Reddit reviews RCmall Flysky USB Flight Simulator Adapter Cable 2.4G SM100 for FS-i6 FS-i10 FS-i6 FS-i4 FS-T6 FS-CT68 FS-T4B FS-GT3 Remote Controller

I would start by getting a receiver and downloading a simulation. It's a lot harder than most people may think. Once you're good at the simulator you can get a small quad for a low price. Personally I started with the Eachine Wizard . The receiver can be used on a PC using this

I have this simulator cable from Amazon and it works great on my flysky transmitter and Windows 10 pc. There are also cheaper options from banggood if you are willing to wait

I've got a FlySky FS-i6X and this cable that I use with my Mac on FPV Freerider. Works perfectly fine, but at $60 for the transmitter (with X6B receiver) and another $10 for the cable I'd rather just get a Taranis Q X7. Yeah, it is another $35 from getfpv.com and doesn't come with the receiver, but it looks like a kick ass transmitter.

Otherwise, there is also the FS-i6 without receiver that currently costs $37 on banggood (which would also need that above mentioned cable), the Turnigy Evolution for around $77 and the FS-i6S which is around $60. The Turnigy Evolution and FS-i6S controllers have the same electronics, but drastically different design. The Evolution has a design quite like an XBox controller and has a decent following. Both of those are connectable with just a regular USB cable.

As long as it has a trainer port on the back, this should work.

This is the cable I use, it was plug and play with my Win 7 PC and Liftoff/FPV Freerider. It's a shame it jumped up in price to $15, I paid $10.

I recently bought myself a Flysky FS i6X transmitter for about $50 and this cable: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AAETLVY?ref%5F=oh%5Faui%5Fdetailpage%5Fo02%5Fs00&redirect=true&psc=1&pldnSite=1
Plugged it into my Mac last night (just got the transmitter yesterday) and it works perfectly with both FPVFreerider and Liftoff. Maybe ask him if he would be interested in that. Tell him you will get him that stuff (and maybe a HubsanX4 to fly for real) and when he gets good with the sim, you can get him a better higher end quad. Once I get good with the sim, I'm going to get this: http://www.banggood.com/Eachine-Wizard-X220-FPV-Racing-Drone-Blheli_S-F3-6DOF-2205-2300KV-Motors-5_8G-48CH-200MW-VTX-ARF-p-1085802.html?rmmds=search with some goggles. I've always wanted to do FPV and then get an action cam to attach to it so I can record video. I'm personally not really into "racing" quads around, I just want to fly and take cool video.

I just bought this cable from Amazon. I'm hoping it works and will update when it comes in tmorw. The description says it will work with the FS-i6.

Having a hell of a time trying to figure out getting connected to my PC with this cable and the fs-i6 controller.. looks like i need drivers for Win 7 but can't find anything online. Any suggestions?

I just set mine up today. Checkout this cool walk-through on the eachine wizard.

If you bought the radio drone combo like I did, you will still need to bind the receiver to the radio and set a few things up in beta flight. Super important you setup a fail safe for your drone or you can kiss it goodbye if you loose signal.

Also if you are completely new to racing drones, I highly recommend you pick up an adapter cable so you can hook your radio up to computer for flight simulators. It will save you a ton of money because you will crash.


Here is the cable I am using with my FS-iA6B controller:

This is the flight simulator I am using:

I am not sure that receiver will work with the wizard but This one is what I use and it works great. I use This cable to connect to my pc and it is just plug and play.

You need this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AAETLVY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and to put it into student mode. Mine works with FPV freerider and the DRL sim

Also do yourself a favor and get this cord for your transmitter it allows you to play pc drone simulators with your transmitter and helps you get better when you're new to prevent crashing as much
