We CAN use ELRS on our FlySky FS-I6X!!!

[Houndpup Rc]

Howdy fellows! So a while back you will remember I was looking into getting a new radio...While I didn't end up getting ti as it was a lot of money and I ended up getting a better camera for my YT channel...But I still want ELRS for telemetry and the longer range capabilities.

So I was looking around and I found this video where you can flash OpenTX onto your radio giving you ELRS and the extra mixes ect! (After reading the comments it seems to have a pretty high success rate😁)

I have flashed opentx to my fs-i6x (I no longer have it), but it was awesome! It was definately worth it, although a bit annoying to use because none of the buttons did what they were labelled to do

Looks like a bit of work but Oscar does a great job explaining things.

You still need an external ELRS module and high current batteries.

Yup, but if you can't afford a TX16 yet, this seems to be a good thing for now! (I will probably design and 3d print a new battery compartment and use a 2s or 3s lipo battery to run the module and use a 5v BEC to run the rest of the transmitter)
