Introducing the Sky Tech TS6i+
Congratulations! You now own a basic, but unusually versatile and powerful, 6-Channel programmable RC transmitter. The Sky Tech TS6i+
is all the radio you need to fly most types of fixed-wings aircraft-from standard trainers to flying wings to 3-D aerobatic models to sailplanes
(both powered or pure)-as well as most classes of helicopters. As you will learn later in this manual, the ability of this radio to mix and control
many of the channel outputs in a variety of ways allows you to create some surprisingly sophisticated flying functions that were once available
only in much more complex and expensive radios. Standard programming features include servo-reversing for all channels, subtrim
adjustments on all channels, end point adjustment on all channels and selectable dual rate and exponential values for the ailerons, elevator
and rudder. The primary limitation of this radio is that your models require six or less control channels.
The Sky Tech TS6i+ advanced features include:
Model Memory:
The computer's memory is capable of storing all the necessary trim settings and all the mixes and their nuances for each model (up to a total
of ten models can be registered in Sky Tech TS6i
discharged or even removed.
Pre-mixed Flight Control Functions:
The Sky Tech TS6i
create elevons for tail-less flying wings, eliminating the need for on-board mixing systems. Other pre-mixes include an aileron-to-rudder mix
so turns are automatically coordinated and an elevator-to-flap mix for snap-turns.
Sub-Trim Function:
This computerized radio allows you to easily fine-tune and coordinate the control surfaces (such as keeping a rudder centered or two
ailerons-each on their own servo-moving the same amount) without having to physically re-adjust linkages.
Open Mix Capability:
The Sky Tech TS6i
mixing the throttle with the elevator to counteract pitching or the throttle with the rudder to reduce yawing
Buddy-Box Function:
For those learning to fly, the transmitter has a "buddy-box" capability so that you can use the optional trainer cord to connect your

However, if you take little time to read this manual and follow the programming steps as you watch your model's control surfaces respond,
programming the Sky Tech TS6i+ will soon become quite routine.
So stick with it. Learning the programming basics won't take any longer or require any more brain power than it takes to do the average
crossword or Sudoku puzzle.
You'll discover that the rewards for mastering this simple but powerful computerized, programmable radio are well worth the effort.

Switch Harness Installation
When you are ready to install the receiver's switch harness, remove the switch cover and use it as a template to cut screw holes and a
rectangular hole slightly larger than the full stroke of the switch.
Choose a switch location on the opposite side of the fuselage from the engine exhaust, and choose a location where it can't be inadvertently
turned on or off during handling or storage. Install the switch so that it moves without restriction and "snaps" from ON to OFF and vice versa.
Adaptive Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum Technology (AFHSS)
Our 2.4GHz system utilizes the latest AFHSS technology and our exclusive Scan Mode system to ensure a rock solid, interference-free
connection between the transmitter and receiver. When selected, ACE RC’s 2.4GHz Scan Mode function scans the 2.4GHz spectrum to find
the cleanest channels in which to operate, providing interference-free operation even in the most crowded environments.
Equipment Mounting
Mounting
When you mount each servo, use the supplied rubber grommets and insert an eyelet up through the
bottom. Be sure not to over tighten the screws.
If any portion of the servo case directly contacts the fuselage or the servo rails, the rubber grommets
will not be able to attenuate vibration, which can lead to mechanical wear and possible servo failure.
Servo Throw
Once you have installed the servos, operate each one over its full travel and check that the pushrod and
output arms do not bind or collide with each other, even at extreme trim settings.
Check to see that each control linkage does not require undue force to move (if you hear a servo buzzing
when there is no transmitter control motion, most likely there is too much friction in the control or pushrod).
Even though the servo will tolerate loads like this, they will drain the battery pack much more rapidly.
Factory Repair Service Information
Please read the warranty card supplied with your system and return it. Before you decide to have your system repaired, if there is no
apparent physical damage, read this instruction manual again and check to be sure that you are operating the system as it was designed to
be operated. If you are still having trouble, pack up your system in its original shipping materials and send it to the nearest authorized ACE
RC R/C Service Center.
Be sure to include a note in your package that describes the trouble in as much detail as possible, including: symptoms of the problem in as
much detail as you can provide, including any unusual mounting conditions or equipment orientation, a list of items you are sending, and what
you want to be repaired. Make sure you also provide your name, address and telephone number.

