On the bench: FlySky FS i6 radio
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- By popular demand, a review of the popular FlySky FS i6 2.4GHz RC system with matching 6-channel telemetry enabled receiver.
Pros:
- low cost
- simple to use
- small and lightweight
- build-quality okay for such a cheap radio
- AFHSD system uses about 90% of the band
- can be upgraded to independent software
Cons:
- uses a 4x AA battery holder (no lipo/Life option)
- irritating inactivity alarm kicks way too quickly
- no RSSI alarm
- no haptic feedback and alarm beep is too quiet
- no "simple" lipo telemetry
- only one 3-position switch
Summary:
It's hard to complain, given the price and if the deficiencies of this radio are not important to you then it looks like pretty good value.
Thanks to Chris (iforce2d) for lending me this radio to review.
Thank you for the review ! I have that radio and already had a firmware hack and I can get 10 channels using ibus ! The "irritating alarm inactivity" with the firmware hack kicks in after 10m instead of the 2m by default !
The range is just awesome - more than 1km !
Despite being a 50€ radio, I'm happy with it ! Thank you for the review !
I have this radio with that same receiver, I use it in PPM mode on my mini quad and i'm really happy with it, for the price it cant be beat, I would recommend it to anyone who wants to get into the hobby as a budget transmitter. Another nice review Bruce
The voltage telemetry sensor for that receiver costs like 2 bucks...
Where from? Other than the hack.
I got it somewhere from aliexpress but that listing doesnt seem exist any more. Sorry for false information then.
search for 'flysky voltage' on banggood
***** Both original and the custom FW beep at low voltage allowing you to set the voltage treshold to start beeping. The original FW has only 10V max voltage limit, but custom firmware can go as high as you want.
*****
I just plugged in one cell instead of all four until i flashed the FW.
For the price this radio is unbeatable. Of course not as good as radios costing several time more. I got two of these and have trainer cable as well works great!!!!
I also use the voltage sensor...
This is a very capable radio once you flash the modded firmware and use iBus(sBus basically). It has excellent range and reliability. I have had no issue at all with this transmitter. A few of your cons are also solved with the modded firmware. If you are on the fence about buying one of these then I'd say go for it. You won't find a better bang for your buck!
What modded firmware are you talking about? link?
+Carlos León I guess my other link probably got blocked but look up "FlySky 10 channel mod"
Modded firmware flash and iBus support makes this my radio for life. I'll spend the 300$ I save with this to build an extra quad or two.
how do the sticks feel though, i on the other hand would not feel a fifty buck radio would cut it. The quality in a better transmitter justifies more cost. Just my opinion 😆
I have flown with a spectrum i6x (I think) and I couldn't tell you that I could fell a difference. Maybe someone with more time on a more expensive TX might have a bit more input.
I kept wanting to reach into the monitor and pull off the protective plastic covering the screen.
Seeing that it was a loaner for this review, pulling off the slipcover might have been a little presumptuous!

This is the Tx/Rx I'm currently using. IBUS is available in Cleanflight, Betaflight and even Baseflight I think. I have read that IBUS is actually faster than SBUS. There is no RSSI in the conventional sense. Instead, the Err1 reading goes from 0%-100%. 0% is no errors/good RSSI 100% lots of errors/bad RSSI. I guess it's a reverse RSSI in a way, but I believe proper RSSI is monitoring the resistance or voltage of the signal and not the amount of 'Errors' (whatever they class an error as).
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS REVIEW !
That Err1 on the bottom on the screen is the error rate. It's not rssi, it works a bit different if I'm correct, but it is indicating the signal strength just as well. Unfortunately it doesn't beeps at you when it goes high.
Try to upgrade transmitter 10chanel
I actually like the AA battery option, since already got a high end radio, I use this for simulators because lipo ones run low and sometimes even run lower the 3v which destroy the battery from using the simulator for hours.
Great review as always Bruce, I have just started using this radio and find its a superb bit of kit for the money :) Even the gimbals feel nice when flying with it! Can't complain about that and I was quite surprised to see the diversity style antenna setup inside the radio! Having a thinner radio works nicely in the hands during flight too, it looks cheap but daym it works well!!
Do you have a similar review about the Devo 7E radio? Thanks!
The i6 was my first radio and I love it. Still have it even after getting the i10. I liked how easy it was to set up a model. The small size I like. The i10 is bigger but really thin if not thinner than the i6. I have tried a few other radios and they feel like your trying to fly a plane holding a boom box. Way to big for me and I have big hands. No idea why most radios are as bulky as they are.
