Reddit reviews FlySky FS-i6-M2 2.4GHz 6-Channel Transmitter

Looking at the Amazon listing, you’d need the following:

• A transmitter that works with the version of the drone you get (basically the remote control itself). Low end FlySky radios go for ~$55 and FrSky radios start around $100 (it’s a bit more expensive on Amazon).
  
• Either a set of FPV goggles or a monitor so you can actually see what the drone sees. Low end goggles start around $60ish and become very expensive very quickly.
  
• Multiple extra batteries for the drone, as a single battery lasts only a few minutes in the air. Rotorgeeks has comparable batteries for about $5 a pop
  
• A proper charger for the batteries, since it would take forever to charge multiple batteries at once with that supplied charger. I unfortunately don’t know what would be a good charger here, since my micro drones use a different battery connector than the Snapper.
  
  Frankly, though, if I were you I’d start off with a lower end starter pack. The Eachine E013 is in roughly the same size class but comes with a simple transmitter and a simple pair of goggles for ~$100. You’ll still have to get more batteries and a better charger, but it would be easier on your wallet and more forgiving as a new pilot.

Sure, I ran into some issues with a few lemme grab you a list

I would recommend this radio to start, I have had it for over a year, and I’m not close to outgrowing it yet. FlySky FS-i6-M2 2.4GHz 6-Channel Transmitter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PF160IK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_uMcLzbNJZVAWH

As far as servos are concerned, you can use the super cheap blue 9 gram servos, as they are almost disposable, but I would recommend the metal gear mg90s servos. Nothing more frustrating than landing wrong and accidentally stripping a Servo.

Here are the blue servos: http://r.ebay.com/s0XKOt

I don't have a lot of experience with 2 stick controllers, I found the FlySky FS-i6 for $50:

This is way over kill for what you need, but my quick search did not find any cheap 2 channel stick controllers. If the Vaporizr has a separate receiver, you can replace it, otherwise, if you get a different controller, you will need to get 2 small ESC's as well. That's why I recommended modding the existing controller. You MIGHT be able to find another controller that works on the same radio channel/frequency that uses the same control scheme that is physically larger, but that will involve a lot of searching and trial and error.

You might be cutting it close. Here's a 6 channel tx and rx for 52$: flysky i6 Then a motor and ESC will probably run you another 30-40$. But youll also need servos (~10$) , battery connectors, batteries, charger, etc. If you already have any of those you very well might be ok.

Try this one. The white controller for $71 is the same controller.

So, just arrived, it also didn't come with a controller, because I'm not so great at fully reading descriptions lol any reason to not go with a FlySky FS-i6-M2 2.4GHz 6-Channel Transmitter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PF160IK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_e4VLAbY579SZE ?
