Frequently asked questions
RTF 450/470/500 X2 controller
Yes. The X2 controller is based on the open-source ArduPilot flight control system, which supports and automatically detects many different RC protocols.
You can find a detailed wiring overview and supported protocols here:
ArduPilot Flight Controller Wiring Guide(https://ardupilot.org/plane/docs/common-flight-controller-wiring.html#common-flight-controller-wiring)
(This guide explains how ArduPilot auto-detects RC protocols such as PPM, SBUS, DSM, and others, and shows how to connect receivers properly.)
When using a different radio transmitter:
• All channel assignments, channel directions, and switch assignments/directions must match the X2’s requirements.
• Verify and adjust these settings in the external radio only, not in the X2 controller.
• You can check the correct output by:
• Viewing the channel output screen on the originally supplied FlySky i6S radio, or
• Using the APM Mission Planner software to monitor channel outputs.
⚠️ Important: We do not recommend changing any settings inside the X2 controller itself. All adjustments should be done on the new radio control to ensure proper operation and safety.
