2. Introduction
The FS-iT4S is an 8-channel 2.4GHz AFHDS 2A digital proportional R/C system. It is compatible with cars
and boats.
2.1 System Features
The AFHDS 2A (Automatic Frequency Hopping Digital System Second Generation) developed and
patented by FLYSKY is specially developed for all radio control models. Offering superior protection
against interference while maintaining lower power consumption and high reliable receiver sensitivity,
FLYSKY's AFHDS technology is considered to be one of the leaders in the RC market today.
Bidirectional Communication
Capable of sending and receiving data, each transmitter is capable of receiving data
from temperature, altitude and many other types of sensors, servo calibration and i-BUS
Support.
Multi-channel Hopping Frequency
This systems bandwidth ranges from 2.4055GHz to 2.475GHz. This band is divided in
140 channels. Each transmitter hops between 16 channels (32 for Japanese and Korean
versions) in order to reduce interference from other transmitters.
Omni-directional Gain Antenna
The high efficiency Omni-directional high gain antenna cuts down on interference, while
using less power and maintaining a strong reliable connection.
Unique ID Recognition System
Each transmitter and receiver has it's own unique ID. Once the transmitter and receiver
have been paired, they will only communicate with each other, preventing other systems
accidentally connecting to or interfering with the systems operation.
Low Power Consumption
The system is built using highly sensitive low power consumption components,
maintaining high receiver sensitivity, while consuming as little as one tenth the power of a
standard FM system, dramatically extending battery life.

6 Reverse Function
The Reverse function is used to correct a servo or motor's
direction in relation to the systems controls. For example if a
servo is mounted upside down in order to fit inside a model (in
this case steering), when the systems steering wheel is turned
the servo will move in the oppisite direction. To fix this all we
need to do is reverse CH1.
□□
To reverse a channel, touch the channel in the list, when
reversed the slider will be at the "REV".
□□
To reset the function to the default setting touch the
icon.
□□
To return to the main menu touch the

6.1 End Points Function
End points are the limits of the servos range of movement. There are 2 endpoints per channel, one is the
low endpoint and one is the high end point.
To select an endpoint move the desired control surface in the
direction you wish to change. The currently selected endpoint
will be highlighted in yellow.
Once you have choosen an endpoint, touch the channel you
wish to change.
At the top the current channel, selected endpoint and
percentage are shown. The endpoints location is also shown as
a bar and needle
To edit an endpoint's value drag the wheel at the bottom of the
screen. Left to reduce the value and right to increase the value.
6.2 Subtrim Function
Subtrim changes the center point of the channel, for example if a car's wheels are slightly out of alignment
the sub trim could be used to fix this.
To set the subtrim function:
1.
2.
Select the desired channel from the list.
Use the wheel at the bottom of the screen to change the value, a real time readout of the channels
position can be seen in this menu as a green bar.
3. Select the back icon to return to the previous menu and save.
The sub trim has a value representing the current subtrim setting, followed by a graphic representation of
the current trim position. Below the graphic there is a real time read out of the channels current position.

6.2 Steering Exponential
This function changes the response curve of the steering, there are 2 main parameters:
□□
□□
Rate: Changes the outer limits of the steering, the default is 100%. Rate cannot be more than 100%.
Exp.: Changes the steering curve, which changes he response of the steering wheel, the exp setting
can be positive or negative. (Exponential)
Changes to the rate and exponential can be seen on the graph located
in the center of the screen, the system also gives a real-time readout of
the channels current position.
Changes to the rate and exponential can be seen on the graph, located
in the center of the screen. The system also gives a real-time readout of
the channels current position.
Note:
The system gives a real time readout of the channels position, not the
wheels position. The wheel will not correlate with the graph if the rate
is under 100% ,or another function like trim has made changes to the
channels movement and/or outer.
By changing the steering curve we can make the wheel more or less
sensitive in at different areas of its range of movement, for example,
reducing sensitivity at the middle for more control when making fine
adjustments.
Exponential 100%
This function must be set as active before use, to activate the function
make sure that the icon in the bottom left corner is showing a tick, if
there is no tick then press the icon to enable.

