Introducing the Sky Tech TS6i
Congratulations! You now own a basic, but unusually versatile and powerful, 6-Channel programmable RC transmitter. The Sky Tech TS6i
29
is all the radio you need to fly most types of fixed-wings aircraft-from standard trainers to flying wings to 3-D aerobatic models to sailplanes
29
(both powered or pure)-as well as most classes of helicopters. As you will learn later in this manual, the ability of this radio to mix and control
30
many of the channel outputs in a variety of ways allows you to create some surprisingly sophisticated flying functions that were once available
31
only in much more complex and expensive radios. Standard programming features include servo-reversing for all channels, subtrim
adjustments on all channels, end point adjustment on all channels and selectable dual rate and exponential values for the ailerons, elevator
31
and rudder. The primary limitation of this radio is that your models require six or less control channels.
32
+
The Sky Tech TS6i
advanced features include:
33
Model Memory:
33
The computer's memory is capable of storing all the necessary trim settings and all the mixes and their nuances for each model (up to a total
34
of ten models can be registered in Sky Tech TS6i
34
discharged or even removed.
35
Pre-mixed Flight Control Functions:
37
+
The Sky Tech TS6i
computer automatically mixes rudder and elevator outputs to control a V-tail or mixes aileron and elevator outputs to
38
create elevons for tail-less flying wings, eliminating the need for on-board mixing systems. Other pre-mixes include an aileron-to-rudder mix
so turns are automatically coordinated and an elevator-to-flap mix for snap-turns.
39
39
Sub-Trim Function:
This computerized radio allows you to easily fine-tune and coordinate the control surfaces (such as keeping a rudder centered or two
39
ailerons-each on their own servo-moving the same amount) without having to physically re-adjust linkages.
40
Open Mix Capability:
41
+
The Sky Tech TS6i
also features one "open-mix" in which you can choose any two channels to mix the servos master-to-slave, such as
42
mixing the throttle with the elevator to counteract pitching or the throttle with the rudder to reduce yawing
43
Buddy-Box Function:
43
For those learning to fly, the transmitter has a "buddy-box" capability so that you can use the optional trainer cord to connect your
+
Sky Tech TS6i
to a second ACE RC transmitter. This allows one transmitter to be used by an instructor as the primary flight control while the
44
other is controlled by the student pilot.
45
Releasing a button instantly diverts control from the student's transmitters back to the master transmitter.
45
If you are new to Computerized RC Transmitters:
47
+
If Sky Tech TS6i
is your first programmable radio control transmitter, you're probably feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the buttons and
48
switches on the case and the cryptic symbols that appear on the radio's LCD screen.
49
However, if you take little time to read this manual and follow the programming steps as you watch your model's control surfaces respond,
+
49
programming the Sky Tech TS6i
will soon become quite routine.
So stick with it. Learning the programming basics won't take any longer or require any more brain power than it takes to do the average
50
crossword or Sudoku puzzle.
50
You'll discover that the rewards for mastering this simple but powerful computerized, programmable radio are well worth the effort.
51