I got this radio but with the FS-iA6 reciever. Range is only about 300-400 m max. Will I get better range with the FS-iA6B?
Thanks, good to know. Will get one then.
I am actually really impressed with the next one up, the i6s.
After coming back to RC after a 12-year break I picked one up as a toy BUT I can't believe the features I get for just $15-$20 more than the i6 (I see it in places for $61 US). A few of the highlights over the i6 are;-
* 10 channels via sbus/ibus (with the 6 channel receiver no less)
* 2X 3 position switches
* 2X 2 position switches
* 2 Push Buttons
* 2 Varistor wheels
The new firmware adds the missing model memories of the v1 firmware as well as a stack of other things. I live about 40-50k away from Bruce, perhaps I should pack it in a bag and send it over for him to have a look.
Getting 10 channels out of a 6 channel receiver (standard, no mods) is just gravy.
I just received my I6S this morning and am still mulling it over. Bruce would absolutely love the innards in this one!
No solder blobs. Wire looms that are nice and very tidy along with designed-in wire catches in the housing to route them. All connections are those mini jst type thingies (yes. it's an actual technical term ;-)
It's absolutely tiny inside - I mean there's plenty of room but a lot of it is empty. Then again, it may just look that way since it's white plastic. But it doesn't do speak-n-spell - oh well ;-)
Don't ask me to compare it with the original I6... I dunno which'd be better yet.
The AFHDS A2 system divides the 2.40-2.48Ghz spectrum into 140 channels and then use 16 of them. That's why you see 16 spikes on the oscilloscope. Don't know if the 16 channels are selected randomly per bind nor why it's done this way. (Maybe it's EU-regulations demanding "listen before talk"?!).
None of these 2.4ghz transmitters are actually transmitters they are transceivers by the nature of the 2.4ghz system they use. Therefore using diversity should no harder on a tx than an RX.
Also ibus has been supported in betaflight for about 4 months now works great for me on 2.6.1 uart3.
>Therefore using diversity should no harder on a tx than an RX.
If you have two transmitters on the exact same channel transmitting at the same time you will have problems.. that's the whole reason these things use channel hopping.
They are either doing (as pointed out in the video) interleaving by one packet out on antenna, next out the other or interleaving using multiple channels at the same time. Not as simple as sample both antennas and prefer the one with the best RSSI .. and even that isn't simple. The firmware in a big silicon vendor's WiFi chip that I used in a product messed up the diversity so that if it flipped over to an antenna that wasn't connected it would get stuck until power cycled.. if even a big mainstream vendor can mess it up imagine what Chinese RC vendors can come up with.
betaflight supports ibus which is like sbus in terms of latency.
And cleanflight...
even better!
And it doesn't require inversion like sbus does...
This is the reason why this radio should be first and foremost in beginners' minds. If they are going to fly multirotors anyway. For fixed-wing, it doesn't matter so much.
+Joshua Bardwell is this any good for qaudcopters josh
Don't remember if it's in the manual, but to save settings on this transmitter you have to hold "Cancel" button, which is a bit unintuituve.
its easy to use
i just love this radio. only got once disconnected from my quad. receiver had one antenna missing and i flew pretty close to a cell tower. my radio beeps when getting low signal\big error %.
I have one, except the Turnigy-i6. They are the same, so I've been told. The Error% is their version of RSSI. You can flash it to have 10 channels. Pretty awesome transmitter for the price.
There is a mod you can do to the receiver to get voltage telemetry without having to buy a module - www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2402288
its possible to use this for small battlebot right? for like 2 drive servos and flipper servo?
Yes, but you'll need to provide 5V to the receiver. And if they are very high power servos and motors they may need more pore than can be run through the receiver and may want separate power supplies.
the flysky i6 with the fsia6b is what I use everyday and it really is a great radio the only thing and the most important thing I didn't hear you mention was the failsafe if u don't go into rx setup and turn. on failsafe and you pull lose an antenna in a crash and don't fix it correctly YOU WILL HAVE A FLY AWAY!!! trust me I know from experience and when your baby goes through the clouds. even if it does land at your feet there will be nothing left of her worth having so please tell ppl to set failsafe and make damn sure it is working I wouldn't wish what happened to me on my worst enemy thank you for reviewing this radio I always love hearing your opinion
same as any transmitter
I fly mine over all sorts of bushland and even if it failsafes id be fortunate to be able to find it.
