Pleasantly Pleased

Aug 17, 2017

I am pleasantly pleased and surprised by the quality and functionality of this radio. The quality of the soldering, components, wiring, mainboard, gimbles, sticks, digital trim taps, and even the case ( which is the same size as the TGY-i6 ) are surprisingly good. I really didn't expect it for such a low price radio system but in all reality it is a very fine radio for the money. It's very similar in its specifications to the Turnigy TGY-i6 system except that this TGY-i4X is a non-computerized system, but expandable to 10-channels using switches and dial knobs. The TGY-i4X even has a good audible sound alarm warning which turns on if and when battery power drops below 4.2V.
I purchased the mode-1 version during the summer madness sale, since it was about 1 USD cheaper, but it was very easy to make the change to mode-2. I wanted a non-computerized radio so that I could make it 10-channels and have a retro-style system to fly once in awhile, for a change.
The package includes a 6-channel receive with bind connector plug, various extra face-plate stickers if you plan to upgrade the transmitter to 10-channels, and a well written user's manual booklet. This was definitely a good purchase for the money and even a better bargain during the summer madness sale event. I'm happy - thank you Hobby King !
