FrSky TFR6 7ch 2.4Ghz Receiver FASST Compatible

 Francis 12 points

I have had the same problem before. But i didnt buy mine from HK. I tried so many different ways to bind it to my tx and it still wouldnt bind. The problem is the rx is faulty. You will need to contact HK in regards of faulty products and see if you can get it replaced for new.

I have four pcs in my aircrafts and I don't have problem with binding these receivers with futaba TX . I bind this rx with 6ex 7c and 8fg transmitters and no problem. You must have one faulty piece. Contact Hk RMA...

NO PROBLEM is perfect, I have that works 4 pieces is 1,5 kilometers renge Make buy without fear

Update - Futaba 6106 does the same thing when using the 3317M (metal gears) servos but works fine with Turnigy 3317C (plastic gears) - I have to assume the TFR6 might work ok with the 3317C's.
My Futaba 617 Rx's work fine with the 3317M's.

 Ron Hayward 16 points

Latest update - using the Futaba 6106 Rx's, I finally changed ESC to a 36 amp Castle - no more problem, no matter what combination I used. Evidently, the Mystery ESC's don't supply enough amps to drive the Turnigy servos. I have to assume there wan nothing wrong with the Frsky Rx's after all

 Francis 12 points

As long as your futaba tx is fasst compatible, then should be no problem. Im using 8fg super and it works great.

There is nothing wrong with receiver. You have to programe your Radio so you can use 5th channel for retracts. Every radio software is diferent so it is hard to tell how to programe it. On my radio is very simple (T8FGS). I just have to assign swich I choose to use for retracts on 5th channel, and than tell it in which position activates retracts.

 sidd232 646 points

yes i know, the thing is that if i plug my original futaba receiver the retracts will work perfect but when in switch to this receiver they just won't work.

 Matej 30 points

Try reversing 5th channel, or change swich status. when it's OFF, progrme it on ON, and when it's ON programe it on OFF. Also you cat try to put your retracts on 6th or 7th channel if they are free, or just to test if retracts work on any of those channels.

Contanos si lo pudistes soluciona y en que cantidad de canales los estas linkiando.

 Matej 30 points

Guillermo please try to write in english, not everybody speaks spanish.... It doesn't have to be written perfect, but most of the people understand english, and it would be easier to solve the problem that sidd232, or anybody else has... Im sure you have some clever suggestions, but they're worthless if they're written in spanish, for most of the people.

 sidd232 646 points

Thanks Matej but don't worry i speak english , spanish french and others, now to guillermo: No he podido solucionar el problema y dado a eso no he usado este receptor aun pues quiza esta defectuoso, estoy tratando de contactar con hk pero como te imaginaras me haran regresar el paquete y el envio desde canada me sale mas caro que comprar 2 rx nuevos, entonces creo que mejor lo dejo asi, cualquier cosa te hago saber, gracias.

 guillermo 1 points

Let's see now, I'm with a translator online. Generally, these problems are passed when the radio is linqueada in 7ch, test doing work in 10 ch radio, you have everything back but in 10ch, while it may be of 7ch.

 Matej 30 points

Guillermo thank you for your effort, writing in english. If I understand, you aresaying that there is difference betwen 7 ch mode and 8 or multichannel mode. It is worth a try. I definetly think that this is just a programming issue on radio. Sidd232, have you had any luck making your retracts work? All other controls connected to this receiver work?

 Matej 30 points

Yes, I have T8FG S and I have 5 or 6 of those receivers and all of them work flawlessly. As said nuber of times in posts below: this receiver WILL WORK WITH ANY FUTABA THAT HAS FASST SYSTEM!

 LCidBR 352 points

The Bind is only possible with a Futaba FASST system Tx  * Apparently your Tx is a Turnigy with incompatible system.

 Maximiliano 1 points

My noobness reached a whole new level... but still this product was in the Frsky ACCST menu, and I thought it was ALSO compatible with FASST. Darn... I need a new receiver.

 LCidBR 352 points

These mistakes are normal, do not worry. You can still sell this Rx. Look for Rx compatible with your TX in "Radios & Receivers" and "2.4Ghz Turnigy." Good luck

 chris 22 points

No...this receiver is specifically for futaba fasst system radios.

 Luiz Carlos 49 points

Sim, compativel e de excelente qualidade!