I have one of these, and followed Chris Iforce's tutorial to upgrade it to 10 channel. Love it!
What does more channels do?
I have flown all my aircrafts on this radio from quads to Trex 600. Love it and trust it 100%. I have been using the same radio now for over four years with only two small issues. After year two one of the gimble spring broke which I replaced with a spring from a crappy jumper radio. Also the ok button started to stick after many use and probably rust from having rain get into it. The price on these are so cheap that I ordered two just for parts. The range on these things are amazing and the programming are so simple. I have since turned mine into a 10ch and have not look back.
Hi Bruce. Thanks for review of Flysky FS-i6 transmitter. Will you be doing a review on the Flysky FS-i10 to see how it would compare? I hope you find time to reply.
The FlySky FS-i10 would be a good comparison to the Taranus since they're priced much closer, but it seems like anyone spending that much money just goes FrSky route, due to support.
I know a guy that's lost 3 or so quads because of a FlySky receiver locking up during flight. Would be interesting if you could test the failsafe etc on this.
These are a great entry level radios. I would recommend to everyone but get the 10 channel version.
I'm beginner, after i saw your video i ordered one, my first quad is on the way (shipping),.. can't wait to use it :D
You'll love it. It was my first "real" radio system as well, and I use it on my Sailplane, my quad, and my car!
Thank you 😀👍. What about for trucks. Is it good for high end trucks?
I use this combo as well. Telemetry works great when you hook it up to a free UART and configure it in a custom cleanflight rom (the changes are quite minimal to default cleanflight). Only problem is you need two UARTs if you want to use ibus sensors and receiver at the same time (which is hard to do on a naze32).
There is some great work going on. I still need to do the 10ch firmware mod, I do need it somehow. I thought 6 would be plenty, but with all the modes you can configure in cleanflight... It is a must :)
Decent review, could have used a bit more research into the modding side of this rx/tx combo.
don't use naze 32
Nice review.
Thanks Bruce. Could you try updating the firmware and updating your review with the functionality of the new open firmware, which will for example include telemetry like RSSI and voice.
Is there a charge port to allow NIMH batteries to be used? Like the ENELOOP "AA" 4-PACK READY TO USE?
there's no charging port on the controller (if that's what your asking)
1:33 I prefer 4 x 1.5v cells used in cheap radios as you can simply solder on a JST connector and use a flat 2100 mAh 6.6v LIFE battery or smaller velcroed vertical on the back and even add a switch to use the internal batteries as a back up. I've found the cheap radios handle the 6.6v easy as even 4 cheap 1.5v "disposable" (not really if you end up drinking it excluding most politicians) batteries average 6.58v new and if I'm not going to fly for a week or two I remove the battery effortlessly to slow the batteries life time clock down and put it in a thick glass jar or metal ammo case with a desiccant placed in a cold refrigerator. Time to grow up and stop creating disposable batteries and politicians we don't want or need IMO. LIFEPO4 batteries ROCK!
7:38... no, leave it to the experts. An RC radio is NOT the device to learn electronics and programing on. Too many people that don't have a clue what they are doing put's other flyers at risk. But opening up a radio to ShoeGoo the wires where needed to stop the moving gimbal wires flexing at the end of the solder and adding flexibility without failure is a smart thing to do as long as you ground yourself... the wires DO break and better to get to it before it happens and ShoeGoo thinned down let's you do some fancy stuff when you learn how to use it in various viscosities. The soft foam feet on a JJ1000 will outlast the quad if you treat them with a 25 to 75% SGoo/Toluene solution. SGoo (NOT Goop) works wonders with soft foams even better than EPP. I don't own a hot glue gun and use SGoo in it's place at various viscosities. Downside is there's no free ride in a give and take and it needs to cure which requires more time than CA or Hot Glue. But try fixing a shoe with Hot Glue or epoxy and see how far you get...
