Frequently Asked Questions

What firmware does the FlySky FS-ST16 support?

The FS-ST16 natively runs FlySky OS but is fully compatible with the open-source EdgeTX firmware. This allows pilots to flash EdgeTX for access to its extensive customization features, including advanced mixer scripting, Lua applications, and a more flexible user interface, all while retaining full functionality with FlySky's AFHDS 3 protocol.

What type of batteries does the FS-ST16 transmitter use?

The transmitter is designed to operate on a 2S LiPo battery pack, typically using two 18650 cells, providing a voltage range of 6-9V. It also includes a USB Type-C port for convenient charging of the internal battery pack, eliminating the need for external chargers in many cases.

Is the included FS SR8 receiver compatible with FPV drones?

Yes, the included FS SR8 is an 8-channel PWM receiver compatible with the AFHDS 3 protocol. It is suitable for many FPV drone and fixed-wing builds, providing stable control and telemetry feedback. For drones requiring serial protocols like SBUS or CRSF, you would need to use a separate FlySky serial receiver compatible with the FS-ST16.
