Hi everyone, i had recently purchased a flysky fs-i6 Tx, and everything seems to work fine except for the yaw axis. i find this strange because since throttle is on the same stick, wouldnt it effect the throttle too? when looking in the display screen to show all of the stick movements, it shows that Ch4 works sometimes, but sometimes it glitches up and doesnt pick up movements. is it just a faulty product? any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
Flysky fs-i6 yaw axis acting strange

Each axis has its own potentiometer (pot, variable resistor) so the Rudder (Yaw) control is electrically independent from the Throttle even though they are associated mechanically by the joystick.
Most likely a hardware fault. If you can return it easily that might be best....otherwise...
could be as simple as a loose connector which might be fixed by re-seating it.
...or possibly a bad connection in one of the wires to the pot. A crimp may be badly done or the wires may have cracked due to stress. These kinds of things can fixed without too much trouble once you found them.
Also, if it is not obviously a bad connection to the joystick, you can get replacements from Banggood.

...unfortunately without the connecting wiring harness.

The pot is part of the gimbal...you are unlikely to source the part easily...better just to buy the gimbal if that proves to be the problem...
Make sure to ground yourself ...touch metal...before and while playing around inside. A static discharge can kill electronics.
On repairing a crimp it depends. Mostly it will likely involve soldering but sometimes you can just use a little gentle squeezing of the crimp tabs. The best repair is to get a new connector...pre-made with pigtails you can solder in is the easiest. Crimping yourself without equipment is difficult. The problem is there are so many different kinds it is too hard to find and/or too expensive to get the parts and tools.
If you do suspect the pot you can try cleaning it with some solvent - probably call switch cleaner - you can get and an hobby/electronic store.
If you start soldering stuff you probably won't be able to return it so don't do it if you can't afford to write it off and before you do you may want to see what they will do for you.