This "menu system" is about 25 years old. Based on Flat Files of the 1990's . I don't
know what other Transmitter's look like but if they're not like our cell phones then
they are grossly overpriced. I know we're stuck w/ what they'll give us but every
bit of these radios could be contained in a small cellphone setup, & menu driven
by a Windows OP System. I'm curious why they're not? But it looks like this is
all they're allowing us to buy currently? peace
The switch wires inside my old JR XP9303 and XP8103 transmitters are also soldered with no reinforcement. Frsky is the only company I've seen that actually puts heatshrink over the solder tabs on the switches and pots everyone else even high end brands just solders the wires on and calls it good. The crimped connectors on the daughterboards should be alright with the wire flexing and also highly resistant to vibration. It's too bad they didn't just use daughterboards and crimped connectors on the switches and pots too.
you talk to much
thanks for the review i got one of these recently but couldn't really find any reviews this detailed
RCModelReviews do you have a devo 7 transmitter to do a walk throw showing how to set it up for quadcopters it comes factory set for helicopters lol and you dont get a booklet with it just a cd trying to understand it like reading a washing machine manual lol
If you turn off hfdpsa can you control wl toys drones. Say jjrc 1000a. Or compatible with v202 pub's.
its a cheap beginners radio. for about 36 euros you get what you pay for haha,. great in depth coverage , beginners might be put off though .and probably shouldnt open it up .good job .
He didn’t give you any of the features of the radio I don’t know what they’re talking about in their comments he review the electronics but none of the features of the radio 😬without words
But what about the FlySky Fs-i6s radio ?
What do you think guys? This radio, or a Walkera Devo 10 flashed with Deviation? Which is the better option?
How does the trainer system work? It has a trainer port but I dind't see a trainer switch or button. I'm not a fan of using a non-momentary switch for this function so I hope that's not how it works.
I have this radio, only thing I don't like is the ON/OFF switch as it is really hard to turn it on or off.
Yeah, I agree. Bruce probably didn't notice it with this particular unit because it's almost new, but after a few months that switch somehow gets slippery like butter, I often have to use my fingernail under the edge to slide it.
i6 vs 9x which is the better beginners radio as they are about the same price?
Hi Bruce, I have been using this Radio for 2 years now and get very good results even when flying FPV. I have upgraded it to 10 Ch's and replaced the Ant's with +5db whips. The radio does allow you to use RSSI or SNR it's a choice under "Sensors".. I have a question for you :) When the RX & TX are both side by side, what kind of RSSI value would you expect to get? I get 39db I would have thought I would get closer to 0db. Can this be calibrated ? ...Regards, Pete
How is the stick feel compared to your other radios? i find that stick feel and precision could be better on most radios.
Further to that - I've got four wires coming off the battery and there are three pins on the receiver (FS-iA6). So, what goes where??
The 4 in lipo part is for 3s balance charging, plugging that into your receiver could break it, the battery main lead plugs into the speed controller, and that has a battery elimination circuit or BEC, and so that three wire plug will power the reciever
Plug a servo lead into "Ibus servo" port and you get Sbus!!! Hehe. In the betaflight menus you select ibus and the latency is pretty close to frsky sbus... Plugs in the same, same uarts etc...
ibus is not much like sbus.
how can i arm motors i have tried throttle down right for 4 sec but it does not work please help me how can i arm motors
Wow! I've got to go stand in the corner now, and be ashamed.
(that's what we used to do with naughty children - before the PC era kicked in)
I'd seen Chris use his FSI6 and have been tempted to get one but the RadioLink kept catching my eye. I can get the AT10 for a hundred bucks and I've been hemming and hawing between the two. Your review of the AT9 really put me off of the RadioLink - just the sloppiness of the toggle switches killed it for me ...
I guess I should have read between the lines in that review - sorry.
You certainly covered all the bases with this one - I get it.
Again, sorry. But you know how us old guys are (he said with his nose pressed in the corner looking at the wallpaper ;-)
Hi Bruce, about bloody time that you did a review on this unit, lol. As a newbie I bought one a good few months ago to get into quadcoptering and it feels pretty good to use, reliable, great battery life (even for those little cells) and pretty responsive to fly with. It only ever comes in a package with the FS-IA6 not the B version as you stated but that aside it is a really good 'First' TX for all RC hobbyists, the money I saved on not buying an expensive one I put into extra batteries, another quadcopter and increased the fun aspect no end, money saved meant a lot more fpv fun
I am loving your channel and have been an avid viewer since getting into FPV, keep up your good work and kudos to you for helping me out with some of your technical vids and 'how to' info, just what I needed to know !
