GoolRCFlysky FS-i6 AFHDS 2A 2.4GHz 6CH Radio System Transmitter for RC Helicopter Glider with FS-iA6 Receiver Mode 2

I haven't bought a new transmitter in 30 years and was surprised by the quality and number of features for so little money. It's by far the smoothest radio I've ever owned which makes precision aerobatics easier. It has more programming features than I can use. I use servo reversing, end point adjustment and a little exponential which allows smooth flying with my squadron of 400 mm t-28 Trojans. It's vastly superior to the radios that originally came with the airplanes. Battery life is good with the NIMH rechargeables I'm currently using. Works great with the FS2A 4ch receivers.

I have quite a few R/C vehicles - mostly surface vehicles. When I first started into the hobby, I used a basic Futaba Attack 2 stick AM radio. As time has gone on, I have migrated over to pistol style radios and continued that with the jump to 2.4 GHz radios. As part of that, I have several FlySky pistol style transmitters and wanted to get a stick radio for nostalgia. After discovering this transmitter supports both their older AFHDS and newer AFHDS 2A protocols, I thought I would give it a try.The transmitter is pretty straightforward. Depending on setup you receive, you may want swap the sticks. This is pretty easy to do - it disassembles/reassembles pretty quickly with the appropriate screwdriver.The transmitter is comfortable enough for me. The menus are pretty straightforward - just know that to save settings you have to press and hold cancel. Battery life is OK - I use rechargeable AAs. I would like a dedicated charge port (which this does not have). Both protocols work fine and can be toggled from the menu.The value is outstanding - lots of function for the money. The functionality is good - minor gripe is the actual response feel. I end up dialing down some of steering expo to get a little bit more linear feel.

This transmitter gives you a number of advanced features for a very reasonable price. I use it in my rc sailboat. All the channels have end point setting and trim capability, and the unit displays the voltage at both the transmitter and the receiver, very helpful to know how your battery is doing when the boat is way out there.Transmitter is a manageable size to hold, no antenna to break off. I have owned fully customizable tx's as well as basic transmitters and for the money this one is hard to beat.Go online to download the user guide, nothing suitable is provided with your purchase. Mine came with a 6 channel receiver, bound at the factory. Worked a treat! Rx size is not as small as some out there, but should work in most situations unless you are flying a discus launch glider with a small nose to fit things into. End pins would be better for those conditions. (The pins on the rx are at 90 degrees to the rx body.)Perfect for my use.

You need to read the manual to make it work well and that will reward you well.

Worked great with my sailboat. Easy to use and adjust after watching the youtube video on how to use.

Great little remote. We have upgraded it with the 10 channel firmware and are using it on three different types of flysky receivers. I wish the center monitor holder / neck clip was a little more sturdy but it is doing the job. There is a quirk where to save in the menu system you need to hold cancel for a few seconds. That's confusing to get used to but otherwise it's fantastic.I have a monitor mounted to the center mount tab. The tab could be stronger but it is doing the job.We have 4 different quad profiles setup, they all work flawlessly and save individual configs for channels, failsafe, etc.Battery telemetry data from receivers can be shown on the remote (some soldering of receivers is required)Overall this is a perfect entry level remote. It gives you everything you need and gives you the ability to expand as you get more into the hobby.

It's nice. World well but not 10 channel out of the box. It takes diffacult programming to get it to do much. Cant seem to get help. Disappointed alot. But that's me.

This transmitter and receiver pack performs as well as I expected it to. This is my second transmitter from FlySky, I previously used the FlySky T6. As far as I can tell, it functions just as well as the T6 edition and includes some design improvements. The ability to save trim settings for different planes is an excellent feature (also possible on the T6).FlySky FS-T6 2.4ghz Digital Proportional 6 Channel Transmitter and Receiver ModelPros:Great for beginner useDesign changes - slimmer, different color, and less AA batteries (when compared to the T6)Easy to use interfaceBright screenEasy to bind the receiver to the transmitterGreat price!Cons:I wish the scroll selector, found on the T6 would have remained on this transmitter.Also, the receiver pins are exposed, allowing for easy damage unlike the T6 receiver which is encased with plastic for protection
