My FS-iT4 does not have an "AFHDS2" feature which can be toggled on or off.

Great! Maybe Flysky can make this available in a firmware upgrade. Not that I need
it or would use it if it had it.

Magic is always fun but I fail to see an advantage for me. The Txs built in
telemetry would not work with older receivers and without that the FS-iT4 is just
another average radio that is not very different from the older stuff. Even if it
could bind to multiples (with AFHDS2 toggled off), I would rather install bind plug
switches on the new Rxs.
What sets the FS-iT4 apart for me is:
- built in telemetry - I'm spoiled now - gotta have it
- super convenient Li-Po battery
- good range (not FS-GT3b's range but very effective)
- AFHDS2 means it is one of the safest systems on the market - I like one bind at a time
- easy to see "ON" LED in the antenna stud
- nice bright screen
- etc, etc
I don't mean to *ee on your parade but the the FS-iT4 is what it is and I like the
features FlySky selected for it's release.