1. Select the desired parameter, rate or exp.
2. Use the wheel at the bottom of the screen to change the value.
To restore the entire function to default, select the reset icon located at the bottom center of the screen.
This function can be toggled using a switch/button, this is assigned in the [Keys function].
To restore the entire function to default, select the reset icon located at the bottom center of the screen.
Exponential 0%
Rate 64%
6.3 Steering Speed
This function changes the speed in which the steering travels, if the cars wheels are turning too fast, it
could lead to loss of control, on the other hand if they don’t change position fast enough the car will
become sluggish and slow to make turns. This function is also used to simulate a realistic for scale models.
There are two variables:
Turn Speed: Sets how quickly the wheels turn from their starting position, to the position the systems
controls indicates.
Return Speed: Sets how quickly the wheels turn back to their center position.
To set the steering speed:
1. Select a parameter to change.
2. Use the wheel at the bottom of the screen to change the value.
To restore the entire function to default, select the reset icon located at the bottom center of the screen.
6.4 Steering Mix
This function changes which wheels are involved in steering, front, rear, or 4 wheel steering. To enable this
function select “crawler mode” from the functions main menu.
16
There are 4 types of steering control:
□□
□□
□□
□□
Font side: Front wheel steering. (Default)
Rear side: Rear wheel steering.
Same phase: Front and rear steering at the same time,
when turning a direction all the wheels will turn the
same direction.
Rev. phase (Reverse Phase): The front wheels and back
wheels are both involved in the turning process however,
the rear wheels will always turn the opposite direction to
the front wheels.
To set the steering mix:
Select the desired method of steering, the system shows a preview of the steering method on the
screen in real-time when moving the system wheel.
To reset this function, select the reset icon located at the bottom middle of the screen.
6.5 Throttle Neutral
This function can set a “dead zone” for their throttle control, this means that the throttle will not
function while still within the dead zone. It is also possible to set up the initial amount of throttle that will
be applied when the throttle leaves the dead zone, although this can only be set for driving forward, not
in reverse.
To set the throttle neutral:
□□
□□
Dead zone
To setup the dead zone select the dead zone option at the left side of the screen, and use the wheel
at the bottom of the screen to change the value. The current percentage will be shown above the
graph, labeled as dead zone.
Forward
First select [Forward], next move the wheel to set its value.
Once finished setting up these functions, press the back icon located at the bottom right of the screen to
save.
17
Digital proportional radio control system
FS-lT4S
6.6 Throttle Exponential
This function has two variables:
□□
□□
Rate: Reducing the rate shrinks the outer limits of the curve, as the rate drops below 100% the graph
will update in real-time. The maximum is 100%.
Exp. (Exponential): Exponential adds curve, it is possible to move to +-100% creating opposite curves.
To reset this function select the standard steering mix from the functions main menu.
This function can be toggled using a switch/button, this is assigned in the "Keys function".
6.7 Throttle Curve
This function is used to add a curve to the throttle response, meaning that the throttle will respond
differently throughout its range of movement.
This function must be activated and can be assigned to a button (See "Keys Function"). To activate this
function press the icon located at the bottom left of the screen, once activated this icon should show a
tick.
This function has 5 points that can be edited. To select a point simply touch the corresponding number (L
is the lowest point and H is the highest point).
Once a point is selected use the wheel at the bottom of the screen to change its value, all changes will be
shown in real-time on the graph, if the trigger is moved the graph will show the current throttle position.
To reset this function press the reset icon located at the middle bottom of the screen.
18
6.8 A.B.S.
A.B.S. stands for auto breaking system, and is designed to stop the wheels from locking (which can lead
to loss of control or a skid). A.B.S. manages this by regulating the amount of pressure the breaks use, this
is done by pumping the breaks on and off rather than a constant force.
This function must be active to work, if the icon at the bottom left corner is not showing a tick, select it.
When a tick is shown the function is active.
As a square wave, the peaks representing break on ,and the drops break reduction.
Trigger point: Changes the point in which the A.B.S. will kick in. The trigger point is represented as a white
line on the graph. To change the position of the trigger point use the wheel at the bottom of the screen.
Break return
Controls the amount the break will back off from full break, if set to 50
percent then when the breaks are active, the pulse will remove 50 percent
of the breaks strength on each pulse.
Here the pulses are shown as a square wave, the peaks being break on,
and drops being reduction in breaking. As the break return function is
edited the square wave will change to represent the current return value.
To edit this function simply use the wheel to change its value, as the
value is changed the graph will show a new wave form in real time. To
test apply the brakes, the graph should show another red waveform
representing the current real-time effect. Below the graph is a bar that
shows the breaking position in real time, when this function is active and
the break is applied the green bar will bounce, this is normal and is just
showing the A.B.S. in action.
Delay
This determines how long it takes for the A.B.S. system to take effect. At
a setting of 0% the A.B.S. system will take effect as soon as the break is
applied, however the higher the percentage the longer it will take for the
A.B.S. to kick in.
Cycle length
Increases or decreases the time between pulses, in this menu the A.B.S.
function will be shown as a square wave, the peaks representing break on
, and the drops break reduction.
19
Digital proportional radio control system
FS-lT4S
Trigger point
Changes the point in which the A.B.S. will kick in. The trigger point is
represented as a white line on the graph. To change the position of the
trigger point use the wheel at the bottom of the screen.
The higher the percentage the more the trigger has to be moved in order
for the A.B.S. to kick in.
Duty cycle
Changes the length of each pulse and the gap between them, as
the wheel at the bottom is moved it will change the breaking from a
symmetrical wave form, to a wave form with longer dips or longer peaks.
Changes to the wave form are shown in real time on the graph.
Steering mix
When turning A.B.S. can become a problem for some models, this
function mixes breaking and steering, so that when the car makes a
turn the A.B.S. will be turned off and replaced with a constant breaking
pressure, this will be shown as %N.
To have constant breaking unless turning simply move the wheel the opposite direction so that the
header shows %E.
To change this function simply use the wheel to take it from it’s off position, and apply a percentage of
breaking force.
The graph will show the results real-time, also when the trigger is moved the results will be show on the
graph.
20
6.9 Throttle Speed
This function changes how quickly the throttle will react, both when pressed and released. This is useful
to emulate different models such as big trucks, which in real life take longer to get up to speed and slow
down.
There are 2 main settings in this function:

