FAQ
Note:
The Commando 8 remote controller uses a high-precision digital Hall sensor. Without enabling the stick deadzone and ADC filter, stick bounces within 0.5% are considered normal.
TRYP Simulator Key Option Note: Because this product is a virtual product, we will send the Key via email after the customer receives the package of Commando 8. Therefore, please contact customer service to obtain it after receiving the package.
Description
The upgraded iFlight Commando 8 is here, equipped with fully integrated iFlight ExpressLRS hardware, a Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator, and an upgraded cooling system. The inclusion of a Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator further improves the drone's performance. These enhancements not only improve the drone's performance and reliability but also provide a more enjoyable and seamless flight experience for drone enthusiasts.
No additional external module is necessary to run ELRS. If you're planning to run another TX module, please check out the optional add-on external module bay.
ExpressLRS TX modules were developed in close cooperation with the ExpressLRS Team with firmware targets already released.
3. Crystal Oscillator Upgrade: Upgraded from ordinary active crystal oscillator to TCXO (Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator), which can improve the frequency-error problem.
4. Antenna Ｍode Upgrade: ELRS 2.4GHz RX module is changed from single antenna mode to Antenna Diversity mode.
5. Antenna Change: The antenna of ELRS 2.4GHz V2 changed from a single-frequency 2.4GHz antenna to a 2.4GHz single-frequency dual antenna; ELRS 900 V2 antenna remains unchanged.
Performance and Compatibility
Please use iFlight ELRS receivers coupled with our transmitter for maximum performance! We've probably achieved the market's best crystal frequency stability at a very low frequency deviation. Please check this article for further information https://www.expresslrs.org/hardware/crystal-frequency-error/?h=crystal+frequency
Band Options
The 900MHz as well as 2400MHz band have outstanding performance and long range capabilities. If you're not sure what to get, please check out the official ELRS Long Range Competition to see what has been achieved. https://www.expresslrs.org/2.0/info/long-range/
What can I expect? Due to local regulations, the 900MHz FCC region seems to have a better performance than the 868MHz EU region. The 2400MHz band works great in any region, and has a higher packet rate up to 500hz. This is not a common 2400MHz protocol and cannot be compared to anything prior on the market.
ELRS Only Option (Single TX)
Single ELRS option includes 1x ELRS 2.4GHz/900MHz V2 TX module (please select band) pre-installed in the back of the radio Cooling fan is inside the flat back cover.
