FlySky FSi6X Radio/TX REVIEW - beginner friendly budget radio for FPV/planes/quads/drones?
23This was the transmitter that I started with. It's definately one of, if not THE cheapest usable radio out there. With that there will obviously be some trade-offs when compared to something like the FrSky Taranis QX7, which is the radio that I recently moved up to and will be somewhat comparing the Fly Sky radio to in this video. If I missed something that you wanted to know, ask away in the comments down below and I'll do my best to help you out. Thanks!
Recording equipment used:
-GoPro Hero 5 Session

Link to download smartpropoplus. As far as I could tell, this is required if you want to use the FSi6x for PC flight simulators.