NOTE
*Detailed range check method can be found on page 21. During the range check period, you should be able
to walk away at least 75 feet from the model without losing control or seeing "jitter" in the servos. The range
check should be done with the motor running and the model should be securely restrained in case of loss
of control.
Warnings
Vibration and Water (TRS603DD)
Vibration and Water
The receiver contains precision electronic parts. Be sure to avoid vibration, shock, and temperature extremes.
For protection, wrap the receiver in the "Flight Preserver" foam rubber, or use some other vibration-absorbing materials.
If your flying near bodies of water, it's also a good idea to protect the receiver by placing it in a plastic bag and securing the open end of the
bag with a rubber band before wrapping it with foam. If you accidentally get moisture inside the receiver, you may experience intermittent
operationor a crash.

Connectors
Be sure the alignment of a servo or battery connector is correct before inserting it into the receiver. To remove a connector from the receiver,
try to pull on the connector's plastic housing rather than pulling on the wires. Pulling the wires can ruin the connector pins and break wires.
Using Servo Wire Extensions
If any of your servos are located too far away to plug directly into the receiver (like the aileron servo), or you need to unplug the servo each time
you disassemble the model, use a servo extension cord to extend the length of the servo lead. Additional ACE RC extension cords of varying
lengths are available from your hobby dealer.

Charge the Batteries!
Before we dive into the programming and use of the Sky Tech TS6i
*Warning: During the Sky Tech TS6i+’s charging process, turn off the transmitter power
1. Connect the transmitter charging cord to the transmitter's charging socket (on the rear of the case, left side).
2. If your aircraft uses a receiver battery, connect it to the receiver connector on the charging cord.
3. Plug the charger into a wall socket.
4. The charger's LEDs should light, indicating charging is in progress.
If either light does not turn on, verify that the transmitter and receiver power switches are OFF.
The batteries should be left on charge for about 15 hours.
Try to charge the batteries with the charger supplied with your system exclusively.
The use of a fast-charger may damage the batteries by overheating and dramatically reduce their lifetime.
NOTE:
If you need to remove or replace the transmitter battery, do not pull on its wires to remove it. Instead, gently pull
on the connector's plastic housing where it plugs in to the transmitter. The battery must be removed to charge it
properly with a "peak" charger.

