Guys,

I read lots of good and bad reviews about the 9 CH Tx / Rx from Fly Sky, has anyone used it here ?? The following link gives a nice over view of the system. Please share your reviews or experiences here, these will help newbies like me.

Specifications

The Fly Sky FS-TH9X is modular system, so specifications may vary depending on the module you select. The transmitter itself is loaded with features, some of which you will usually only find on some high end transmitters.

Number of Channels: 8ch PPM/9ch PCM
Display: 128*64 LCD
Support Type: Heli/Acro/Glid
User Models: 8
Stick Modes: 4
Encoder Type: PPM/PCM
Sub Trim: Yes
Simulator Interface: Yes
Buzzer: Yes
Low Voltage Display: Yes
The menus are clearly and easy to navigate using the 128×64 pixel LCD display. The only issue had was that the +/- buttons are back to front with the positive on the left.

Mr. Sai will soon be selling these radios.

You can fit a 2.4ghz module behind it without any soldering or any kind of newbee operation..

Looks quite promising I must say..

Ya Atul, I got that update...and it sounds quite lucrative  (:|~ . I'd like to take some reviews from veterans for using it for a 500 size heli....Lot of people out there are little skeptical about the range and all. But I also read that Fly Sky is the actual model used by Eurgle, Turnigy, Imax and others rebranded....

But people face problem with reference to programming it mainly because the company user manual is like Chinese-English. The Bind process for connecting  Tx / Rx is also tricky....

Lot of people have questions about its range. I hope we will get all these information from Mr. Sai once he gets this baby to Indian Market.

I have personally used a FrSky 2.4ghz module fitted to a JR transmitter like in this case its fitted to a turnigy or fly sky tx.

There was no range problem and I will post a video later whereas this guy flew a slow stick in btwn those huge electric diamond shape poles and I was there to witness it.

As far as the manual is concerned its not a big deal.

cheers

i had bought the transmitter and its amazing..... soo nice..

but now by default it had four channels working... now i want to connect the fifth channel... how the setting should be made to use the fifth channel tooo....

pls help me

What do you want to do with the 5th channel ?  In other words, if a servo is plugged into channel 5, what function does that servo do ?

i was attending the competition at mumbai called aviator...
in that compeition my plane have to drop a block of 70 gms..
i have to implement a mechanism to drop that block from the air...
now i want to connect the servo to the fifth channel for that mechanism....
how can i control 5th channel??????

just the servo should be able to give the to and fro movement such that the door will be opened and closed...

According to the manual (http://www.rcmodelpart.com/photo/FS-TH9X-MANUAL.pdf), the "AUX-CH" menu will be used.  See page 19.  You should be able to assign one of the switches to channel 5 using this menu, and then use that switch to physically flip the servo between the two end positions.

yes sir it had wprked thank you very much....

Hi
"The Fly Sky FS-TH9X" is it only Tx or Tx and Rx set.

Typically, when you buy a new set, it always comes as a set with TX with battery, RX and TX charger. 

In other cases, the package MAY include additional items, like RX battery, 3 or 4 servos, etc.

@Anwar thnx bro!

This package contains Tx + Rx  : Rs 7000  With Sim cable Combo : Rs 7200
Simulator Cable additional  for Rs : Rs 300
Additional Receiver 8 Channel  : Rs 1600/-

sai sir mine is the flysky transmitter...

i had connected the four sevos to the reciever and tested it... yes they were in good working condition..
but regarding the motor..
ihad connected the esc to the battery and other end is connectd to the motor...one cable for the reciever.. when i had increased the throttle my motor is making beeps and it was not rotating whats the reason ?? how can i manage it...
pls advice me...

Please do not duplicate posts...most people use the "recent/unread" options, so they will see your post regardless of where you post it (duplicate deleted).

One possibility is that the radio is  Futaba standard, you have to reverse the throttle channel in the radio, otherwise it will go into programming mode. 

Note that beeps are made when you power up pretty much any motor/ESC combo, it is their way of communicating to us.  But if throttle is reversed, you will hear beeps regardless of whether you increase throttle or not.

Make sure your connections are not reversed either.

according to my setting throttle is in channel 3....
when the esc is connected to the reciever it should be connected to the battery slot... is it right??

You should connect esc to throttle channel..provided it has inbuilt BEC.

Also, in some ESCs, the motor will not run until you set max throttle position.  In any case, keep your hands away from the prop during any testing (or test for short periods without the prop).

