FlySky FS-i6 RC Transmitter

The FlySky FS-i6 RC Transmitter includes all of the most important features you need to have a blast flying mini quads without a lot of compromises.

FlySky FS-i6 RC Transmitter Description

The FlySky FS-i6 RC Transmitter is very thin and lightweight and the antenna is encased in hard plastic. This type of antenna is also really valuable for packing your equipment away. It is hugely beneficial to be able to simply throw all your gear in a big backpack so you can go for a hike with it or walk long distances to the field. This transmitter is compact enough to do that and has an antenna that does not need reinforcement.

The radio comes with digital trims for the 4 flight axes. It has 3 2-position switches, 1 3-position switch, and two-knob inputs. In addition, the configuration menu is very well filled out with features. It includes all the basics like reversing, EPA adjustment, dual rates, expo, mixing, throttle curves, etc. You can use this radio for any aircraft – RC Helis, airplanes, and of course quadcopters.

Speaking of telemetry – another neat feature of the radio is that the RX and TX seem to have some sort of synchronized settings feature. You can change RX settings like failsafe values, telemetry, iBUS ports, etc from the TX with the RX powered off. Once the RX is powered on these settings sync across and immediately take effect.

Finally, the binding process was also refreshingly easy. Simply plug in a bind plug on the RX and power it up. The indicator light should flash red. Next, power up the FlySky FS-i6 while holding down the Bind Key. The indicator light on the RX will turn solid red and binding is done.