 Imboden 14 points

Hello It works as good as the r617fs' one. Best regards

 Matej 30 points

As said below, you turn on TX, hold button on RX and swich on RX. In about a second the RX should bind with TX. But I had also problems and figured out tat your TX should be set on 7 ch mode! (check your saettings) Otherwise it wont bind! (I have T8FG, so I dont know if it is same setting)

 Asad 3 points

Thanks for the reply. But the T6J is only 6 channels. I'll check anyway id there is the possibility to set it to something else.

 Kmichu87 12 points

hy the t6j is a fhss system not a faast this gone not for your transmiter *)

 Matej 30 points

Kmichu si right... Sorry mate, you boght the wrong receiver. T6j has FHSS system, and it wont work with FASST receiver. First thing I checked before I replied you is if your TX has FASST system. I don't know what i was checking, I just remember that I saw T6J and FASST written in one sentence.

 Asad 3 points

Hi, thanks a lot. I thought so this was the case. Actually a friend gave me this receiver. Anyways i'll have to look for another one. But us it possible to make it work with any other tx apart from futaba.

 Matej 30 points

No, this receiver si strictly for Futaba TX with FASST system. FASST = Futaba Advanced Spread Spectrum Technology

 chris 22 points

Both run on different system...they canr work...this receiver is on fasst system.ur tx is on fhss

 CHRIS SV AZ 193 points

Yes it will!

 Matej 30 points

This receiver will operate with any futaba that has FASST sytem.

 76Mustang76 1 points

Yes it should do as long as its a FASST system

 chris 22 points

If only your radio has a futaba fasst system module.

 Matej 30 points

I would suggest that HK brings to local waresouses heavier products, becouse i can get two of these receivers for four bucks (shipping is 4 bucks), and customs don't even know how much are worth, so i get them directly to my home. But it is true that it takes almost a month that they arrive...

 Schorch 146 points

Did you follow the manual for the correct binding process? Switch on your transmitter, then hold the binding button on the receiver and switch it on, it should bind to your transmitter within only a few seconds.

 solex 11 points

Hold binding button on transmitter, switch on the transmitter. Then hold the binding button on the receiver and switch it on. (This is how I had to do it)

 John P 6 points

Lucio, can you give more detail of the problem you have? I have 2 of these receivers and they work very well with my T7C transmitter.

 Schorch 146 points

We need them in the german warehouse...

 brink 5 points

we need them in uk warehouse as well why make it so hard to bye things

 bgjbrok 59 points

We all need it close by. Where I used to move the RX from plane to plane, now all my setups do have there own receiver.

 weekendflyer 966 points

while there is no exact definition of full range, this labelled as 1.5km or almost a mile range. I flew 20cc gasser with this with the plane almost out of sight and still worked well.

 D'IGNAZIO 20 points

Io ne ho testate 2 e perdono il segnale a circa 500 metri, verificato all'aperto con conta km auto. le ricevente e' perfetta per piccoli modelli, non allontanatevi troppo!

 D'IGNAZIO 20 points

Mi auto quoto, provata ieri con moto aliante allontanato fino a perdita d'occhio circa 1 km , perfetta, forse la prova a terra dava problemi,non lo so, posso solo dire che mi sono allontanato all'inverosimile, nessuna perdita di segnale , favolosa ricevente!

 weekendflyer 966 points

I never encountered signal loss up to now even on my gasoline airplane which is notoriously famous for high interference, but I set the f/s on the rx side, I did as described in the manual and tested it by turning off the TX.

 Greenfuelboy 162 points

I have eight of these receivers. I use them in 7 channel mode with my 8FG Super. I set fail safe on the receiver and not the transmitter. Move the sticks in any desired position and push the bind button for a split second and your fail safe is set. It is that easy. So far so good I have not had any problems.

 Greenfuelboy 162 points

TFR6 supports failsafe function for all channels. Follow the steps below to set failsafe on TFR6: 1) Bind the receiver first, and disable failsafe on the transmitter side* 2) Set all transmitter controls to the desired failsafe position* 3) Press briefly the F/S button of the receiver, the GREEN LED of the receiver will flash twice, indicating the failsafe is set up successfully. If you do not need the failsafe function any more, just re-bind the receiver to set default failsafe mode.

 strick1940 3 points

Greenfuelboy,
If the TX fails and failsafe sets the control surfaces to your trimmed positions, how do you get the plane down without it flying away until it runs out of fuel or battery? I may not understand how failsafe really works.

