This is great news!

Will keep an eye out for the FS-RM005 module when Mini-Z season comes in 3 or so months. Finally able to use my favorite radio for all rc vehicles

The only complaint and issue I've seen on here are the change to the way you bind your receivers.
Just make sure you follow the instructions for exporting your current models and how the new binding works.

As i can see from some videos on YouTube for the Fgr4, Fgr4s and Fgr4p tha I use is pretty straight forward..

My radio did that thing where it bricks itself after recharging again. I can 100% confirm this time the solution is simply pressing the hidden momentary button inside the controller grip. See below. NOTE: There are buttons on both sides of the grip. To fix the issue, use the button on the RIGHT side of the remote, not the left side button as pictured below.

Hello guys..
I don't know how many of you have opened theur transmitter but if you do you will notice that on the RF board there is a 2nd port for an antenna.
What is this port for? Can you connet a 2nd antenna to boost signal?
See the red circle on the pic below..

On page 10 of the FCC report found here. You can see that they have an antenna connected to the other port than what yours is connected to. The document has a note (the FCC telling the Manufacturer) that they (the manufacturer) could make the antenna user-replaceable. So I'm not sure if that is what the second port is for or not. If the first one went bad, could you use the alternative one?
Because the board is soldered to the board below it, I can't follow the traces on the backside to see if both connectors end up at the same location, or if they have different circuitry.
Without being able to trace the routes and see the difference between the two, I couldn't tell for sure. You could switch the wire antenna from one port to the other and try again and see if it still connects to your receivers. If it does, then you may be able to get an additional external antenna and connect it and see what our get out of it.
If you also look at the receiver in that FCC filing above, you can see that the receiver also has two antenna jacks, which leads me to suspect that the difference between them is different circuitry based on the destination country (Because of different broadcast regulations).
We could tell for sure if we got on EU users to check what port their remotes are using vs those of USA users.

Thank you very much for the information..
I may test the other port when I have time to open the transmitter again..
If you find anything else about it please let us know!!!

That is the same HF radio module as in the FGr4 receivers. I would assume that FlySky is using the same board in their receivers and transmitters to save costs through common parts, and the second antenna port is for air receivers that use two antenna.

I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

My son uses this radio and I am used to a Futaba 4PX menu. I'd like to help him make his steering feel less "twitchy". He runs a B74.1 with the mini receiver and a Savox 1256. It's not glitching like others have described, it's just too sensitive and reactive, making it feel twitchy. Which menu option do I change, the whole "rate" thing vs exponential thing has me confused. The graph looks like it bends more the wrong way (convex) when I make negative adjustments to slow things down. TIA.

If you want to make the steering less twitchy either try negative expo or slow down the steering speed. Negative expo makes the steering less sensitive near neutral while maintaining speed and travel at full throw.

The confusion here is the fact that you're using a 4PX as your main radio. Historically, and I'm not sure if things have changed since I last owned a 7PX, when you want to apply negative (less) "Expo" to a channel on a Futaba radio you hit the (-) key and the graph move in a concave pattern. On most other radios, if you want negative expo, you'd actually have to hit the (+) key to "add slowness" and the graph would take a concave shape. The fact that the graph moved in a convex pattern shows that you're hitting the (-) key on the Noble which is INCREASING expo unlike a Futaba where is takes away expo.

You're basically trying to set expo on the Noble the way you'd set it on your Futaba and the technique is not interchangeable.

I think this is what was confusing - as you said, I was using Futaba "logic" on the Flysky and it just didn't seem right. I'll try adding (+) some expo to take out the twitchiness. Thanks.

Werty you're right, it is positive expo on the NB4 to "slow down" the steering. I don't have my radio with me and got it mixed up. Just do whatever makes the graph look the way you want it.

Bought my Flysky Noble NB4 about a year ago.
Just got another receiver and noticed that it says V2.
Anyone know what changed from version 1 to 2?
