FlySky FS-i6-M2 2.4GHz 6-Channel Transmitter

Great controller especially if your on a budget.You can mod the firmware for customizing it for hardcore quadcopters.The joysticks are made up of very quality aluminum. Very responsive. I have used with an arduino and it worked awesome. Switches are quality. pots are quality.The only annoying thing is the beep when your going through the menu, or low battery alarm. But you can easily change the parameters of the low battery alarm.I actually removed the buzzer as the battery voltage is displayed on the screen. so for my projects i woulding need it.Well worth the money! I would buy another one if i needed to. EXACTLY like the DX6i. same distance.If this review was helpful Please click the button!

Unless the item arrived physically broken... there should not be any complaints whatsoever on this radio. Even if someone didn't get a manual or had a misprint in the manual. For the price, and for the amount we all paid for it, it should not get anything less than 5 stars. If there is no mention of a function within the menu, it should still get 5 stars as its meant to be an economy radio with the focus on that... an economical and fully functional radio. If this were a Futaba 6ch radio, then yes, i'll complain about even the smallest details... misprints, misspelled words etc.Great radio! It is plastic, but in not cheap plastic... at all. Very solid, well built, knobs and buttons are solid as well. It does take AA batteries, so I'm already looking into refitting it for lipo.I'm happy.

I had heard a lot about this radio and what a great deal it is. I gave it a quick test and then did a software update to make it a 10 channel radio. Even without the update, it is a very flexible radio with numerous programable adjustments such as mixing servos. After the update, it easily bound with FlySky's 10 channel receiver. I highly recommend buying the "FlySky Firmware Update Data Cable" to properly and safely update the transmitter. I purchased the cable on ebay for about $7 including shipping. The best reason for getting a legit cable instead of the DIY examples on youtube, aside from the safety factor, is that there are other uses for the cable. For example, if you own or want to use an RC flight simulation program on your PC, this cable allows the FlySky radio to be used with software such as RealFlight8.

A cost effective and overall great product. The transmitter feels a little cheap, but its performance works just as advertised. I didn't have a problem binding the transmitter to the included receiver. Setting up the transmitter is also a breeze and there are ton of YouTube videos out there that will talk you step by step through the set up process. What I like about the transmitter is that if you do not have all of the control sticks and switches in the "neutral" position, it will sound a loud alarm prompting you to return the features to neutral. That can save your RC platform! Another thing I like is how the transmitter is incredibly lightweight. Carrying around a ton of gear can get very tiring, but when you have this transmitter in your kit, you can barely tell. It also keeps you from getting fatigued by holding it for long periods of time. If you want to add a lanyard to help support the weight, there is a convenient mount at the center of the controller awaiting a lanyard of your choosing. Overall, I say this product is a good buy. It's simple and relatively cheap (compared to other models), but performs great!

I love this product b/c it has several channels, great range, the receiver is compact, and the overall value of the product is 100% worth it. This is great for hobbyists, works GREAT for DIY projects. I Made a P-51 Mustang with this product, and it hasn't let me down yet.-It Does Come W/ A Receiver-Multiple Channels-Long Range-Great For DIY Projects100% recommend!

First time pilot, so it took me a few tries to bind my KingKong Tiny7 quad copter to the controller. Great controller, super responsive and allows me to fly in both acro and self level modes. The instruction booklet it comes with is useless, so it would be great if there were tutorials linked to the sales page. Great controller for the price.

Not sure if it will make my VTOL functional! if not ill still use it for another RC.

For 50 bucks you truly can't go wrong. This thing is SUPER slim and lightweight! Very easy to hold without a neck strap while standing. 4AA batteries had me worried since the T6 (previous version) used 8 and lifetime felt short for having 8 of them in there. NOT the case with this one! I swear, I get about 50% MORE range, better penitration thru trees and brush, just so many little things to mention that are nice, just know, Great radio for 50 bucks. Its no top end radio by a long shot, but its not 200 bucks either!
