john stones 1 - Moderator Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Had a gent come to join our club with a model and one of these, what if any, other brand of Tx can be used as the slave for buddying, please. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005963942025.html?aff_platform=true&aff_short_key=UneMJZVf&isdl=y&src=bing&albch=shopping&acnt=135095331&isdl=y&albcp=554851195&albag=1306220947490970&slnk=&trgt=pla-4585238373891532&plac=&crea=81638863712723&netw=o&device=c&mtctp=e&utm_source=Bing&utm_medium=shopping&utm_campaign=PA_Bing_PLA_UK_PC%2FM_SFFC_ALL_20240204&utm_content=All&utm_term=flysky transmitter&msclkid=8253e716d53210601ac981b044070b08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
payneib Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Just those, by way of cable. For the price of them I bought two so I could buddy my sons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Colbourne Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 I use a FlySky FS-i6. They are the same as the Turnigy TGY-i6. They can be buddied with others in the FlySky and Turnigy range. However for simplicity I would stick to the FS-i6, FS-i6X or FS-10X or Turnigy equivalents. The left hand switch on the transmitter is a two position switch. For safety's sake when using it as a master transmitter when buddying, change it to one that has to be held on when letting the pupil have control and springs off when released. Like this (fifth from the left, long lever on/mom) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Harris - Moderator Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 I would echo that advice. I was once asked to use a transmitter with a latching buddy switch - muscle memory took over and I "released it" when things were getting iffy. The half second or so that it took to realise and switch control back was just too long... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Stephenson Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 I altered one of our club trainer TX switches to a long-lever momentary one and installed it on the left side as we fly mode 2. This makes training much easier and allows a quicker release. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Harris - Moderator Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Don’t be tempted to use a push button - as your pupil(s) improve, your finger will regret it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
