If you want to use rechargeable batteries checkout using LiFePO4 AA batteries. You only need two plus two dummy batteries. You get the full 6 volts unlike NiMH which over four drops down to 4.8 when fully charged. One drawback is that the low battery warning does not give much time to land before the Tx runs out of power. This is because of the discharge curve characteristics.
Sorry to tell you that but I have the latest firmware on my i6s and there is no dual rate on this transmitter only rate and expo,wish that in the future they will come with an update for dual rates
I'm pretty sure we could just get a separate voltmeter/alarm to tell us when it's low. But yeah LiFePo4 seems like the best battery chemistry to use for these radios.
Thanks for great informative videos. I have just received i6s with v.3.0 firmware. When I go to sticks adjust I can never get out of that screen or return to previous screen. I have to power off and turn on again. Is that normal?
ciao painless 360 spero che vedrai presto questo messaggio,perché vorrei aiuto. Ho acquistato questa radio in novembre 2017 ma non riesco a fare il firmware,ho provato a scaricarlo da banggood ma non funziona e ho provato il tuo link e non funziona,l'applicazione non vede la radio e la radio rimane bloccata,per spengnerla devo togliere una pila.Hai qualche idea? Grazie per la tua disponibilità e cortesia. Ciao.
hi, i am trying to do this fairly straight forward procedure but the upgrade program is not finding the TRAMSMITTER when connected via usbr there for i cannot upgrade the firMWARE. any idea why ???
Hi I have a flysky i6S (all silvery one) TX and am trying to hook up the Banggood Multiprotocol Chinese TX module but cannot find a good +6-12V pad to solder to. I found the PPM_OUT and a good ground - any idea where the +V_Out would be or be labeled?
I have seen other videos where people use this module with the flysky i6, so hopefully I did not make an error assuming the i6s will just work the same.
Thank you for this video however i have a question is it possible to set up the dual rates to a switch ie have low rates flip a switch and have high rates on the radio I cant figure out how to configure this thanks in advance
Thanks for taking the time to check such a simple over look on there part I hope they will add in the next firmware update. for me I feel this is the only thing missing overall this radio is great. I see the just now are about to release a micro ibus receiver for it.
Ideally around 1.5km in ideal conditions. It's probably antenna alignment or the antennas on the model being shielded.. See my antenna series. Happy flying
+Florian Veltmann it should connect automatically and load a driver that makes it appear as a game controller in Windows.. I'd check the USB cable. Best of luck!
I have been using it as a game control via USB mode. I play RC Simulation 2.0 and the fixed wing aircraft fly much better with the FlySky FS-i6s than the Xbox controller. CHEERS!
Did you find a solution to this? Same problem with mine. Have tried different cables.The PC do register that the control is hooked up, but the Flysky update software do not register the controller.
+im2tall1 a lot of these radios are not coming out with easy heli setups. Even OpenTx doesn't do a great job. This radio is more for the entry level quad pilot without those external trims are more advanced mixes and settings. Let Flysky know it's something you want. If they are asked enough they may make the effort. Happy flying!
Painless360 I'm just gonna wait for the Horus! I'm assuming the Horus will have a swash setup as a option! I'm not sure but,I think I saw a model option in one of the vids,and a Heli was one I could be wrong.It would really suck if I waited all this time,and could've just bought a Jeti.
I have this Radio but it won't do the firmware upgrade. can someone help. Tried different PCs different cables and still the PC won't recognize it. thanks!
Painless360 find me on Facebook I didn’t manage to catch you at ma4 but I have found a really easy way to sort this out that I think you would want to share with everyone Phill Parslow
+Universal Video you can, but it's not ideal. The lack of trim tabs by the side of the main controls mean that the traditional way of trimming a plane in flight isn't available here.
I feel pretty dumb having bought this radio. It seems to be a cooler looking version of the i6 with less than half the features and 10% of the receivers

Just received a new FS-i6S from BangGood and it came with version 2.00 software already installed (and the throttle fix!)
+dri50 glad they are listening! Happy flying!