You have both options when placing an order. I got mine from Banggood with the B version. I wasn't sure which type to get at the time and after a bit of reading whilst waiting a week for delivery from China to the UK via free postage, am happy that it looks like I made the right choice. Looking forward to Bruce's other video once he has had time to get used to this bit of kit.
iam using the same radio and hacked to 10chanel. i love it coz its cheap
Hi there, could you tell me the correct way to plug in from the battery to the B/VCC pins? I've burnt out the original and don't want to burn out the replacement!
Should not review something you know nothing about .
i got this radio with a rtf amazon clone kit and my range is horrible. about half an american football field.
bruce please review the flysky/turnigy i10 turnigy being the re-branded flysky
Can this radio be used with a X4r receiver? Looking for the cheapest transmitter possible that will work with an X4r.
Great radio. I've had one for about a year. Does most everything I want except for RSSI. Hard to complain about for US$50. Fail safe is pretty hairy, though.
is this transmitter compatible with futaba receivers?
wow you did it again. i was looking at this last night trying to decide if i wanted it and then i get up today and you have a review. after this review i will probably get it now. thanks
Does anybody know if the I6 works with EZHhf? I've got a couple of these lying around that came with quads that I reviewed, and I recently hooked one up to my Traxxas Stampede to get a couple of extra channels to play with (I could never get the Stampede to work with my Spektrum for some reason). Now I'm thinking I'd like to switch over to EZUHF on the Stampede, and it seems to work well with the I6 so I'd like to use that if it works with it.
Hi Bruce, curious why give a the AT9 a negative comment for having sliders, and then you give the Flysky a minus for not having them. FinalGlide said he liked the feel of the sticks on the Flysky more than the Tarranus.
I have been setting up my new fly sky fs-i6. The firmware version is 1.1 27-mar-2015. That seems a little old. Does it need to be updated?Thanks
www.rcmoment.com/aircraft-receivers-transmitters-2131%2Fp-rm7443.html?aid=youtubebe Flysky FS-i6s 2.4G 10CH
Hey mate, you seem like the right bloke to ask, any recommendations for a semi-noob pilot like myseld, flying low end 4ch-6ch helis and might get into planes, what tx should I look into getting? Was like at the orange tsix floating around on ebay shipping from HK, seems like a decent budget tx, or should I look at something else? Appreciate any feedback.
Flysky are the worst when it comes to FW updates =þ. Strange thing, as they bother with features like updating receiver FW through the transmitter. But I still like their car radios, great value for money, seems like their air radios are too. Thanks!
really wish someone would make a Turnigy 9x "replacement"
seems like the closest thing is the Taranis, and that easily costs like 3-4x what a base 9x costed. think I picked mine up for what, 35$?
also looks to me like the best option for anyone looking for a serious radio is the Taranis X9D plus "SE". hope to pick one up soon unless something else comes along... just updated my 9X from ER9X to Open TX and so far I'm loving it even more...
If you want a backup radio, buy it, and dont care what others say about you, which screams CHEAP, all over the place, then go for it. Showing up at the field w a Flysky radio is the same as showing up to a club ride w a Wal-Mart bike frame w Dura-Ace upgrades, cheeeeeaaaaapppp!
You are serious about the hobby, you want to enjoy every minute of the flying time, the only one thing between you and the aircraft is the controller, nothing nicer than holding a nice plush high quality transmitter, it DOES make a difference. As a backup or for cheapie setup foamies, ok, but nothing else.
Hi Bruce, can you help me on how to add more switches, 2 & 3 position ones, to the FS-i6?
I have one of this flashed with the 10ch software but now i missing 2 switches (or more, if possible), I´ve swop already the VAR to a FrSky 6 position knob for the gain of the 3 axis gyro and the VRB to a 3 position switch to change the flight modes in the gyro, the 2 left buttons (2 position ones) are used for the dual rates and motor reverser and the right side ones are used for the flaps (3 position one) and motor cut off (2 position), now if i want to add channel mixes, lights, candy drop... i still have free channels but no more buttons.
Can you give me some help (guidance) in here in how to do it.
Thanking you in advance.
Sergio Lopes
I got one of these as a backup radio for my TGY-i10........ I hate to say it, but after updating to the 10 channel firmware, the i10 is now used as a backup for this one !!!!
My only criticism of the i6 is that those bloody standard stick nuts are thumb shredders. I quickly replaced them with "Umbrella style" caps...... Much nicer to use.
Hello,
You could maybe have linked to the wonders other ppl have done with this TX. I am thinking not only of iforce2d's tests, but also Benbojangle's dev, and much more...
