Overview
The RadioLink R8FM is a compact 8-channel mini receiver operating on the 2.4GHz FHSS spread spectrum with SBUS and PPM output. Weighing only 2.5g and measuring 30×17.5mm, it offers excellent performance for racing drones, multicopters, and gliders. With a maximum control range of 2KM (1.24 miles) in unobstructed environments, it ensures reliable long-distance communication and precise control. R8FM is compatible with a wide range of transmitters and flight controllers, including PIXHAWK and MINI PIX.
