Surprised how cool this radio is, so many bells and whistles, was smiling the whole time I was testing it!! If you"re thinking of getting this radio, buy it from AsiaTees. So far very satisfied with FlySky and ATees!!! Great job!
The FS-iT4 is Fly Sky"s newest 2.4ghz radio system. This Fly Sky radio is loaded with tons of features that allow the user to easily configure their radio control model. The iT4 is capable of storing 20 models in its internal memory and has the ability to graphically represent all trim, exponential, and dual rate adjustments. The graphical representations are extremely useful in depicting how the car will react to the parameter changes. The switch and trim buttons surrounding the steering wheel are fully programmable allowing the user to program each specific button to do a specific task manually assigned. The steering wheel housing pivots allowing the driver to configure the steering wheel angle for the ultimate comfort. Comfort can be further enhanced by the removable rubber pistol grip. Two sizes of small and large are included in the radio package.
The FS-iT4"s large screen display features touch screen technology allowing greater convenience in parameter settings. A stylus is also included to protect the screen from scratches especially when your fingers are caked in grease, grim, and dirt from working on the vehicle.
There are many transmitter options available for mini quads. While many would recommend a high end transmitter, beginners might choose to save a bit of cash on selecting a TX. This is completely understandable when you don’t know if the hobby is really for you, and this is where the FlySky range comes in.
Disclaimer: this is NOT a sponsored post, we did not and will not get paid by Flysky for writing this guide. This article was created purely for the benefit of the FPV community, and with the hope that some people who have the passion but with a small budget can find a more affordable way to fly. A radio transmitter is often referred to as a TX, or radio controller. Make sure to check out our tutorial to learn the basics of radio transmitter and receiver.
FlySky provides the market with some of the most affordable radio control solutions available. The range is most suitable for people who are incapable of comprehending the addictive power of flying FPV mini quad… Sorry, I mean people who just want to ‘try it out’, and don’t require all the bells and whistles of something more expensive.
There are 4-channel transmitters available from FlySky, but while a 4-channel TX is fine for simple RC cars, boats and basic planes, we really need 6 or more channels to operate a mini quad.
Different TX and RX might be capable of different protocols. In this section we will give you some basic understanding of the protocols used by Flysky transmitters and receivers..
Below is our pick of the transmitters available from FlySky, those prefaced with a letter ‘i’ are the newer options, the number denotes how many PWM and PPM channels each supports. FS-TH9X
The Nirvana NV14 is developed together by Flysky and UndergroundFPV (UFPV). This is the latest offering in the Flysky radio lineup, featuring a gmaing pad style housing and a colour touch screen. It also supports external JR module and compatible with TBS Crossfire and Frsky R9M modules.
The Palatin is the latest offering in the Flysky premium lineup. It has many of the new features in the Nirvana but in a much more traditional style shell. It also supports the latest AFHDS 3 air protocol.
I have included the older FS-TH9X here because it’s worth mentioning that it is capable of running OpenTX. OpenTX is open source TX firmware, which is a powerful transmitter operating system. It allows you to change menu displays, welcome screens and various other options on your TX via LUA scripts.
The layout of the X could have done with a touch from the design team of the S but as they have stuck with the original form factor of the i6, this means that there are some design flaws that have re-emerged. The inclusion of the USB port on the S was great, but it has been frustratingly excluded here, this means that you will need to purchase a dedicated simulator adapter to use with your PC simulators.
The FS-i8 is the newest TX on the list from FlySky, and as the name suggests it offers 8 native channels, serving to fill the gap between the i6 range and the i10.
Borrowing heavily from the design of the i10, the FS-i8 isn’t the best looking TX available, (some will say that’s a gross understatement) but that can be put, in-part, down to the large TFT colour touch-screen.
I think the size of the screen may be useful if you don’t have great eyesight, but TFT screens of this size can be even more difficult to make out in bright sunlight than a backlit black and white LCD. I also think the touchscreen is more gimmick than actual functionality at this stage, though I’m sure we can expect to see more touch-screens providing a real improvement to user friendliness in future.
The FS-i10 is the top of the range offering from FlySky and provides 10 native channels with all the (5) knobs and (7) switches to make full use of them all. Like the i8, the i10 also utilizes a rechargeable LiPo battery and a USB port for charging, connectivity for sims and trainer functions.
