Quick question on flysky i6

[no1trancefan]

I bought a flyksy so could use 6 channels on the clodbuster

Can i use the flysky i6 on more than one rc? i was hoping to use it on a new tamiya kit ive bought.

It seems that this radio doesn't have a model memory. Therefore it's not possible to safe different settings for different models. You can still use it for several models but it could be possible that you have to bind the receiver in the different models every time you switch between them.

The Flysky GT5 is actually a six channel transmitter (one of those channels is only on/off and another is limited to three positions) but it has a 20 model memory.  Very good value and the receivers are very inexpensive too.   

 

Edit:   Just noticed the i6 is a stick transmitter so the GT5 may not be what you're looking for.

Yes, there are many different "flavors" of i6, but they should all have memory for 20 models. I had some trouble with this when I got mine too, as the procedure is either different from the instructions or not there at all.

Mine is an i6X with the 10 channel upgraded firmware, but the process should be identical for this part, hopefully it's helpful. If you hold the OK button to go into the settings menu, then into the System section, there is a setting called Model Select where you can scroll through the 20 models stored on the transmitter. When you've landed on the one you want, hold the Cancel button until it beeps to select it for driving (or further adjustment of the settings). The model's name is displayed on the "home" screen when it's active, and all the settings (including the specific receiver in each car) are bound to that model in the memory.

If you have a second car, you would go in and select the second entry from the Model Select list the same way, and then you will be able to bind its receiver and adjust it's settings, independently of car 1. It can technically bind to any of the spots for model entries in the list, but if you only have two cars, it would make sense to put them right next to each other. It's the same process for any other cars you might add later (3rd spot, 4th spot, etc.)

And once the receivers are both bound, you can easily switch between the cars through the same menu. So you'd just select which car you want to drive in Model Select, then turn that car on and go. I also usually cancel out to the home screen before I start driving, but that's really just for my own OCD. The car should start working as soon as it's activated in Model Select.

You can also rename them in the menu to match your cars, so it's easier to identify which car is active from the home screen. The default model names are pretty generic (FlySky01, FlySky02, etc.)

That's great thanks. I've only got one sooner I've bought 3 other transmitters in the past month
