One thing for would-be RC tankers to bear in mind, is that transmitters really need to have spring-loaded, self-centring (real English spelling :D ) gimbals. Most TXs are set up for flying machines, and these require a throttle that is essentially static, after being moved. Thus, they don't have both gimbals set up as self-centring.
Your Flysky will probably need a little kit to enable self-centring. (Usually a spring, together with a small lever). Like this: https://heng-long-panzer.de/en/Fly-Sky- ... ition.html

I've just ordered the somewhat pricey Taranis Q X7, and this has both gimbals as self-centring by default. :) Hope this all helps :thumbup:

I use a FlySky i6X, purchased from tankbear, which came with the necessary bits which I fitted myself. Before that for a long time I used an ordinary FlySky i6 with no self centering on the throttle. I got used to it. I just had to be careful not to knock the stick.

Did you bind the receiver with the radio?

Perhaps this will help, Various radio/receiver combinations have different and sometimes surprising ways of binding one to the other,
When all else fails go to U-Tube and type in the details of your radio,
You will almost always find a tutorial which will take you by the hand and help you to solve your problem.
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

This is probably asking the stupid question, but have you got the correct receiver? The T6 uses a different protocol from the i6. Can you post a photo of your receiver? I have never had a problem binding the i6.