Operating with a Trainer Cord
NOTE:
1. WHEN USING THE TRAINER SYSTEM IN THE STEREO JACK TO STEREO JACK FORMAT AS NOTED IN THE NEXT
SEVERAL PARAGRAPHS, BOTH TRANSMITTERS ARE GOING TO TRANSMIT.
2. IF THE SLAVE TRANSMITTER HAS A REMOVABLE MODULE, REMOVE IT.
THEN, IT WILL NOT BE TRANSMITTING. OTHERWISE, IF YOU ARE FLYING AT A CLUB FIELD USING FREQUENCY
CONTROL, BE SURE YOU HAVE THE OK TO USE BOTH FREQUENCIES.
3. IF THERE IS NO REMOVABLE MODULE ON THE SLAVE TRANSMITTER, BOTH TRANSMITTERS MUST BE ON
DIFFERENT FREQUENCIES.
1. To use the trainer system between STEREO Jack Transmitter and STEREO Jack Transmitter (Needs #AT0132 between 6 cell Battery
Radios)
1) Set up both the student's and instructor's transmitter to have identical trim and control motions. If the instructor's transmitter is on a
different frequency than the student's, use the student's transmitter as the master transmitter, and the other transmitter as the student's.
2) Turn on the instructor's transmitter and DO NOT turn on the student's transmitter power.
Plug Trainer Cord (#AT0132 Stereo Jack) accordingly into each transmitter. The trainer jack is on the back of the transmitter.
Then you can see "MAS MODE" on the LCD screen of Instructor's transmitter and "SLV MODE" on the Student's transmitter screen.
3) Move the controls on the instructor's transmitter, and verify each control moves the proper direction. Now verify that the student's trims
and control travels match the instructor's by using the trainer button (the momentary ENG CUT/TRAINER button on the top right of the
transmitter case) and switching on and off while leaving the control sticks and trims alone, then moving the control sticks.
4) The instructor's transmitter has normal control over the model unless the trainer button is pressed, passing control to the student's
transmitter.
If the student loses control, the instructor can quickly "take over" by releasing the trainer button and then controlling the model.
NOTE:
1) Do NOT turn on the power of the STUDENT transmitter having the STEREO Jack. Once you plug the trainer cable
into the STUDENT Transmitter using the STEREO Jack, it will be powered on automatically.
2) All Transmitters in the trainer system use their own batteries. Both batteries in both the Instructor and Student
Transmitters should be properly charged and installed when flying in the trainer mode.
3) You may wish to use a simple "contractors cord" knot on the cable to adaptor connection to keep it from coming
"unplugged" when using it. Heat shrink tubing or electrical tape can also be used.
Be careful if you do choose to use a field charger on your batteries.
A fast-charger may overcharge the batteries, causing overheating and a premature failure. Never charge your transmitter or receiver battery
at a rate higher than the batteries capacity.
For example, the capacity of your Sky Tech TS6i
+
's 7.2 volt NIMH battery is 800 mAh and, therefore, should not be charged at a rate any
higher than 0.8 amps.
Cautions:
Stop flying and bring back your aircraft and land at once, when your transmitter start beeps for low battery
warning. (L.B.W. activates when battery level hits below 6.6V)
A training cable may be used to help a beginning pilot learn to fly safer by allowing a second transmitter, operated by an experienced
instructor, to be connected to the Sky Tech TS6i
+
transmitter. The instructor may override the beginner at any time to bring the model back
under safe control. For training, the transmitter may be connected to another ACE RC 2.4GHz system using the ACE RC cord part No.

Stick Lever Tension Adjustment / Mode Change
Flying Safety
Stick Lever Tension Adjustment
You may adjust the stick tension of your sticks to provide the "feel" that you like for flying. To adjust your springs, you'll have to remove the
rear case of the transmitter. Using a screwdriver, remove the six screws that hold the transmitter's rear cover into position, and put them in a
safe place. Now, place some padding under the front of the transmitter and set it face-down on the pad. Gently ease off the transmitter's rear
cover. Now you'll see the view shown. Using a small cross-point screwdriver, rotate the adjusting screwfor each stick for the desired spring
tension.The tension increases when the adjusting screw is turned clockwise, and decreases for counterclockwise motion.
NOTE :
When you are satisfied with the spring tensions, you may close the transmitter. Very carefully reinstall the rear
cover. When the cover is properly in place, tighten the six screws.
Please use 1.5mm hex key for gimbals' tension adjustment and mode changes.
Change to ‘Mode 1’ Configuration
All Sky Tech TS6i+ systems sold in US are in ‘Mode 2’ format. However, you may wish to use Sky Tech TS6i
menu choice for this option in the Initial Set-Up function menu described on Page 22.
After selecting ‘Mode 1’ in the Initial Set-Up Menu, you must do the following hardware set-up in order to change the transmitter
1. Carefully remove the plastic side panels from the transmitter.
2. Remove all the six philips screws from the back of the case
3. Unscrew a hex screw to remove the Copper Ratchet from where it located and move it to the other side
4. Tighten up the tension spring hex screw on the new location
5. Loosen up the tension spring hex screw on the original location. 6. Re-assemble the case.

