Turnigy TGY-i6S Digital Proportional Radio Control System (Mode 2) (Black)

Details

As the old saying goes, the best just got better. This is definitely the case with the Turnigy TGY-i6S as it builds on the already great Turnigy-i6. The TGY-i6S still uses the solid and reliable 2.4GHz Automatic Frequency Hopping Digital System (AFHDS) spread spectrum technology. It is also a superb budget radio for both new and experienced pilots and is designed with multi-rotor / drone flying in mind. It can also be used for planes/gliders.

The Turnigy TGY-i6S is a 6-channel (PWM) or a 10-channel (PPM) 2.4GHz AFHDS Digital Proportional RC system. It comes complete with two receivers, the dependable TGY-iA6B 6 channel receiver and the new TGY-iA6C receiver for PPM or SBUS.

The new look design comes with some exciting new features. This radio incorporates a monochrome backlit LCD touchscreen making it easy to program and make changes in sunlight or at night. There are two internal dual omnidirectional high gain antennas (for more reliability) built inside the frame so they can’t be damaged in transit. To help control your aircraft there are lots of programmable switches, buttons, and scroll wheels. Making them great for setting up flight modes and the scroll wheels could be used for controlling camera gimbals.

The ergonomically designed case makes for easy use of all controls. All switches and scroll wheels are within easy reach and the adjustable length sticks can be set for comfortable use. There is a loop for attaching a neck strap and a phone/monitor holder mounting point. There is even a mini USB port for easy connection to your PC for updates or for connecting (via USB) to your favorite simulator programs.

Each transmitter and receiver has its own unique ID. Once the transmitter and receiver have been paired, they will only communicate with each other, preventing other systems from accidentally connecting to or interfering with the system's operation. Each transmitter hops between 16 channels in order to reduce interference from other transmitters.

The TGY-i6S comes in either Mode 1 and Mode 2 and is available in black or white for each mode.

With all the features the TGY-i6S offers, it is one of the best radios available, dollar for dollar.