 Greenfuelboy 162 points

You can set the fail safe to your desired position. It does not have to be in the netural trimmed setting. You should set the fail safe to lower the throttle, or even kill the engine if you loose the radio. I have my planes fly in a slow circle at a slight decent if the radio is turned off. You can test it in flight to get it where you want. It takes a second for the receiver to catch up when power the radio back on. Make sure the plane is high enough to recover if you have too much adjustment on one of the settings.

 kmh299 15 points

Friend, I just bought a super t8FG, and 8 of this RX. I wonder what it is and how it works Fail Safe? Can you help me? thank you

 Greenfuelboy 162 points

You will need to disable the fail safe on your 8FG transmitter. Then hold the sticks on your radio in the desired position and have some one push the bind button. This will set the fail safe. You can read the post above ART. I posted it and has good information.

 strick1940 3 points

kmh299,
I would read all of Greenfuelboy's comments about binding your RX to your TX. Good information.

 kmh299 15 points

yes, you have some tutorial talking about it?

 SWAMI 5 points

Yes, that sounds right.

 SWAMI 5 points

Make sure you have PCM mode disabled and PPM mode enabled in transmitter.

 Greenfuelboy 162 points

They will not bind with the receiver power turned on first. Just plug every thing in make sure the receiver switch is turned off. Then turn on the transmitter push the bind button on the receiver and turn the switch for the receiver on. It will take a second once you let go of the bind button you should be bound. I bound all of mine on the work bench when I bought them. I think there was a green light once bound but I can not remember. I hope I have helped.

 strick1940 3 points

Greenfuelboy,
Your bind procedure worked perfect for me. I have a Futaba 6ex 2.8ghz fasst tx. Just make sure the esc is plugged into position three to drive the motor.

 Greenfuelboy 162 points

Now you have it bound if you want to use fail safe you can have a buddy hold the sticks in the desired position and push the bind button. The fail safe should turn on. All you need to do is turn the transmitter off to see if it worked. The servos should go to the desired position when powering off the transmitter. To disable fail safe just repeat the bind process.

 Marc Volovic 65 points

Yes. I had one receiver that developed this kind of problems after about a month. Within a few days, it stopped binding altogether. Do NOT use this receiver any more.

 SWAMI 5 points

Voltage level to receiver may be dropping too low in 'some phases'. Buy HK voltage boost capacitor (just like bass boost on car stereo) and install it in your receiver.

 Marc Volovic 65 points

The above may be true, but this happened with a full, new batteries on 6v BEC setting.

 skyfox60 249 points

Even on a BEC set to 6V this may happen, if your current consumption is to high, voltage will drop for lets say a millisecond, which is enough to have a so called brown out. This receiver will work down to 3,5V ( so better than some futaba ones ) but below, you have a brown out. I use 6 of this receivers for 2 years now with absolutely no problem at all. It is very good. So you should redesign your power supply. If you use ESC-inbuild BEC, I now whats wrong. Never do this, they are all ****. Allways use a good external bec with a second battery, notor from the motor battery, except on small park flyers or gliders with to small standart servo. All other srtuff should be good powered. I m sure, that your BEC is not able to power your system in all situations, so do not make the receiver responsible for what happened in your case.

 Marc Volovic 65 points

You are potentially right, especially if you have many (more than 3) servos, especially digital ones which have a high stall current. However, what Vasilis describes happened to me and was then tested with one servo attached to the Rx. Once the intermittency starts, the receiver is best not used again. In my case, the Rx - in the end - refused to rebind no matter WHAT was done.

 weekendflyer 966 points

use separate BEC and extra battery, don't forget to cut the or middle wire on the throttle cable that goes from rx to esc.

 SWAMI 5 points

Happy landings!

 flybyrc 58 points

thanks starcad, I have the same radio.Did you go by the usual binding procedure

 starcad 9 points

Yes I did, just turned on the transmitter and the added power to the rec while pressing the bind button and in around a second it was done. 3 flights now and loving this little jewel.

 flybyrc 58 points

thanks Starcad

 weekendflyer 966 points

all/any port connect to the power. if you use all 7 channels you can use Y cable, pick any channel for example throttle/channel 3. Y cable 1 female goes to throttle servo, another female connect to the BEC/power, and the male connect to the receiver

 SWAMI 5 points

Place the battery in the middle of the servo connectors if possible for minimum voltage drop on the receiver DC bus.
