Just caught a good deal on Banggood for a flysky FS-ST8 upgraded version. Don't think I am quite ready for the Open Tx thing yet but this will be an upgrade from the i6x for sure. Also bought the transmitter module for it so that I can still use my AFHDS 2 receivers and I think it will also work with AFHDS 3 receivers using PPM.

Congrats When did the AFHDS 3 become a thing. Is that the IA6C receivers?
BTW, the cool kids use Edge TX now, open tx is so last year.

Although I did figure out how to set changing modes and rates to the same switch, so I can have high rates in stabilized modes and turn them down in acro. |

It just arrived at customs here, so probably another week before I see it. The Rare Bear will be the first victim with it lol.

So I like it a lot. 8 mixes, nicer gimbals, two timers, 2s lipo can be used to power it. I got the upgraded version so there are two extra VR self centering knobs and two keys on the back. the trim buttons are 2 gimbal type buttons, one for each stick. Menu navigation is nice with the scroll roller. Just watched a video and apparently once I do a firmware upgrade it will be 12 channel capable which makes sense with the extra 4 knobs and keys, right now out of the box I have 10 channels so extra channels is a bonus. Lots of other stuff to look at but pretty happy with it, feels really nice in the hands. can use GPS and other sensors as well. Nice little step up from the i6X.

Still as easy to set up as the i6? That is one thing I miss about my flysky, is that it is super easy to set up. Well, I technically still have it, but I never use it. |

Very easy and familiar to set up. lots of new stuff to look at but all in all seems very capable. Won't be totally retiring my other 2 i6X's as some of my models use the OG AFHDS receivers and apparently the RF module I ordered for this will only work on AFHDS 2A receivers and I believe the AFHDS 3 receivers as well. Antenna can be easily upgraded as well, they rate the range for this at 1 Km so that is pretty decent. Its got LED lights on the face of it that light up and you can change their color and brightness, they would have been cooler mounted inside the gimbals. I had low expectations for this and ended up very surprised , nice little radio.
