About this deal

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. The i8 sees the reintroduction of the micro USB port which is used to recharge the supplied LiPo battery (the i6 series are all powered by 4 x AA batteries). The USB also acts as the trainer and simulator port. Negatively, the antenna of the i8 is the adjustable motive type, which gives me concern over its durability.

The 2CH (extreme speed) mode breaks through our limit of latency and opens up a new range by using the new radio frequency library algorithm. The multi-dimensional adjustable and expandable system and new ergonomic design 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.While the weight of this RX aims towards micro <100mm models, the length of the supplied IPEX antenna is a bit long to be ideal for this application. Flysky's "Noble NB4" is a 2.4GHz high-end transmitter that is perfect for stepping up from the middle range model and the transmitter for beginners that comes with the Readyset. In addition to the high performance required of high-end R/C systems, the Noble NB4's main feature is a feature that is full of originality. One of them is the adoption of a full-color touch panel display that controls all functions and settings. A wide variety of menus including endpoint adjust, exponential, ABS, and model memory (for 20 cars) can be operated like a smartphone. In addition, since the various setting screens have a graphical design, anyone can change the settings intuitively and easily. Another innovative idea is the wheel mount that rotates 180°, which can be changed to left-handed specifications without changing any parts. In addition, a detachable external battery that can also be used as a mobile battery, dual power supplies with external battery and a built-in battery, two Mini-Z EVO chassis receivers are included, and features and equipment all in one. In addition to the performance advantage, the Noble NB4 is made up of hardware that makes it fun to use the transmitter itself.

My first computerised TX was a Turnigy TGY-i10 (It’s a rebrand of the FlySky FS-i10). It was OK (Ish) But it’s been hobbled by buggy Turnigy reworked versions of the firmware. Every new revision of the firmware removed a couple of the bugs, But added a handful more. It’s a real shame because in my opinion the switch and slider layout is better than the Flysky original. In the end I “Upgraded” to a perfectly stable i6 that just worked. The i6 has quite a community following and I soon installed one of the 10 channel firmwares to it. I also added a single cell Li-Po, A USB charging board, And replaced one of the pots with a 6 position rotary switch. That turned it into something so much more usable than my original TGY-i10. Noble Pro will let you control whatever they are, for example, gears, overhead lights, wipers, seat adjustment, steering wheel rotation, hood switch as long as you need. As you can see, failsafe is sometimes only available over specific protocols, depending in the RX. Failsafe is far more important than telemetry because it minimizes the chance of unexpected behavior in case of losing RX signal. Take the time to ensure that you are using a protocol that supports failsafe! So, which Flysky TX should you buy? tl;dr… Our first choice is the Flysky i6XAs 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. NB4 Pro - amazing + some bonus bits if a little pricier. Twice the price for a few extra functions, some TX jewellery, carry case and extra setup bits? I’m on the fence still.

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 Hi, I know this is an older article, but for those doing research for a fix, I’ve had problem, mentioned in the article, with the motors going 100% full throttle as soon as I armed, with two different quads, I was really stumped for a couple days on the build. This fix I found on a Github forum, apparently there were quite a few people having it. When you rotate the wheel around from the default position it can move up and scratch the underside of the screen - I can see this being marked over time.

Specifications

The Asian version, which is intended for the Asian market and is capable of displaying characters - Chinese characters for example which the EN/American and EU/European versions can't do. A light weight RX that is able to output RSSI on the 14th channel and it supports AFHDS-2A protocol. 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. Built-in 18650 2000mAh battery in the remote control handle, and a lipo battery in the bottom that can be used as a power bank 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 FLYSKY NB4 Noble Pro AFHDS3 Surface Radio is the fastest and most stylish surface transmitter to date to come out of the FLYSKY stable. Not only does it look great with its sleek design and metal finish, but it also features fantastic flexibility and functionality, this makes it an excellent choice for car and boat users. The NB4 uses the latest third-generation enhanced Automatic Frequency Hopping Digital System (AFHDS3) RF technology which has an extra-low latency of down to 3ms. It supports an output of 18 channels with 2 of these outputs offering extreme speed. Note: Micro RX often do not support PWM due to their limited physical size to provide sufficient space for the necessary solder pads. FlySky TX models For Mini Quad RX2A specs claim the longest range on this list, but considering the simplicity of the monopole antenna, fly out this distance at your peril! Noble Pro supports temperature, voltage and speed sensors (both magnetic and light induction). The transmitter can display information such as receiver supply voltage, RSSI and signal strength in real-time. The EU version, which is for the European market, this does not have the same range as the EN - US version, it's quite a bit less, due to British and E.U. laws

Another point in favour of iBUS over SBUS is that the signal is un-inverted, so you are not required to invert the signal when using F1 and F4 boards as you do with SBUS. Weighing in at 4.5g this is the heavyweight on the list, and with diversity to ensure signal reliability, this is ideal for models in the 180mm+ category.
