If I could do it over I would have jumped directly to a FrSky Taranis QX7 radio instead of the i6s, mainly because I would then be able to buddy box with an old Spektrum DX6i that I had from long ago. Flysky uses AETR for the channel order while Spektrum uses TAER, so even though I was able to solder together my own trainer cable I can't use these two radios together in buddy box.I have a couple of TTs nearly ready to maiden and also with an FSi6s too - hope we can have some similar success! Well done!
The lack of trim switches is also a pain. I know that the i6s has the trim feature that sets trim by pushing the buttons on the back, but I haven't gotten it to work successfully yet, and it's hard to think about how to get it working when you're just trying to keep the plane in the air!
Heh, can't wait to do that with the boy watching. Also can't wait for him to do that with me watching! Getting it up high and then letting him take the sticks was what we did (someone on this board called it "3 mistakes high"). He was a bit peeved at first; he wanted to do the whole throw the plane and get it up high by himself on his very first flight. But once he got on the sticks himself and did a few unintentional dives, he realized that altitude is life for a new pilot and he was okay.@KendalfMy son had that attitude until I got more stick time whilst he was at school then flew a full inverted pass over the field with a neat flick roll out. Silence...
Flying together is the best. I hand over to him with it high up and neutral, after trimming, then land it until we get our buddy boxing done. He flies our micro cub on his own now, but that has SAFE to self right etc.
It dives left with level flight and even throttle. Next time we get the chance to fly, I'll see if the wing position was the culprit. Thanks!You should be able to trim that out. Does it want to dive left only when you increase throttle or does it do it when you are flying level with no throttle inputs?
