Pairing Fly Sky i6 Controller with Drone

TheExplorex

Hi, I'm very new to this and still working out the fundamentals. I've flashed the firmware onto the drones and I'm now trying to pair the controller up with the drone.

How is this done? I've put the controller into RX Binding mode however I'm unsure what to do next.

Is there supposed to be a receiver from the controller kit I'm meant to wire it up to (as that's what videos online suggest) or does the drone have its own compatible receiver ?

Hey @TheExplorex

You can check out this tutorial video

rolandash paired it correctly the first time then by the looks of things.

Is there anything else I need to do to make it fly? Firmware flashed, battery in, binded to remote.

Any remote settings needed to be changed?

I can see the remote communicates to the drone as I change the VRA/VRB knobs at the top the main led flashes different colours as turned (yellow, blue, green and red)

However not indication of the ability to fly as such yet...

Did you read this document?
MindRacer user manual

I recommend to download a QGroundControl before your first flight. It is not mandatory but can give you a vision on what's happening on Nano drone.

Please follow the section "Connect to Ground Station", and "Select flight mode" in user manual.

Linux/MAC box is recommended for QGC installation, or at least a Win 10.

Most are same with MindRacer user manual, just more specific instructions for NanoMind.
