flysky fs-it4s 2.4ghz lcd touch screen supplier

Redcat Racing, the premier source for quality Gas, Nitro and Electric powered RC vehicles, announces their new role as a North American distributor for select FLYSKY radios.

This exciting move, to distribute FlySky radios, gives Redcat customers the option to easily upgrade their RTR radio to a more advanced computer style radio with more adjustments for different driving styles. Redcat currently offers four Flysky 2.4GHz surface radios, and one Flysky 2.4GHz aircraft radio. Additional FLYSKY radios will be added to the line up in the coming months.

The FS-i10 aircraft radio is truly an amazing radio. Not only does the i10 use 2.4GHz AFHDS 2 (automatic frequency hopping 2nd gen), but it is also lightweight, comfortable to hold, and includes a stylus for use on the touch screen display. The 8-switches and 5-knobs offer precise control and tuning options, while the temperature sensor, voltage sensor, and speed sensors feed the user useful information about the performance of the aircraft. All of this is now available through Redcat Racing.

The FS-iT4S is a highly advanced surface radio. Not only does it use the secure 2.4GHz AFHDS 2 (automatic frequency hopping 2nd gen) technology, but it also has outstanding ergonomics. The unique swinging steering panel, and angled touch screen make this radio a pleasure to hold. The FS-iT4S is a huge jump up from the radios included with RTR cars, trucks, and boats. The FS-iT4S is now available for purchase at the Redcat Racing website.

The FS-GT3C is the perfect mix of economics and performance. We see the FS-GT3C as being the most popular radio upgrade for racers and hard core bashers alike. This solid radio has everything you need in a computer radio, and nothing you don"t. The titanium color theme looks great and the dropped steering wheel provides for ultimate comfort.  The buttons and switches are all laid out ergonomically for easy use. The FS-GT3C uses a secure 2.4GHz AFHDS (automatic frequency hopping) technology for a solid driving experience for your cars, trucks, and boats. The FS-GT3C is now available for purchase at the Redcat Racing website.

The FS-GT3B is the next level up from RTR vehicle radio systems. It offers a secure 2.4GHz AFHDS (automatic frequency hopping) technology, as well as many digital controls. The LCD screen is easy to read and the selection wheel makes scrolling through the menus a breeze. The FS-GT3B is now available for purchase at the Redcat Racing website.

The FS-GT5 2.4GHz radio is the perfect radio for Rock Crawling. Equipped with a crawler specific function mode and 6 channels, this radio easily supports additional accessories like functional winches, lights, four wheel steering, etc.

The FS-GT5 includes a 20 model memory, SVC (Traction Control) function for surface vehicles, user adjustable stability control (yaw control) ,an ABS function with 6 configurable settings making braking easier on different surfaces, bidirectional communication (which includes full telemetry, servo calibration, and i-BUS support), 140 channel frequency hopping to reduce interference from other transmitters, unique ID recognition system which allows only the bound radio/receiver to communicate with each other, Failsafe mode, and a low power consumption system, which only consumes 10% of a standard FM system. Redcat Racing is the very first North American distributor to receive the FS-GT5 Flysky radio.

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.

4. Quality issues – What to do if you find a problem with your radio? E.g. damaged switches, buttons, antennas, etc., poor touch response or other screen issues, not booting etc.

If the seller does not want to take any action, please contact Flysky via our email address with the product model number, product problem, product serial number and order information and seller information (product model, product serial number, order information, please provide pictures, provide and records of communication with seller)

6. What should I do if the remote control is damaged? If the potentiometer, button switch, antenna, screen, etc. are damaged during use, the remote control or receiver power supply is connected incorrectly or reversely burned out.

For power problems domestic users can contact Flysky’s after-sales service for factory repair; foreign users are advised to abandon repairs if they do not have overseas service points and cannot repair themselves.

If you need to update, please check the latest firmware of the remote control on the Flysky website. If your firmware version is lower than the official version, please check the “Software Version Update Record” to confirm whether you need to upgrade.

You can download it from the official website product page or download it from github at https://github.com/open-flysky/FLYSKY-ProductInformationDownload.

Please check the surrounding environment for interference. If there is a mobile phone base station, a high-power router, a 2.4GHz high-power wireless device, etc., nearby it is likely to cause some interference.

