iFlight iF8 OpenTX Frsky D8 radio
iFlight has also released the game pad type radio iF8. It is 2.4G 8 channels radio running OpenTX and is compatible with Frsky D8 protocol. This radio is clearly intended for beginners and is designed to be easy to use. iFlight iF8 radio does not have any LCD display or control buttons just the gimbals and 2 three way and 2 two way switches for setting modes.
The iF8 radio has power button, neck strap hook and the 5 leds, probably for battery charge state indication.
On the back of the radio you can probably find the bind button and the cover to unknown bay.
On the top side of the iF8 radio you can find the 4 switches (2 two-way and 2 three-way) and the slot for external antenna. External antenna was probably in the plans, but the final version went with internal one.
iFlight iF8 radio dimensions are similar to the BetaFPV LiteRadio 2 and Jumper T-Lite radios.

Looks like yet another one that will be sold under multiple brands. See RadioMaster T8 Pro – that one has a screen like Digaus’ BetaFPV Lite Radio 2 mod.
Yes I was wondering if the emax e6 transmitter that runs the open TX D8 protocol will work with the Iflight alpha 65 IF8 whoop? Any help is greatly appreciated..
Hi. If the Iflight alpha 65 comes with the R81 receiver, than it should on standard FrSky D8 protocol. Emax E6 transmitter also works in D8 protocol. So yeah, should work. However there might be some compatibility issues that are unknown at the moment. I would suggest to get the T-Lite or similar radio with OpenTX and multiprotocol module for the best compatibility.
How do we even know what each switch does? Sorry for the noob question but I bought this bundled with the inflight ProTek25 and the package locks much in the way of instructions
You should connect the quadcopter Flight Controller to the PC and run the Betaflight Configurator. Connect and select the Radio tab, check the switch channels (AUX1-AUX…) then check assignments in the Modes tab.
