Review on 🚁 iFlight Alpha A65: The Ultimate 1S Brushless Tiny Whoop FPV Drone for Indoor and Outdoor FPV Flying (R81-SPI Receiver Included) by Tommy Maynard

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Can't wait to fly

Everything was delivered as promised. Reliable construction and assembly. I'm NOT a newbie when it comes to hooking up drones to a TX, but I bought it bundled with an IFlight iF8 controller. There is an R81 receiver in the whoop. I can't bind at all. I read about it in Q&A, I even asked separate questions and got an answer. According to the manual the receiver is NOT listed, there is NO binding procedure for a noob to follow - not even on the website. The website is worse because it tells you how to connect ALL of those other receivers EXCEPT the one most will buy because it's an iFlight controller. The video in the description is terrible. If I find out I'm sick, take it easy and click and post the video to link the iF8 controller to this oops. A few have failed and I hate to think I need to invest in another TX like Jumper or Radio Master even though this is a real Uphrade2. but most wanted to use iF8. I also read in several posts that the support was terrible and forced them to send everything back. In that case I will update this review as your customers need BIG support. When I find out that I'm bad at sharing with everyone, everything looks good so far. Betaflight is everything. SEE a cozy tutorial on how to bind with the iF8 controller (better than what is there), LMC by just liking it. Once I solve this dilemma I will make a video and encourage others to test themselves better. If you. Someone using an iF8 controller with this whoop please make a video. . although you are teaching someone to drive etc. Help each other. IFlight I will be more than happy to change the stars if I can tie this. The D8 protocol does not work.

Pros
  • Quadcopters and Multicopters
Cons