To ensure your own safety and the safety of others, please observe the following precautions:
Flying field
We recommend that you fly at a recognized model airplane flying field. You can find model clubs and fields by asking the nearest hobby
dealer, or contacting the Academy of Model Aeronautics. Always pay particular attention to the flying field's rules, as well as the presence and
location of spectators, the wind direction, and any obstacles on the field. Be very careful flying in areas near power lines, tall buildings, or
communication facilities as there may be radio interference in their vicinity.
Once you arrive at the flying field...
- Before you fly, perform a range check to confirm your radio system is responding correctly.
- To do a range check, Power-up the aircraft and either ask a friend to help hold the aircraft or secure it somehow.
- Walk away from the aircraft until the aircraft "glitches" or you notice intermittent control loss .
- Walk back to the aircraft, pacing out the distance.
NOTE :
- When you are ready to fly your model, position the throttle stick or switch to its low speed or off position. Then, you may turn on the
- Use the LOCK function to prevent accidental throttle commands.
- When you have finished flying, turn off the receiver power first- then turn off the transmitter power.
If you do not follow these procedures, the receiver has no information to hold the servos steady and you may
damage your servos or control surfaces or flood your motor.
We want a good range check to be at least 75 feet or so.
transmitter power followed by the receiver power.
- In case of electric-powered models the motor may unexpectedly turn on and cause a severe injury if the transmitter is switched off before
the receiver.
- Before starting the engine, power up the transmitter and receiver, and check to be sure that the servos follow the movement of the sticks.
- If a servo operates abnormally, don't attempt to fly until you determine the cause of the problem.
- Before starting the engine, be sure to check that the transmitter model memory is correct for the chosen model.
- While you're getting ready to fly, if you place your transmitter on the ground, be sure that the wind won't tip it over.
- If it is knocked over, the throttle stick may accidentally get moved causing the engine to race unexpectedly, causing damage or injury to
anyone nearby.
- Finally, don't fly in the rain! Water or moisture may enter the transmitter through the antenna or stick openings and cause erratic operation or
loss of control.
If you must fly in wet weather during a contest, be sure to protect your transmitter with a plastic bag or
waterproof barrier.

This switch does more than just turn the radio on and off-it also gets you into the initial setup programs when you hold down the two "EDIT"
buttons as you slide the switch from "off" to "on".
When you turn off the switch after making selections in the initial setup menu, you "lock" your choices into the radio for this particular model
slot. The switch is coupled to the light located a couple of inches above it-it comes on when the switch comes on and goes off when the
switch is turned.
Programming Switches and Buttons
"EDIT" buttons
This pair of buttons has three basic functions: they get you into the initial setup menu when you hold both EDIT buttons down and then turn
on the radio; they get you into the model setup menu when you push both down when the radio is already on; and once you are in either of
these menus pushing one button scrolls you up or down through the list of menu items.

"CURSOR" buttons
When you are in a particular menu item, you'll use these two buttons to scroll within it-most commonly to the right or left to select a servo
channel. When not in the programming mode, these buttons start, stop and reset the radio's countdown timer.
"DATA" buttons
As the "+" and "-" symbols imply, these buttons allow you to change a numerical value (most often a % value of servo travel) up or down
within a menu item. When not in the programming mode either of these buttons enable the countdown timer.
"LOCK" button
This button is primarily a safety feature for powered models: When you push this button down the throttle channel on the model is taken
off-line so that an accidental movement of the throttle stick won't change the setting. Get in the habit of using this function whenever you are
carrying your model to the flight line.

Trim switches
Use these switches to make small offset adjustments to the servos controlled by the two joysticks.
Any adjustments will be "memorized" for this particular model so you won't have to re-trim every time you fly.

After “Scanning,” you need to do the link process again for all your receivers as receivers need new
frequency hopping codes from the transmitter.
MIN RANGE
MAX RANGE
- Binding must be done within 15ft. (5m) of the transmitter and receiver.
- Transmitter and receiver need to be at least 18in. (45cm) from each other to binding properly.
FAIL-SAFE and Hold Mode
If you use the FAIL-SAFE function, and set it up properly, should the receiver signal somehow be interrupted or interference were to occur,
the servos will move to your pre-set FAIL-SAFE point you previously stored in the receiver during the FAIL-SAFE set-up process.
If FAIL-SAFE has not been activated, the signal is switched off after the HOLD period of 1 sec. This means that the servos become “soft”
and remain in their last commanded position under no load (this may equate to full-throttle!), until a valid signal is picked up again.
In the interests of safety, we recommend that FAIL-SAFE should always be activated, and the FAIL-SAFE settings should be selected so as
to bring the model to a non-critical situation (e.g. motor idle / electric motor OFF, control surfaces neutral, airbrakes extended, aero-tow
release open, etc).
