PM me if you are interested.

PM sent ( just need to check compatibility)

Update: Sadly these are not compatible with my 10S Express so I'll have to pass on the offer.

Plenty in stock today at T9 - www.t9hobbysport.com/frsky-rx8r-pro-receiver

Wow so there is stock! I would choose the Pro RX for petrol IC engines but only for the access to rpm, temp, fuel flow from their Gas Module and the data being collect by a LUA script on the TX.

The RX8R Pro supposedly has an extra layer of filtering so that the ignition spark does not affect range/performance. I think this is why the pro receiver is desirable for petrol engines.

Regarding the telemetry, all X-series receivers can get the telemetry you've described can't they?

Thanks for that Mike, they have been on pre-order for several weeks.

Seing your video does make me a little nervous , I thought the pro was meant to address transient electrical interference from electronic ignition units so I'm suprised at the channel interference problems demonstrated.

I'll grab a pro anyway for testing with my petrol engine. I'm also interested in lookig at dual RXand redundancy bus setups at some point.

The RX6R has gone back to T9 for Richard to have a look at. Lots of fun fault finding this with two isrm firmwares, two accst firmwares and one access firmware to try - almost like being back at work


It will all be worth while I'm sure - I'm really pleased with the S6R the stabilisation functionality is very impressive.

I'm sure that I'm just unlucky with my pro receivers and I'd be surprised if you had the same issues.
