half a mile? over 2600 feet? really? i kind of find that hard to believe

I found it hard to believe too until I started doing my own maximum range
testing. What others report are good suggestions for what to expect in terms
of starting distance but that is all. Seeing is believing and that's the only
thing I believe when it comes to radio systems.

just reading the specs of the sensors... 16000rpm and 100c????

Not very usable considering nitro motors run well at about 120c and spinning a lot higher than 16000rpm. Even my nitro heli motor sits on 17000rpm

Apart from that, sounds like a good radio. waiting for more reviews to see how it goes.
One of the videos I watched showed the dual-rate and expo functions. The dual rate function is displayed as Rate on the same screens as the throttle and steering expo.

Sounds Like The Transmitters A Big Bust.

They look cute, the rx system with all these individual sensor boxes etc is too cumbersome to be usable, the radio feels cheap when racing, I found it quite twitchy. Don't get me wrong, good for a basher if you want a blingy controller to impress your mates.

Thanks Nige69. I just tried using the Rate setting and it does work like Dual
Rate on an FS-GT3b. Never would have figured that out reading the FlySky
or the Absima manuals.

The most detailed explanation is on the Help screens for Steering Exponential
- those instructions also apply to the Throttle Exponential settings
- but the Throttle Exponential Help screens do not include the detailed explanation. Hmmm..

So, the FS-iT4 has Dual Rate but FlySky changed the name to just "Rate".

Here is how the Help screens for Steering Exponential reads (less the graphic):

__________________________________________________ ______

STEERING EXPONENTIAL:

The steering exponential function modifies the transfer curve between the
steering wheel and channel 1.

Once activated, 2 buttons select which parameter value to modify:
Rate: adjust the slope of the curve. The smaller is the slope, the shorter
is the throw of the corresponding servo.
Exp: adjust the linearity of the curve. A value of 0 corresponds to a
perfectly linear curve. A positive value decreases the sensitivity near the
neutral position and increases it on the extreme sides. A negative value
increases the sensitivity near the neutral position and decreases it on the
extreme sides.

The vertical dotted line displays in real time the position of the steering
wheel.

The horizontal dotted line displays in real time the steering position after
the exponential function.

(HELP EXAMPLE GRAPHIC

In this example, the exponential function is activated, the selected
parameter is exponential and is set to its maximum value.

The vertical dotted line shows a steering wheel 20% under the neutral position
but the horizontal dotted line indicates that the resulting servo throw is less
than 10% showing the efficiency of the exponential function.

The activation of the steering exponential function can be assigned to a push
button.

The steering rate can be assigned to a trim switch.
The steering exponential can be assigned to a trim switch.

Good deal! Another piece of the puzzle falls right into place. Sweeeet.

Last night I did the twitching test for 20 minutes and it passed!!

Today tried to bind to another receiver and when binded it will not bind to the original receiver. So everytime I use a model I have to rebind..

Bought mine a little over a month ago I just tested this weekend. Hope is not too late Will call hobbypartz tomorrow.

Contacted Hobbypartz and was given an RMA to have it exchanged. The technician stated that there was a memory problem with my radio.

Good luck!

FYI As I remember I read it on the flysky website that due to it AFHSS technology it can only bind to one receiver at a time. so there may be nothing wrong with your system.

Nige69

But you don't want to have to be constantly re-binding every time you want to drive a different vehicle.

JimmyG

I simple rebind to me is minor. Now if the radio couldnt hold your settings/trims etc from model to model.. That would an huge issue.

NDx41

It's true - the FS-iT4 can only bind to one Rx at a time. Tried binding several
times to two Rx and never had any success.

If the bind plug is left always installed and the bind plug wires are fitted with
an SP ST switch, then rebinding is quick and easy. Power can be supplied to the RX
by use of a "Y" harness (like Servo City # SY2206S) on any of the four channel
connectors in the Rx.

Some think the Tx is operating a random number generator that spits out a new and
different "Unique ID" every time bind mode runs. Don't know for sure. Somehow, the
system completely forgets the Unique ID from the previous bind.

Nige69

So I guess if you only have one model then no problems.

I am looking at getting one of these radios to replace my 8yr old JR-R1 with spektrum module that has worked faultlessly but I have more than one vehicle so I think I might wait until they can fix it to bind to and stay bound to multiple receivers.

Good solution NDx41. Would work very well

Given up on mine so it's fs, as new (done one race meet) and has an extra rx as I accidentally cut the wire on the one in the box (was still able to race with it)

If you're in Australia and interested msg me!
