Introduction
I was inspired to write this document on the T6Config.exe program and general RC
Helicopter setup to help new comers to the this exciting hobby understand the
basic usage and settings available in this radio and the T6Config.exe program
used to configure this versatile but greatly undocumented radio.
This manual is intended to assist the beginner RC Helicopter hobbyist configure
the radio and helicopter for general flight. We will not cover advanced control
mixing ratios, however by reading this material you will understand the concepts
behind each setting which will prepare you for advanced topics as your skill
increases.
I am using the Fly-Sky FS-CT6A radio and receiver in this tutorial. This radio
is re-branded by numerous vendors and may have a variety of decals. The one I am
using is branded Exceed-RC.
This manual does not currently provide program installation steps or USB cable
driver information.
There are helpful hints for installing the radio software, cable drivers, and
alternative software to the T6Config application located on
