Flysky FS-i6S RC Transmitter with FS-iA6B Receiver

I love it. The transmitter works and feels great. I think the quality of the plastic and the molded side inserts is great. Way better than I expected. I have had this for several months. Part of me regrets not going ahead and buying the Tyrannis, but, it was an additional $40 I didn't want to spend. This transmitter is perfect for beginners getting into mini quads. If you have some extra cash, I would look at the $100 Tyrannis instead. The only reason is for the added features and wider use in the community. If you don't care about that, you won't be disappointed by this at all. I have never had an issue with range, but have only flown within 500ft of myself, so I can't speek to that.Connecting to the computer is super easy for sims, but it does use the on board AA batteries.

I have owned this tedious for about 5 years now. It is an amazing radio and since the upgrade with dual rates and easier mixing. I started out with quads and moved to fix wing. I have had no issues. I also have a spectrum DX8 Gen 2, and a Radiomaster TX12. This radio is easier to use than the spektrum with many more receiver options at a better price point. I have never went out of range flying LOS. The added telemetry is something you only find in high end or open source transmitters. Even the $400 spektrum needs add ons for telemetry. Only the Radiomaster comes close in quality and value.

Worked as it should. The controller is not that high quality contruction wise, but I needed it for my drone class i took in college. It did its job and its easy and straight forward to use.

For sixty bucks, this is a great value! I use it for a robot car; I only need gas and steer from the left/right sticks, but I also need the other switches to change various modes (whether in manual/auto drive mode, whether to turn on/off camera recording, e-brake, lights, adjustment, and so forth.)The receiver it comes with outputs 6 channels of PWM data, but it also has a serial port that outputs 10 channels of data at 115,200 bps. I find reading the serial data much more robust than PWM, anyway, so this is a fantastic option (google "ibus" to find the spec -- it's very simple!)The one caveat is that it eats batteries. Four AAs only last a few hours, which is a problem when using it on the bench for development. It has a USB input to use it as a USB game controller (!) but it still needs battery power to run, it doesn't run off USB when plugged in. There is no re-chargeable option, which I think is a real bummer. I ended up soldering in an external power input and plugged it into a 10000 mAh power bank.

I bought this for a decent range of 1000 meters. Very easy to control, and comfortable to hold. I thought the setup is pretty straight forward and it binds under a second. Looks good as well, I like the design, however it doesn't have the usual switches that transmitters have for setting trim along the joysticks, that will depend on how you want to program your remote though. There are two trigger buttons on the backside of the remote that you can program as well. This is the second transmitter/receiver pair that I have setup and I would recommend this set to anyone getting into the hobby. The only alteration I made to the controls was removing the spring to the throttle so it wouldn't auto center (the throttle), It still auto centers the Yaw. Has battery alarm for your drone as well, I would still recommend adding a warning buzzer though.

I'm digging this radio. Although I'm not new to tc flying, this will be my first racing drone build. I don't want the cheapest so I don't have to upgrade much but I wanted to stay cheap enough that if I break something or grow tired of it then I am not out of pocket much. At $63 this radio is excellent and feels a lot like the radio that comes with the DJI Phantom series. So far I've only used it on the Liftoff simulator but after a few days I feel that I can begin my drone building and start flying. I will update on the receiver when the drone is completely.

PROS: Excellent radio out of the box! Packed with far higher priced features of other transmitters. Also easy to modify! I purchased a base white model, disassembled & painted it (not recommend for the average Joe, just buy black if you don't have some previous skill in this area) I added 2 external antenna ( just a personal preference the internal antennas worked great btw and give the radio a great feel in small form factor) Added some thumbsticks from an Xbox controller (again, preference. I'm a thumber not a pincher) and used an old gopro mount for my eachine D800 fpv monitor/goggle with built in dvr & vx rx ALL THIS AT A FRACTION OF THE COST!CONS: Are few but I'll list them. The thumbsticks are actually a very pink color & unless you're into "pink" they gotta go! Also still waiting for a firmware update to include head tracking support as the radio has ppm mode as a menu option and the port is installed which rockets this already great product to the next level as soon as that head tracking firmware is available.

I bought this flash guy transmitter and additionally a 10 channel receiver to put in a top race excavator that I had installed a complete hydraulic conversion the controls for the tracks had absolutely no neutral to them and that was the only choice you had on the radio with the joysticks taking up so many of the other functions they controls on channel 7 and 8 had no neutral and as soon as you plug the battery in or turned on the switch the tracks would start rotating and you would operate the controls but could not get the tracks to stop going one way or the other but other than that the radio itself touch screen programmable in many aspects of the remote control system at very reasonably priced but for the very purpose I bought it for it was useless I will keep it anyway and use it on a machine that only requires five or six channels
