarmed" state gives you one less thing to think about and to go wrong. Period.
@Gregory Dahl What did I say? "Pushed away from you" dude, either learn to read, or get your head out of the sand....
But thanks to confirm my suspicions abut you.
@Gregory Dahl There is a point where it is useless to talk. I have neither the time, nor the crayons to make my explanation clearer than in my first comment.
Yes I agree, I just set this up on my FMS Moa with electric motor. You can not switch the transmitter on with the aux switch in the down (unarmed) position. I will undo those settings and try to set it up using your method. Cheers
This channel is what i need for tutorial for transmitters i love this channel
Dope. Thanks a lot man. New to the hobby. Just got my flysky today thank you
Glad I could help!
If you want to achieve the same thing with fs-i6s (or any other transmitter that doesn't have a specific arm switch configuration), I Played around with the mixes and managed to create an easy arm-switch surrogate:
- Set switchA as channel 10
- Enable mix1 with the following setting:
- Master Ch10
- Slave Ch3
- Offset -100%
- Neg 100%
- Pos 100%
- Result is that in the up position (the one that is required to turn on the Tx), Ch3 is forced to -100%, but in the down position (armed) full throttle control is enabled by Ch3.
(swap Ch3 for your throttle channel if you are not Mode2).
None of this is unique to the fs-i6s, so perhaps this trick is as old as mixes on transmitters...
Have fun and be safe.
🤩😍😍😍detailed explanation bro💪🏻🤝🏻
Excellent thank you 👍🏻👍🏻
Can you please do a turorial on how your radio is set up? You have this switch SWA set to dual rates in the other video so im confused whats best to do
Great safety tip!! Many thanks for sharing.
Have Fun,
Joe
Yes! You're welcome!
@@RCwithAdam1 i have a problem with mine, my motor only stop when the throttle was in the midle and if i put it down the motor rotate to on side if i put it up the motor spin in the other direction can you help put this motor rotate only in 1 direction? Thanks
How to use other Toggle switch to Turn On and Off the Led ?
How do I set up the Switch C for installed gyro? Haven't had maiden flight yet from a scratch build. FS-i6.
Hi sir...
I have rc glyder. i change elevator and radar servo..so i know about trimming to the elevator,radar.
I have same flysky fsi6.
How to use the trim switches and please tell about there directions.
Hey Adam, what's the factory menu about can you do a video on that?
thanks man, really useful
Help! When i press down, the switch is not showing up into the menu
Hi bro, Have been testing with flysky fs i6x, ch4 able to rotate one specific servo, on the same channel other servos not working. tried with ch1 & ch2 with other servos not working. But using a servo tester all can be able to rotate.
Mine went full throttle when I flip the switch what did I do wrong
I want to switch between an arduino and flysky to work. How do I do it?
Hi... How it is different comparing setting an arming feature in betaflight
Hi Adam , U am your fan, I have a question that how I can set my FS i6x backlight duration. I couldn't find any settings on my set, if you know please tell me. Regards
Good job mate
Can I use the same setup on a quadcopter
NO (maybe you can but don't)
If you are setting up a quad you should assign arming in the modes tab in betaflight. If you set it up in betaflight on your flight controller it double checks some other stuf for you (like stick position, battery voltage, quad orientation,...)
Thanks for this video great information. Do you know if there is a GPS sensor for flysky?
I believe there is. Can't remember the name of it, but it's on their website.
If I wanted to use this transmitter for a car, and use the throttle to accelerate and with a swtich when activated, reverse the throttle for reverse, can you do that? Can you show me? Please thanks
Great job brother
Thank you! 😁
But doesn't this defeat the purpose? The transmitter won't turn on until the engine cutoff switch is in the GO position?
I think I see what you mean. The standard procedure is to turn on the radio and set any switch correctly, then turn on the aircraft, so that shouldn't be a problem. Also, the active position of the arming switch for can be changed so that when the tx turns on and the switches need to be in their initial position, the arm switch is inactive.
@@RCwithAdam1 Here's what I had in mind! Motor won't turn on till you put the switch down and tx won't work till you put it up: ruclips.net/video/xt5IdeLdiug/видео.html
Yep. That video by Andrew Newton from many years ago is the ONLY smart way to set up these Flysky transmitters for motor kill! The only possible thing to add to it is to set that chosen switch to be one that is LEAST likely to catch in your trousers leg as you walk with it in 1 hand! ;-)
My throttle works in half throttle and work with yaw please give solution
Good video... saying it as FrSky owner xD
Adam, are you a full-time filmmaker? Because I always get the notifications from you! :D
Hey thanks! I'm not yet, but working towards that. Thanks for noticing!
i am unable to find this in FS-i6s, need your help
Why I cannot change throtle by pressing down button ????