This is done by taking the throttle to max position, and then lowering it down :

http://www.rcindia.org/electric-planes/normal-start-up-procedure-for-electrics/

Note that the above step is dependent on the ESC model, so may not apply exactly that way to all ESCs.

then what for is the battery slot in the reciever???

Right.  Pretty much all receivers can accept power through any channel, although many of them have one of the channels marked as a battery channel.  In the case of electric setups involving ESCs with built in BECs, the power is coming from ESC to receiver, and the throttle signal needs to be sent from the receiver to the ESC... so the connection needs to be on the throttle channel.

The standalone "battery" connection is when you use external BECs, or separate receiver batteries (as is common for glow setups etc).

When you are not using ESC with inbuilt BEC then u need to provide external power supply for your receiver. That is the reason battery slot is given.

http://www.dys.hk/Download/H50A%20W%20BEC.pdf

this is my esc company...can u tell is this in built bec???

sry sry
dat was not the link..

but my esc is dys company 40a
www.dys.hk

Pretty much all ESCs in this range will come with BECs.

now i had to connect to the 3rd channel of my reciever okay fine thanks brother...

but wen i connected it to the 1st channel smoke came out from the esc... quickly i had disconnected the batttery...what may be the reason???

There must be some kind of shorting thats why smoke is coming.
Is ur ESC still alive ...?

yes its working....
so can i proceed by connecting esc to the throttlechannel(3rd channel)??

 ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
  ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

I am worried about the smoke part. Did you connect it to channel 1 with the connector reversed ? Some receivers absolutely hate that, although the vast majority of good ones will survive such connection reversal.

Also, I am not sure how you determined it is working ? If it is working, what is the pending issue ? :headscratch:

was your motor connected to ESC when u got smoke...?

after that i had cagain connected to the reciever to battery slot and servos to the other channels... they were working but i dint connected to the motor.... i will see by connecting to the 3rd channel tomorrow and see.....
regarding the connectors white wire should come upwards right???

no no at that time motor was not connected....

Balu ,
On the face of the flysky receiver clearly the polarity and the the position of the signal is indicated . You cannot go by right and top etc.

BTW should you want any help it would be a good idea to let people know your receiver model number.

Check out the enclosed PDF.

The ESC Could have smoked only if the polarity between the ESC and the Battery was wrong . There is no other reason for ESC Smoking.

Sai

Irrespective of the ESC having a BEC or not the ESC is always connected to the throttle Channel.
In the case of an ESC with Opto BEC ( external BEC)  the BEC is connected to the Battery Channel.

SIR
WHEN I HAD CONNECTED MY FLYSKY TRANSMITTER TO THE 2.4GHZ...TRANSMITTER IS BEEPING CONTINOUSLY...WHAT MAY BE THE REASON... IF I HAD DISCONNECTED THE 2.4GHZ STICK BEPING IS OFFED....
PLS TELL ME WHY..

Balu ,
I cannot understand what you mean by connected your transmitter  so I assume you mean switched on or turned on.
I  presume from my experience that  you are talking about the switch error message  but have not mentioned the message flashing on the screen when the beeping happens . Check this video out. It is a safety feature to avoid problems especially with helis :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhwOWtcagnA&feature=related

I cannot also understand what you mean by 2.4 G stick  do you mean the module of antenna .

SO PLEASE  PROVIDE CORRECT AND FULL INFORMATION IF YOU WANT HELP.

Thank you Azhaguvel for finding this :

http://www.rcindia.org/electric-power/connection-wiring-diagram-for-electric-powered-setup/

It is very useful, so I split it into its own topic.

i donno what happened my 1500kv brushless motor stopped working suddenly...
my plane weight is 1200gms... can i use the 3500kv motor  and 40amps esc with the 9x6 propeller???
help me,..... battery is lipoly 11.1v and 2650mah.....

this is my motor.... im giving the link sir...
http://www.topfreebiz.com/product/1627006/Brushless-Motor-30a-Esc-Speed-Controller-T-Rex-450-RC-Helicopter.htm

pls check it and guide me...

Answered here (where the question was duplicated) : http://www.rcindia.org/beginners-zone/propeller-size/

In short, the motor and ESC will work together, but the prop needs to be smaller.  And depending on the type of plane, that may or may not be acceptable.

Im sorry sir, wouldn't repeat it again.

Sir 5x4 propeller... Here 5 is length and what is the 4 here ???

Happy flying

Does anyone know where this radio can be bought without the module and receiver? I had it at one time, and lost it!
Thanks!
Mike
 :)

Buy it second-hand, and sell back the module + receiver ? :)
