Flysky FS-NB4 2.4G 4CH Noble Radio Transmitter w/ FGR4 Receiver HVGA 3.5" TFT Color Screen for RC Car Boat (Flysky NB4)

Product Information

See here for more details about the differences between the EN version and EU version - he doesn't really mention much about the Asian version, and explains the legalities of using the EN FCC firmware file in the UK FlySky provides the market with some of the most affordable radio control solutions available. The range is most suitable for people who are incapable of comprehending the addictive power of flying FPV mini quad… Sorry, I mean people who just want to ‘try it out’, and don’t require all the bells and whistles of something more expensive.

The transmitter power supply includes a 2600mAh Li-ion battery built into the grip, and a 4300mAh Li-Po removable battery that also functions as the base of the transmitter. You can charge the removable battery with the included USB cable and also use it to charge other devices using it's USB output. The trainer port has been moved to a more convenient location on the bottom of the TX, and next to it you will find the addition of a micro USB, for simulators and firmware updates, which was a good move in my opinion. Turn on the transmitter, enter [Sensor] then [Sensor List] and rotate the wheel. If the “Type” column displays “Temperature” and the [Value] column displays a temperature then the installation was successful, otherwise repeat the above steps.The FCC high power firmware with a more reliable new RF library makes Noble Pro's range increased by 50 m* compared to NB4 (standard firmware).

Channels 1 to 4 are used to control the actual movement of the craft, while the rest of the channels are assigned to the switches and pots (potentiometers) on the radio, and are referred to “Auxiliary Channels”, labelled as AUX 1, AUX 2 and so on. Equipped with our newest RF technology, AFHDS 3, the NB4 is now the most flexible option for cars and boats. For extra low latency enable sports mode to have latency times as low as 3ms. Specifications RX2A specs claim the longest range on this list, but considering the simplicity of the monopole antenna, fly out this distance at your peril! The box is REALLY nice. Well made too and aluminium with a carbon fibre effect printed over it. Very sturdy but lightweight and does not wobble around or anything.

Flagship Products

Firstly, there is a wider range of small size RX for FrSky. Although they are generally slightly more expensive, but the full featured options and additional range they provide are worth the extra investment I think that for FlySky, telemetry has been a bit of an afterthought, and when most newer FCs come with an integrated OSD, who can blame them if they are focussing sales towards the FPV market? In reality though telemetry can be considered one of the ‘bells and whistles’ I referenced earlier, and for the beginner is not a necessity by any means. Failsafe Disclaimer: this is NOT a sponsored post, we did not and will not get paid by Flysky for writing this guide. This article was created purely for the benefit of the FPV community, and with the hope that some people who have the passion but with a small budget can find a more affordable way to fly. The older models in the FlySky RX range are prefaced with the letters ‘ iA‘ and are relatively large and heavy, weighing between 15 and 20 grams! As keeping weight down is critical in a mini quad, I have excluded the bulky options to focus on these lighter weight solutions.

When you rotate the wheel around from the default position it can move up and scratch the underside of the screen - I can see this being marked over time. Different TX and RX might be capable of different protocols. In this section we will give you some basic understanding of the protocols used by Flysky transmitters and receivers.. The Palatin is the latest offering in the Flysky premium lineup. It has many of the new features in the Nirvana but in a much more traditional style shell. It also supports the latest AFHDS 3 air protocol.

Specifications

There has been some talk of problems with the A8S retaining the protocol selection, automatically reverting from iBUS to the default 8 channel PPM on power up, which would cause failsafe to fail. The EU version, which is for the European market, this does not have the same range as the EN - US version, it's quite a bit less, due to British and E.U. laws The appearance of the FS-i6S is pretty er, pretty! Almost what you might expect a TX to look like if Steve Jobs had a hand in its design! The VrA and VrB potentiometers have been moved to a more accessible position on the corners, and with only the edge of the dial exposed, it really helps to maintain the image of sleek minimalism. The appearance of the i10 is a bit more classy than the red plastic of the i8, but again its face is marred by the massive touch-screen! The i10 and i8 both weigh in at 720g, almost double the weight of the i6S at 410g. The NB4 is equipped with 2 batteries, one in the handle and one removable power bank in the base. The base will charge the battery in the handle when connected and when disconnected the power bank can be used to charge other devices using it’s USB output.

I do think that the designers may have pushed appearance ahead of function in some areas, as they have neglected to include trim buttons. Ideally you should trim your craft using the ‘sub-trim’ option in the TX menu, this then saves the trim setting to the model memory data. However I find that it is easier to use the trim buttons to stabilize the craft 1st, then remove trim added via the buttons in conjunction with adjusting the sub-trim through the menu. Nice dense foam holds all the bits and pieces together (quite tightly too). The top is nice spongey protective foam. I have removed the phone holder as I have no need for it but that would slot into the top left)

Hi, I know this is an older article, but for those doing research for a fix, I’ve had problem, mentioned in the article, with the motors going 100% full throttle as soon as I armed, with two different quads, I was really stumped for a couple days on the build. This fix I found on a Github forum, apparently there were quite a few people having it. A light weight RX that is able to output RSSI on the 14th channel and it supports AFHDS-2A protocol. Just to point out for people who don't know, there are 3 versions of the Noble Pro, the EN version, EU version, and the Asian version.