Adam trying to setup my Flysky for Realflight but my left stick is reversed. Vertical is rudder and horizontal is throttle. How can I reverse that?
Hi! That sounds like a channel mapping issue that you can usually change within the simulator control/channel settings (I don't have RF, but I've had the similar situation with other sims).
Sir how to arm pixhawk with flysky i6x? Please help me.. thanks
Hi! Sorry, but I'm really not familiar enough with the Pixhawk to help you with that. 😔
Why is it that when I turn on my switch it it goes 100% throttle and a mix of ailerons and rudder?
Which switch are you turning on that causes this? was it working correctly before?
@@RCwithAdam1 Thanks for replying! I I binded it just like you said in one of your videos. When I tested switch A it did just that. But it's Okay now I just factory reset the whole thing.
I'm not using betaflight product I'm using autopilot
Dear Adam, in my fs i6x, switches dont appear in the Assign switches menu. Is there any special way to activate it?
You need to switch on aux switch first. Go to system>scroll down to last one> aux switches and then enable which one you want.
How do I choose which propeller to use for my quadcopter if I have already calculated what the thrust per motor is? thanks
Hi! What model quadcopter and motors do you have?
@@RCwithAdam1 I'm actually building one from scratch. 3d printing my own design for the frame. I'm planning on using a motor that gives a thrust of atleast 675g/motor
Ok cool! Do you know the size, kv, and voltage of the motor? Most of all, the kv (rpm per volt) will determine how large of a propeller it will handle. For example, an 1806 size, 2300kv motor with a 3 cell battery could spin a 5045 (5") or 6030 (6") propeller.
@@RCwithAdam1 ah okay, i think that solves it. thanks!
idk if the question is stupid, but can we use this controller and mechanism for a drone?
Hi! Stupid questions are my specialty! Yes, this can absolutely be used to fly drones (and really any other type of rc vehicle).
@@RCwithAdam1 thanks for the quick response mate! Appreciate it!😁
Hi adam! How to setup arm switch for flysky i6S ???
Please reply soon. I'm frustrated!!
Hi Electronics Freak! What aircraft are you flying?
@@RCwithAdam1 I am flying a quadcopter with Naza M V2 flight controller.
@@RCwithAdam1 Actually I need some clarity regarding how to arm the quad with flysky i6S and also the connection diagram between Naza M V2 and flysky i-10B
@@RCwithAdam1 reply fast man.
Explane me, please, how can I install combination on Channel 5 SWC+D ?
Hi! do mean make it so that channel 5 is activated only when BOTH switch C AND D are in the ON position?
@@RCwithAdam1 Of cource, both switch swc and swd are in the ON position! I think the reason is that I use FS-i6x and not FS-i6. I quite mixed 2 channel for 6 regimes by another way. Thanks.
🤗Very imformative...Thanks!
👍glad I could help!
Hello Adam...! Great video I needed that on my Flysky FS-i6X for my Quad-copter. It's a 500 mm Quad (about 20" arm span) I'm using the Pixhawk PX4 Flight Controller, it came from China so I'm not real sure what it's going to do when I try to fly it..? I live in the Southern New Mexico Mountains and there's not too much around here for parts, mostly Internet Drone suppliers... I'm not sure where you are located but I was wondering if you could do me a huge favor..? I run my Drone on QGroundControl w/Telemetry and I want to monitor all that on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, 10.1" WiFi only. I have searched the Internet for a supplier of a "Mounting Bracket" to Mount the Tab 2 (Tablet)onto my Flysky FS-i6X Transmitter. Usually, the Bracket Mounts to the Center Piece in between the two joy sticks where the Lanyard would be clipped on and there is a nurled type thumb screw that fits exactly in the round hole and threads into the mounting bracket. I've ordered a couple of these mounting brackets off the Internet and neither one of them line up, there impossible to use, so I've got parts. Would there be a Drone supply house near you where get your parts, where you could take one of your Flysky FS-i6x Transmitters w/you and see if you could get something or a mounting bracket for the Tab 2..? The Bracket needs to open to about 7+" tall, length doesn't matter, but it's 10.1" long. If one is available or something I could use, I'd gladly pay you for your troubles and the parts or bracket if you can find one..? Thanks in Advance,
James......
Hi James! I wish I could help, but I really don't have any local hobby shops to go to. Sounds like hardware store kind of project to make a custom holder rig.
@@RCwithAdam1 Ok Adam, sorry to bother you....! =)
@@jalpa9642 Maybe you can try to 3d print something? Or find a model online and print it on demand and get it shipped to you?
U didn’t link the other video? Smh