If you cannot solve the issue please contact the seller to go through the after-sales process; if the seller does not process, please contact Flysky via email with the product model, product problem, product serial number and order information and seller information (product model, product) Please provide the image of the serial number and order information, and provide the communication record of the seller and the seller.)

Different radios have different settings for the failsafe function. Radios that have a screen can be set up on the radio itself. Radios without a screen must be set up with the receiver. The specific method is subject to the manual.

If the gimbal is not operating as expected it may need to be calibrated. If the radio has a screen it can be calibrated via the radio itself in settings. If the radio does not have a screen a key combination will activate calibration mode. Refer to the radio’s user manual for more information.

The receiver has two types of interfaces for outputting PPM signals. Class 1 is a sticker or PCB silk screen labeled PPM interface. This interface only outputs PPM signals; Class 1 is a receiver labeled PPM/CH1 or P/CH1. It is necessary to set the signal type to PPM through in the radio settings to output the PPM signal (generally under the receiver setup menu, refer to the manual).

If you need more information Flysky products such as schematics (limited open source products), component model numbers, certifications, ibus information, etc., you can send us an email with the subject of the message clearly indicating the needs and uses.

In addition to PL18, other Flysky product require the opening of the radio to switch the left and right gimbals. For details, please refer to the products user manual.

Nowadays, it is more common to use “spread-spectrum” radios in the 2.4GHz band. The use of spread-spectrum technology eliminates the need to select a channel.

The transmitter/receiver I selected for my experiments is the popular Flysky FS-I6X. This is a 6-channel device that can be converted into a 10-channel unit with a firmware update.

This unit operates on the 2.4GHz band and permits bidirectional communication between transmitter and receiver.  It uses “multi-channel hopping” to switch between 16 available channels between 2.408 and 2.475GHz.

If you’re using the Flysky FS-I6X, you will need to be sure that you power up the receiver AFTER the transmitter, this is true for many other RC Controllers as well.  You’ll also need to have all the switches in the up position and the throttle control (left stick) down all the way. Both of these requirements are safety precautions to avoid an uncontrolled vehicle or one that starts with the motors running.

Before we get started, however, you’ll need to make a slight configuration change to your controller. Well technically you don’t need to make any changes, this “suggested” change will let you demonstrate the use of both the controls and switches on the Flysky controller.

We have already looked at the default setup of the Flysky remote controller, all six channels are mapped to either a potentiometer or one aspect of a joystick. They all, therefore, give out a variable reading that is proportional to the position of the control.

Another way to get data from the Flysky receiver is via the iBus serial connection. This has a few advantages, not the least being that it only requires one wire (plus power and ground).

Remember, by applying a firmware update to your Flysky FS-I6X you can increase its capacity to 10 channels. The Arduino Mega has oodles of I/O pins that we haven’t touched, so now that you know how to work with RC data, you could add a number of exciting features to your car.

Remember, you can purchase additional receivers for most transmitter models, like the Flysky I used, so that you can create several radio-controlled devices using the same transmitter.

Learn how RC Radio controls work, and how to use them with an Arduino to build advanced remote control projects. I"ll show you two ways of interfacing with a Flysky FS-I6X transmitter and receiver. We"ll also build a cute radio-controlled robot car!

If you are still wondering about where to buy the Flysky products? Just get them online from Ubuy Algeria, which offers a huge range of Flysky products at discount prices in Algeria.

Yes, Ubuy ships Flysky products in the Algeria. Ubuy provides its products from 7 international warehouses located in the UK, USA, China, etc to over 180 countries worldwide at affordable prices.

Ubuy allows users to get various coupons and rewards while purchasing Flysky products. You can purchase the Flysky products at cost effective prices as compared to other ecommerce stores available in Algeria.

From then on it will always link and hop over various frequencies in the 2.4Ghz band to ensure a solid link with theoretically hundreds of pilots operating at the same time.

Although typical radio systems use the 2.4Ghz band, specialist long range systems such as the TBS Crossfire can run on much lower frequencies which are able to travel much further at the same power.

