Congratulations! You now own a basic, but unusually versatile and powerful, 6-Channel programmable RC transmitter. The Sky Tech TS6i
+
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
(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
many of the channel outputs in a variety of ways allows you to create some surprisingly sophisticated flying functions that were once available
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
and rudder. The primary limitation of this radio is that your models require six or less control channels.
If Sky Tech TS6i
+
is your first programmable radio control transmitter, you're probably feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the buttons and
switches on the case and the cryptic symbols that appear on the radio's LCD screen.
However, if you take little time to read this manual and follow the programming steps as you watch your model's control surfaces respond,
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
crossword or Sudoku puzzle.
You'll discover that the rewards for mastering this simple but powerful computerized, programmable radio are well worth the effort.
Thank you for purchasing the ACE RC Sky Tech TS6i
+
Radio. This radio was produced by Thunder Tiger Corp., a guarantee for high quality,
services, and hours of trouble-free operation.
Thunder Tiger products are sold worldwide through authorized distributors supported directly by Thunder Tiger. To receive the latest product
information and enjoy full technical support, please contact your nearest hobby shop or Thunder Tiger authorized distributor.
Model Memory:
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
of ten models can be registered in Sky Tech TS6i
+
).The memory is non-volatile-that is, it won't be lost even if the transmitters battery is
discharged or even removed.
Pre-mixed Flight Control Functions:
The Sky Tech TS6i
+
computer automatically mixes rudder and elevator outputs to control a V-tail or mixes aileron and elevator outputs to
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.
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
ailerons-each on their own servo-moving the same amount) without having to physically re-adjust linkages.
Open Mix Capability:
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
mixing the throttle with the elevator to counteract pitching or the throttle with the rudder to reduce yawing
Buddy-Box Function:
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
other is controlled by the student pilot.
Releasing a button instantly diverts control from the student's transmitters back to the master transmitter.
