I'm pleased I went for the Turnigy version - wasn't too happy about the eBay sellers - they all seemed to come from the same location, and if there's no printed manual that just confirms my choice.
I have the printed manual if you need a copy I can scan and send. There may be a copy of another version of the software on the CD.

Jay - yes you can use the BEC no problem. One thing to note is the different allocation of channels. 1 and 2 are on the right stick and 3 and 4 on the left in Mode 2. Reversed in Mode 1. Still working out the remainder of the facilities! The manual is not always very helpful.
One thing I don't particuarly like is the very long aerial leads on the iA6 Rx - the 6B is slightly better.

Yes - I have the 6B receiver but no sensors yet. I haven't been able to find any information on that receiver and its sensors. The standard receiver automatically monitors the receiver voltage, which if you are using the BEC, indirectly monitors the drive battery
So far I've set up the standard receiver on one model.

But doesn't the BEC only send out 6 V? so if you are running on more than that in my case 12v does it show that?

Sorry Jay - I didn't mean to imply that it showed the full voltage. I only use 6 to 7 volts, so if that drops too low, the BEC voltage will fall. I will be buying the voltage sensor soon.

No Prob Barrie just thought maybe I need not have bothered with the 6B which I only got for the lipo voltage