The TX16S MKII radio features 2 types of gimbals - Hall Gimbals V4.0 and AG01 gimbals, a multi-protocol 4-in1 - 2.4GHz frequency with 16 channels - internal module, runs EdgeTX 2.6.0* out of the box, and like everything touch screen, comes 4.3" IPS colour display. The TX16S is the full-sized radio transmitter of the RadioMaster Zorro. 2 versions of the TX16S MKII are available to buy – 2.4GHz ExpressLRS and RadioMaster’s very own 4in1 multi-protocol module. ExpressLRS version is for pilots who don’t intend on buying an external module because ELRS is gaining popularity thanks in part to its affordability and versatility. We recommend buying the 4in1 module if you are running an external module setup with the TBS CrossFire. RadioMaster has another distinction in the product lineup of the TX16S MKII – Hall Senor Gimbals and the latest AG01 Gimbals. The stock hall sensor gimbals are fine and plenty sufficient for the casual flier, but if you desire the best possible precision and butter smooth stick travel, then the latest AG01 gimbals from Radiomaster are your best bet.

This radio is the slightly cheaper little brother of the Taranis X9D. For those of you unaware the X9D is the most popular radio in the mini quad world and used by a vast majority of pro pilots. This radio features the highly programmable Open TX, reasonable quality hardware and telemetry at a decent price. The QX7 maintains these core values but reduces cost slightly by removing a few switches, reducing the screen size and swapping the chargeable battery for an AA option. The design is more modern than the X9D and the relatively low price point makes this one of the most popular radios for both new and seasoned pilots this year. Ask on any forum and this will likely be your recommendation. Taranis QX7 Review

The Flysky Nirvana ( previously known as the Dark Knight from a Underground FPV) is a very interesting radio. The build quality is excelent It is great for both thumbing and pinching, but in this price range FlySky needs to step up.

The Nirvana TX is one of the most distinct radios on the market. It has two large grips, a color touchscreen, module support, back switches, integrated charger, high-quality gimbals, and a retractable antenna. It"s almost as big as Taranis X9D and fits great in the hands. The radio has some flaws but it"s certainly high quality. We"we covered the Flysky Nirvana in a indepth review, it sticked to us and we now use it on a regural basis. FlySky Nirvana Review. The ergonomics are great for thumbs or pinchers, swappable 18650 batteries are a great feature. Smooth responsive gimbals, bright touchscreen, good (not great) switch types and placement, perfect IBus response- no jitter at all.

This radio controller features a large LCD display, HALL sensor gimbals, and officially supports OpenTX and EDGETX firmware out of the box. It accepts external modules – both TBS and ExpressLRS, and for convenience, can be charged via USB-C and accepts an external 2S power supply. The RadioMaster Zorro’s external module bay is compatible with nano-sized modules - TBS Nano Crossfire/ Nano Tracer /IRC Ghost. The TX comes equipped with 18350 battery compartment slots, which can be charged via the available USB-C port. To facilitate ease of transportation and avoid broken antennas, RadioMaster has cleverly incorporated foldable antennas. To make the TX truly yours, the transmitter comes with spring tension adjustments, self-adjusting throttle adjustments, and stick travel adjustments. Switching between Mode 1 and 2 is as easy as moving a slider on the back and gone are the days when disassembling the entire TX was required. On top of all these features, the TX comes equipped with an audio output port for audio-based alerts, and an SD card slot to facilitate firmware upgrade which also doubles as an extended memory slot for the transmitter.

The OLED display screen on top of the 3 Pro transmitter brings visually instant and relevant to the users. It also accepts nano TX modules in addition to the internal RF system, making it a multi-protocol transmitter. BetaFPV has 3 variants of the LiteRadio up for sale – LiteRadio 3 Pro, LiteRadio 3 and LiteRadio 2 SE. The main distinction between all the three radios is the gimbals, firmware and the power output of the RF modules built into them. BetaFPV claims that with the built-in 2000mAh 1S battery, LiteRadio 3 Pro can work up to 15 hours, bringing excellent endurance to the TX. The 1.3-inch OLED display screen is controlled by two 5D buttons, and settings like switching between internal/ external modules, gimbal calibration, and binding can be accessed and adjusted with the help of the display.

FlySky FS-i6 is a excelent entry level 6-channel telemetry 2.4ghz transmitter. Great deal for the money. For $50 this Tx is packed with features and channels. Lots of receiver options are nice for various applications.

So far we have covered how the radio talks to the quad but some quads can actually talk back relaying important information such as battery voltage and signal strength. This information can either be displayed on a screen or read out by audibly by the remote to warn you when to land or when you are out of range. Having this read out audibly to you is great as you can focus on flying and won"t miss any warnings which could cause you to crash or lose a quad.
