Corona Rp8d1 72mhz Receiver

If your an FPV pilot on 72mhz then this is the receiver you want to pick up.

Funny how when you start flying FPV old school is now the new school.

Love these and use them in most of my planes. Range is easy over a mile with this bad boy and unless you just only do long range this is the perfect step to take when getting into fpv. You get great range and reliability.

Works great and at a low cost you can throw it in all your planes and even crash and destroy one and not have to much wrapped up into it.

For me having a system you can trust in your plane is very important.

Thanks to my buddy Alex for turning me on to these little guys.

Check out the vendor I have been using for a while now below if you want to pick one up.

Fast shipping and great packaging.

You can find them on Ebay: RCECHO

Are these updated 72MHz that do the frequency jumping like 2.4 GHz, or do they have a static channel? Those of us getting into the hobby and starting with 2.4 GHz, may be unaware of the dangers of two people using the same frequency at the same time.

They lock into a channel and have good filtering but the odds are very low your going to run into an issue if someone else is on 72. You just make sure your not on the same channel then your done go fly. Much better than 2.4 because on 72 you now can fly using 2.4 for video or 5.8 or 1.3 or 900 its all open.

Are you using a 72MHz transmitter, a Tx Module with crystal, or Tx Module with Synthesized 72MHz RF?

You need a crystal in your radio but that is all.

Have you tried this RX in a quad? I had been using one in my planes/helicopters for quite some time before I went to 2.4ghz. When I did, I transplanted the RP8D1 into my FPV quad, and attempted some "long range". The quad made it about 70 yards before total signal loss and crash. The rx had worked great on my planes, for as far as I could see (I wasn't into FPV at the time).

After doing some research, I had seen other reports of people having trouble with 72mhz on multirotors. Since there is no way to route the antenna far away from the motors like on an airplane, the noise from the motors just overwhelms the signal and range is reduced....at least that's the theory. I'm wondering... was my experience unique, or is 72mhz on a multi a really terrible idea?

I had an issue with my multi as well but have seen guys right them straight up from the quad instead of just out the tail and this worked better. For me this is great for planes and for quads i am on lrs now.

I'm planning on buying two of these receivers to go with my two 72MHz transmitters, but I have a question about these receivers. In the specifications it says that it modulates on FM/PPM. Does that mean that it only receives on FM and or PPM frequencies or can it receive on AM frequencies as well? What is PPM? Both of my transmitters are Futaba 72MHz AM Transmitters and both of them are about 18 years old and still work great. I would just like to know if these will work with my transmitter or not before buying them. As of right now they are on back order.

I would say yes on fm only but i have not tested it on older stuff. Just message them or look on ebay lots of other sellers if they are out.
