Unfortunately i only run FrSky gear, this one is FlySky So what now? I am going to swap the hf module to a CC2500 transceiver module and write my own firmware for the FS-i6s! OpenGround will become the counter-part of my opensource firmware OpenSky that runs on FrSky receivers. I am not affiliated with Flysky or FrSky in any way. Just noticed that on the Hobbyking site under the FS-i6S, (not the Turnigy) there is a firmware update 2.0.0.54zip file. Strange to find it there and not on Flysky download site. I think i'll wait until it appears on Flysky. Don't want to brick my i6S. Flysky, we love your i6S but PLEASE COMMUNICATE with us to keep us informed.

The flysky series radio is an excellent beginner radio as they are cheap and have great features. These are often bundled with ready to fly quadcopters, sometimes they are setup correctly by the seller, but usually the arrive with stock settings. This guide will show you how bind and setup your flysky radio for your FPV quadcopter.
In this guide, I am using the flysky FS-i6 radio with the latest firmware, but all the menus and functionality are the similar across the other flysky radios (FS-i6, FS-i6S, FS-i6X).
A model is a profile on your radio that you use for each of your aircraft, and saves all the settings specific to that aircraft that you have setup. This is great as it lets you use the same radio controller on multiple aircraft.

Unless you are more than 5 fingers, it is rather difficult to precisely rotate these knobs while flying to change flight modes or other parameters. So we assign the Aux channels to switches on the radio.

The basic principle for all flysky receivers is the same, but some specifics might differ from model to model. Some receivers use a bind button, others use a bind plug, so take note for your specific receiver.
If you find that your RX does not bind, it may be because it does not support AFHDS 2A, so disable that in the RX Setup
menu and try again. You also might want to try to enable and disable the PPM output option in the same RX Setup
menu. If you are stuck, ask on our forums!
Having a failsafe is important in case your quadcopter loses signal with the radio, the quadcopter will know and can take appropriate action, instead of just flying away.
System setup > RX Setup > Failsafe

, and press the OK
button.So that’s how you get your flysky radio properly setup to fly a quadcopter. If you have any questions let me know in the comments below or ask on the dronetrest forums.