Is it possible to use the frsky dht in this radio
I'm doing my level best to not being a pain in the rudder here! You'll have guessed by now that I'm a beginner, and have had nothing at all to do with radio control systems - I'm a retired carpenter and make the occasional guitar. My latest investigations into the problem at hand seems to suggest that I should have plugged the line from the ESC into the receiver rather than the charge balance plug. Could this be the solution to my woes??
Do people really get 1-2 km of range with this TX? I cannot get more than cca 500m.
MiG FPV u can watched iforce2d video, reaches 2.3km no mod.
just received mine in the mail from Banggood , I'm new to flying fixed wing models , and for first attempt purchased a SonicModel 600mm mini racing wing. Had it set up in 10 minutes everything seems ok .........just waiting on some EPP foam glue to show up to assemble the wing ready to test fly it ............wish me luck
Hello Bruce, I'd like to fit Taranis sliders to my TX. Banggood have them for a few dollars, any chance of a tutorial for us electrical numpties? or is it as simple as unsolder a knob and replace with a slider and find some way to fit it to the side / back?
The FS-i6's big brother the FS-i10 is an amazing radio and goes for around $170. That's about the same as a Taranis but you can also get Sbus/CPPM capable receivers for it for around $10 which is less than half what an X4R-SB costs.
Also, while sbus would be nice, ibus is supported on cleanflight, betaflight, and dronin (openpilot fork), and there are better digital outputs for receivers to copy anyway - sbus's inverted signal makes it a pain to use anywhere but on an f3 board, or flight controllers with inverters on one of the uarts.
Hi Bruce my version looks the same but says TURNIGY on the front,,,how many re brands are there ? Really enjoy your vids, Thank you.
Thank you for this video. Is there a way that I could turn off the transmitter and just use this as a training controller hooked up to the PC - I do this, but I don't want it transmitting for no reason. I used a multi-meter from the positive battery wire to each terminal on the transmitter and I didn't find connectivity. Thoughts? thank you .
I have one of these. It's great to use and easy to set up. I use rechargeable AA's. I have fitted a charge socket so I can charge them from my battery charger without taking the batteries out.
Would be interested in seeing that hack done to enable correct telemetry voltage. I have the same transmitter but I think my receiver doesn't have the B on it. Which ones can be hacked and such...
Great review! I'm just a little bit worried by the spectrum analyzer results. I'm assuming that the newer I6X would give the same results? The FrSky output looked so much better to me and provides some peace-of-mind; especially with higher cost models. Do you know if the FrSky QX7 would yield the same output and band usage?
looked at modding mine to take a lipo but will just settle with some AA sanyo eneloops
I got this and hooked up the rear connector to a mono audio jack and am using it with PicaSim and SmartPropoPlus as a cheap Flight Sim before I try the real thing.
That could make a nice video as the only other one doesn't cover the soldering and testing.
Simple firmware update turns it to 10 channels transmitter.
really pre-judged poor review
Bruce that radio already been replaced wit i6s same price but 10ch and touch screen , iv got both now and i6 never cause any problems for me
thanks for review
Hello:
Thanks Bruce for the review.
This is my 2nd year on this radio, and they were no reviews what so ever on this thing back around December 2014 when I was looking to buy it.
And mine came with the regular IA6 receiver. The IA6 is a "Park Flyer" receiver, which they state to be less than 500 Meters. And the IA6B is a "Full Range" receiver, which they state to be great than 500 Meters. And I have the IA6 in my Great Plane "Spectra" sailplane. And I haven't any problems with it all. And I am putting in the IA6B in my Sig Riser 100 that I am building now.
I don't know if anyone has mentioned here. But to save any setting on this radio, you have to hold down the cancel button to save.
And with the Turnigy brand, everything works the same.
Bottom line for me is, it is a great little beginners radio and if you like me is on a set income. It is a nice purchase. And I have seen some high end radio's out at the club that had problems losing signals and I fly in the same place they do. And also, if you do some googling. You will find a all english version of the manual.
which quads are compatible with flysky are micro quads compatible
Does this model have all 4 modes?
Hi, you said you love sliders and miss them on this TX but on the AT9 review you are not a great fan of sliders, Not a big deal just a little confused now.
I orderd me this one too, and lovin it. Only a sin the manual is niet userfriendly.
Once i figured uot how to programm it, it becomes better and better.
I took it already for a flight and it handles great.
Awesome radio!