The appearance of the i10 is a bit more classy than the red plastic of the i8, but again its face is marred by the massive touch-screen! The i10 and i8 both weigh in at 720g, almost double the weight of the i6S at 410g.
Thanks to Loopyroberts for his comment below confirming that the i10 does support the original AFHDS system, so you will be able to bind with older FlySky RX.
One point that has me worried about the i10 (and the i8 as well) is that there is no mention of how long the supplied rechargeable battery lasts. While using a LiPo to power the TX is a good idea (IMO), I think that the large screen might burn through the battery quite quickly.
The Turnigy Evo is not a Flysky TX, but we’d like to include it in this list because it uses the same TX protocol as Flysky TX’s, and it’s compatible with Flysky’s RX as well.
Receivers are where FlySky would most benefit from adding a few more solutions to their range, they are lagging behind the market leaders when it comes to full featured micro RX options.
So much in this hobby is a balancing act, “motor KV” vs. “prop size”, “battery weight” vs. “flight time”, and FlySky receivers are no different. You will be required to do a bit of ‘balancing’ to ensure that you get the features you are expecting from your RX…
The older models in the FlySky RX range are prefaced with the letters ‘iA‘ and are relatively large and heavy, weighing between 15 and 20 grams! As keeping weight down is critical in a mini quad, I have excluded the bulky options to focus on these lighter weight solutions.
The FS-RX2A, can be considered an updated A8S and is one of the smallest RX made by FlySky at the moment. It weighs in at 1g, and measures only 12mm x 15mm to gift the market with a true micro FlySky RX. The
Another compact and light weight receiver option and with AFHDS2 protocol support. No telemetry, but supports both PPM and iBUS protocols. Compatible with popular radios such as the Turnigy Evolution, FlySky i6S. It also supports failsafe in iBUS. Protocols : PPM, iBUS
The Eachine Minicube Flysky RX is a great option for outdoor models between 100mm and 180mm due to its 20x20mm mounting pattern, and pre-installed buzzer.
This receiver was designed together with UndergroundFPV for Flysky Nirvana NV-14. It has diversity antennas and works in AFHDS 2A protocol. Outputs PPM / i-Bus / S-Bus signals. Protocols : SBUS PPM iBUS
I think that for FlySky, telemetry has been a bit of an afterthought, and when most newer FCs come with an integrated OSD, who can blame them if they are focussing sales towards the FPV market? In reality though telemetry can be considered one of the ‘bells and whistles’ I referenced earlier, and for the beginner is not a necessity by any means.
As you can see, when using a FlySky RX there can be some sacrifices that must be made to ensure you have an operational failsafe. Failsafe is probably not as critical to an indoor model or a micro that you use in the garden, but it is far more important than telemetry. For some reason the most suitable RX FlySky make for larger models (the FS-X6B) only provides a failsafe on the older PWM protocol, which is nonsensical in my view.
The selection of RX that I have detailed above are the cream of what Flysky currently have to offer for mini quad and micro quads, but there are pro’s and con’s to each.
On the other hand, I honestly have to say that out of all the Flysky TX we’ve seen so far, the Flysky i6X is the one I would choose for flying a mini quad. The FS-i6X is inexpensive, provides 10 channels, and can operate on both AFHDS and AFHDS-2A systems. It’s compatible with iBUS/SBUS receivers as well as the older PWM and PPM receivers.
My next pick would be the Turnigy Evolution, and the Flysky i6S is also a pretty good choice if you don’t mind the missing physical trim buttons and lack of support for older AFHDS receivers.
The i8 and i10 offer more native channels and are well provisioned with switches, however despite the attempt to integrate the updated technology of a touchscreen, I feel that these 2 fail to provide much actual improvement over the i6X.
It makes sense for FlySky to include these options in their range, however they are catering for the affordable end of the market. Since the introduction of the FrSky Taranis QX7 at a similar price point to the FS-i8, there is now some stiff competition at the $100 market level.
Other options for those that are unsure about committing to a single RC system are starting to hit the market now. There are multi-protocol TX and external modules to support a bind with FlySky, FrSky, Futaba and Devo RX as well as many toy grade quadcopters out there.
I wish Flysky would support OpenTX with their radios, as it allows for more freedom of customization and settings. Another super useful feature that is missing is the LUA script that has been popular with the Frsky Taranis, which allows the pilot to conveniently change PID, rates even VTX settings from the radio.
