Flysky is definitely a awesome radio, I had it for 4 years and still flying with it. My jumper crashed on me after 2-years. I would definitely recommend Flysky any day.

[AsgardStudios]

Excellent recommendation! Much appreciated. Ordering mine next week.

Was at the home of an elderly person who had been involved with both airplanes and helicopters, he had bought one of these to test. He said he ended up selling all the others except his 24-channel. He said that this is a real good radio.

I got a little thingy with the receiver that has a little plastic pokey bit on one end and another connector that can plug into the receiver. What is it?

I have about 2 dozen drones, ranging from a $60 drone to a $2500 homebuilt drone, and I own probably a dozen radios. I bought the FS-I6X when I was on vacation and the airline lost one of my bags. I needed a decent radio on the quick so I could fly my drones on vacation. Luckily my drones were in two big pelican cases and my radio was packed with my clothes.
The only radio the local shop had in stock that met all of my needs, and that wasn't extremely expensive - the one in my bag was a $1200 radio, and if the airline was unable to find my bag, insurance would buy me a new one
So I bought it, and actually I've added a second one to my kit, and I use them specifically in areas where gear is at risk and/or I'm traveling.
I ended up liking the radio more than either of the high end tx's I own, and now, 4 years later, both of my high end radios are on a shelf gathering dust. I like the layout, responsiveness, weight, and price, considerably. I've gotten so used to the feel of the things that I prefer them over my others.
My favorite freestyle drone is one of my homebuilts, which I built on an x220s frame, with the solid CF plates, not the CF sandwiching the foam-like stuff the x220 devolved into. It's a wizard in name only, it's been highly modified, including an aerodynamic titanium battery box to protect the batteries during impacts. In fact I built a titanium exoskeleton for the wizard chassis, and I haven't lost anything but props since I made it.
I highly recommend the FS-I6X and the FS-IA6B. Its easy to forget they're a budget setup.
I'm a retired airline captain and former F-15C pilot, so ive traveled extensively, and for the last 10 years or so at least one drone has ridden along with me. The size and weight of the FS-I6X has made traveling much easier to manage.

I've been using my FS-i6 for close to three years now, and it's still going strong. I don't fly long rage but it works well for what I do. I've thought about upgrading several times but I haven't really been able to justify it!

[burstblader]

this guy deserves more subssss. thank you

[dmand]

Iv been flying 4 months I have a x9d plus flysky nirvana and I use my fsi6 lmfao it's like a flysky xlite and it was free in a rtf package

[rainsilversplash]

Great video! I am looking to just get into RC Flight, with a budget of about $150. I was looking at RTF kits and was not totally thrilled, but some of the PNP kits looked pretty cool, but had no transmitter. Well, I can by any of several pretty cool PNP kits, and this TX with an RX and still meet my budget! THANKS a *bunch!*

[mosesjh]

Thank you Adam! you are awesome! I'm getting i6X then

[darkracer]

07:40 one of my switches broke from storage.
it was forgotten in a corner of mess for a while.
and the 3 position switch broke off.
i still have it though. i might be able to glue it back in (after disassembly ofcourse. wouldn't want to glue the switch in position)

[FPVrare]

thanks mate i bought mine last year jan2018 until now still ripping ive even learned it from you from how making it to 10channels because it come with 8 in default the powerbank mod deym this radio really does what it really does for the price hope it help with other people out there choosing a beginners transmitter.

[Jasonoid]

Subbed, thanks for the tips on the radio, I currently have the FS-i6 non upgraded.

[Mekanikern]

I love this radio, and I've done a nice mod - I've changed out the three two-way switches for three-way switches just like the original three-way switch. Just change the switches, no other mods or software changes. It was a bit confusing at first that you have to turn on the last four channels, but other than that this radio has been excellent :)

[terriblegoatman]

What's the difference between the i6x and the normal i6, I have the i6 and saw this video after I ordered it, and it seems fine for now

[cephalonplant]

Thanks dude, this really helped just subbed

[CockroachFPV]