7 Throttle Middle
This function changes the midpoint of the throttle, this could be used in a
middle in which the servo and the throttle position do not line up with no
throttle, if this is the case the model may move as soon as it’s turned on.
To change the midpoint, use the wheel at the bottom of the screen, the
current position will be shown on the screen in real time.
7.1 Throttle Idel Up
This function is used for models that use a fuel based engine, if left at 0
throttle these engines will stall. To combat this idle up makes sure that the
engine always has some throttle in order to keep it from stalling. When
finished using this mode, you can press the assigned button to bring the
throttle to 0, effectively cutting the engine although this is usually done
using the engine cut function.
This function must be assigned to a switch/button in order to be activated
(see keys function).
To set this function first assigned it to a switch/button, once the button
is pressed the icon in the bottom left corner of the screen (within the
function) should become a tick. Then use the wheel at the bottom of the
screen to change the value.
7.2 Engine Cut
Throttle cut is used for fuel based models and is used to cut the throttle, essentially cutting the engine.
To edit the settings move the wheel at the bottom of the screen. When active the function will stop the
throttle droping below the defined point. For help setting up your model's engine consult the model's
user manual.
This function must be assigned to a switch/button to be activated.

To toggle this function select the box beside "Normal mode", when the function is active the text beside
the box will change to "Boat mode".
7.4 Break Mixing
This function enables you to use models that require more than one
braking channel, for example a model that has separate brakes for from
and back breaking.
If your model uses extra channels for braking, each channel can be
controlled separately and are slaves of the throttle channel. (Exponential
and A.B.S. functions are the same as earlier discussed)
7.5 Mixes
This function is used to create a mix between channels and control methods. For example if at lower
throttle some automated flap movement was desired then it is possible to create a mix to do this. The
difference between curve mixes and linear mixes is that it is not possible to create a nonlinear relationship
between the master and slave. It is possible to have up to 4 mixes.
1.
2.
After selected a mix, select the bottom left icon to ensure there is a tick in the box, next select the
"master", this channel/input will be designate the slaves output. It is possible to select stick/knob,
basic functions or a channel output.
Next select a slave. A slaves may only be output channels, however this also includes any unused aux
channels. Once you have you slave selected you can apply a curve to the mix, to do this select either
the low side or high side as desired and use the wheel to change the value, it is also possible to offset
the channel in relation to the master using the offset option.
Each curve mix can independently be signed to a toggle using the
icon.
