This comment is for anyone who wants to learn how to. !!!!!!! I just wanted to say, reading something is one thing but understanding what you read is another thing....this man Andrew ,takes the time to show you how to do it and once I watched it I know how to do it.

I have purchased 4 of these radios and this has been my go to video. Thank you sooo much. I hope you are still flying and enjoying life. Good health, love and wealth!! 🍻

Thanks Frosty, happy and healthy here.

Just wanted to add that I went through your video carefully last night and was able to successfully program the throttle safety switch, the the dual rate switch and the accompanying expos, what looked a little intimidating at first is turning into an interesting journey. Thank you, Andrew. I didn't buy the Taranis QX7 because of the programming involved at start up, I kinda wish I had I had gone for it now. But this Flysky FS-is6X is better than I am right now and I won't be afraid to upgrade when I have a good reason to do so down the road. Cheers and many happy days to you, sir.

Great to hear that Brooks. It's still a great radio with amazing range.

I watched your rate and expo part and adjusted the settings to give me less sensitive in the sticks thank you you explain how to do this very well...

Once again you've concisely answered the question I had! Building my first plane w flaps and wasn't sure exactly how to do it with my FlySky radio. Thank you Andrew!

Howdy, Andrew. Greetings from Texas. Job well done, sir. As a beginner, I went with your beginner recommend radio, the updated version FS-is6X, very affordable, after delivery I almost sent it back as I watched some of your subsequent videos on the Taranis Q7, but I am going to stick with my beginner guns here. Not a cost thing, just a "do I need to order all bell and whistles" thing as I revisit an old hobby from decades ago. I am presently flying the beginner 3 CH RTF "Sky Cruiser" pusher prop plane you reviewed earlier, I am happy to report that this plane ( in a cushy grass field) has survived multiple hard landings and a bona fide crash or two without a hiccup. Very good flyer/glider in calmer winds. Excellent range with the included radio. Impressive. I am awaiting delivery of the Dynam Hawksky V2 as the second plane and first with ailerons and paired to my FS-i6X / FS-iA6B combo. I am also building a Flite Test "Simple Cub" as I just love that design and historical scale appearance. I live close to several lakes, so I am thinking a "float plane" version here. Thank you, Andrew !

And ( A ) switch for normal and sport . That configuration just felt comfortable to me . My question is once it's set up does it stay set up ? And when I plug in the cable to both transmitters do I have to activate the trainer / student mode . Or does it recognize it automatically 🤔. And then when I unplug the cable does it automatically go back to normal mode ? Or do I have to turn the mode on and off every time I want to train one of the kids ? Thank you again for getting back to me . And for making the video, I had a lot of fun yesterday setting up a 3 of my planes . I have 12 planes more still in the attic . All of them with brushless motors and castle creation ESC's . I learned 2 days ago how to update the software on the ESC's . I couldn't remember how to program them with the transmitter so I bought the program card . And called the company and they helped me over the phone. They had not been update sense 2004 lol 😆. The boys are getting excited about flying . They are using the new simulator and learning all the terminology about the planes . They are so smart for 9 and 5 years old . Both A students in school.

I had a lot of fun using that radio as a controller, via SmartPropPlus (SPP) with the free flight sim PicaSim. A DIN plug is wired to a 3.5mm audio jack (pin 1 of the DIn to the tip of the jack, and sleeve to sleeve to connect ground) plugged to line-in. The Flysky works in PPM (Walkera) mode within SPP transmitter settings. Run SPP before starting Picasim. In the Joystick settings map the sticks and you've got a cheap flight simulator.

I was going to set up for flapperons but, I suppose I could use the elevons or Vtail options. Depends what Ch the servos are on. The mix will do the same thing. It's pretty much the same as my old Flysky T6, bar it uses less batteries & also supports afhds 2A. Still think holding 'cancel' is a bizarre way to save the menu settings & holding 'ok' seems to reset it. Think they always got that back to front tbh. Let's hope it lasts longer than my old FS T6. The screen crapped out after about 18 months. I got it working again, broken lines but readable, not worth the hassle when this was available, especially on sale half the price. FS GT3 is great, great screen & USB rechargeable lipo. That's what these 6 Ch + need. A least a charge port for the batteries. That's what I now use the back of the old T6 for.

You can use "Throttle hold" to set a safety switch for your throttle, leaving the other switch open for another function...

FlySky i6x transmitter All three receivers I have are the same. But only one produces that second bar tell me the battery life. At the battery in the airplane as well as the battery life in the transmitter. Aside from the numbers on the screen Which all three receivers showed those?