Thanks for another amazing tutorial, very explanaroty and worthy of my first ever comment on RUclips.

+justin vaughn Sorry, I've not tried it here. Best of luck with it!
Thank you for this video however i have a question is it possible to set up the dual rates to a switch ie have low rates flip a switch and have high rates on the radio I cant figure out how to configure this thanks in advance
I've just sat playing with it to see if you can and their doesn't seem to be a way to set that up on a switch. Best of luck!

curious as to the sbus latency on TGY-iAC when compared to Taranis
+riosllc we've not got those here. Let me know what you find out. Best of luck!
Hello sir
Please tell me about range of this remote controller. I have same remote i get beep sound when my quad goto distance about 500meter.
Ideally around 1.5km in ideal conditions. It's probably antenna alignment or the antennas on the model being shielded.. See my antenna series. Happy flying
Hi why this radio is only one mix
I see the i6x radio is 3 mix
hi mate can you please do a video explaining FLY MODE on this transmitter on the main screen.Thanks
Great idea - will do! Stay tuned!
ruclips.net/video/l-OTKBzThPs/видео.html :D
Hello , is it possible to set dual rates an a switch ? I can't find a way .
See my series on this radio - I cover it in there... (ruclips.net/video/s2L859C2K_E/видео.html)
I can't see if and how you can adjust a switch for dual rates on and off . That is what i am asking
I can't connect the transmitter to PC. I tried so much, but it don't work. Do you have a solution?
+Florian Veltmann it should connect automatically and load a driver that makes it appear as a game controller in Windows.. I'd check the USB cable. Best of luck!

hello is what the fs-i6s has a deltaplane/élevon mod ?? thanks!
Not that I've seen..
Ok thanks !!😁
Will this work with the emax tinyhawk freestyle
That normally only has a FrSky compatible receiver that won't work with A Fly Sky radio... See my review of it..
Somebody needs to tell those guys,they need a helicopter mix,or can you show how to setup the mixes to achieve collective control??

I have this Radio but it won't do the firmware upgrade. can someone help. Tried different PCs different cables and still the PC won't recognize it. thanks!
+Ray Galarza the firmware is specific to the manufacturers version of the radio. See the other videos on the radio. Happy flying!
How does this compare to the turnigy evolution?
See the i6s playlist. The FS/TGY-i6s is a larger radio with more switches, more in the menus and runs from AA cells.. Happy flying!
the evolution you can charge right?
+Michael Guest yep, see the review of it.. best of luck!
Thanks!
can I use this radio to control a trex 500 with flybar?
+Sem te Vruchte no swash mixing on this radio...
Painless360 so not possible?
+Sem te Vruchte If you can fly your help without any swash mixing then it'll work..
can you do a How to elevon mix or deltawing please
Very tricky on this radio I'm afraid..
Painless360 Is it posible? i have been trying and the only way ive found is by tuning the transmitter 45°, though i wouldnt try flying that way
Painless360 find me on Facebook I didn’t manage to catch you at ma4 but I have found a really easy way to sort this out that I think you would want to share with everyone
Phill Parslow
Elhebrito yes I have buddy
I desperately need elevon setup for my eachine blackwing :(
Can I use this for rc planes
+Universal Video you can, but it's not ideal. The lack of trim tabs by the side of the main controls mean that the traditional way of trimming a plane in flight isn't available here.
does this firmware work on the tgy i6s?
+Jamie Braham no. See other replies here..
can you fly a wing airplane with this transmitter
+Scavenger 177 there isn't a setup for elevons in the menu so I'd say not easily..
Yes there is
Hey all, does anyone know of a way to do an elevon mix for flying wings on this radio? I've got the Turnigy i6s version
Sadly not, this isn't designed for that realty. There are more firmware updates in the works so let's hope they add a simple plane mixer.
I feel pretty dumb having bought this radio. It seems to be a cooler looking version of the i6 with less than half the features and 10% of the receivers
What is the model mode after the firm ware update
Mine was still mode 2...
Painless360 no, what is that model mode
Sorry, still not following..
