Jumper R8 16CH RC Receiver Compatible T16 FrSky D16 D8 Mode Support PIX PX4 APM Flight Controller PWM SBUS Output

The Jumper R8 is a 2.4Ghz receiver that integrates MAVlink telemetry so you can show data from your Pixhawk/PX4 drone on your compatible radio like the Jumper T16, or Frsky Taranis.

The R8 receiver is the first receiver that can directly transmit the PIX and PX4 flight control data to your R/C controller. This can be used to display the flight control data directly on your radio. Apart from this is it just like any other 8 channel SBUS/PWM R/C receiver. Bottom line if you are looking for an R/C link to your Pixhawk drone, this is the receiver you should consider.
