# FlySky FS-iA8X 8-Channel AFHDS 2A Micro Receiver

**Type:** Product page · **SKU:** CE10638 · **Brand:** [FlySky](https://core-electronics.com.au/brands/flysky-australia)
**Page:** https://core-electronics.com.au/flysky-fs-ia8x-8-channel-afhds-2a-micro-receiver.html ([markdown](https://core-electronics.com.au/flysky-fs-ia8x-8-channel-afhds-2a-micro-receiver.html.md))

Gives your FlySky system a home in builds where a standard receiver won't fit — clean single-wire control, and barely any weight to carry.

## Pricing

- **Price:** $21.60 (inc GST) — $19.64 AUD, exc GST

## Availability & dispatch

- In stock, ships same business day if ordered before 2PM (Australia/Sydney).
- We can dispatch 15 today; more stock is typically available with a 8–35 day lead time.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE10638:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE10638:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

Eight channels of AFHDS 2A control in a package that weighs 1.1 grams and measures 15 x 13mm — small enough to vanish into a micro quad frame, and more than enough channels for flying.

Traditional receivers need a servo lead per channel, which is a problem when the airframe has no room for a loom. This one has no PWM outputs at all: every channel arrives at your flight controller (or microcontroller) over a single i-BUS or PPM signal wire. Less wiring, less weight, and lower latency than PPM alone.

The link is bidirectional, hopping across 135 bands in the 2.4GHz spectrum to hold control together in RF congested environments. It binds to any FlySky transmitter running AFHDS 2A — FS-i6, FS-i6X, and the FS-i4 — and there's no bind button to fumble: put the transmitter into bind mode, apply power, and the LED goes solid once the binding is complete.

### Features

- One signal wire instead of a servo loom - i-BUS or PPM feeds the whole channel set to your controller from a single pad
- i-BUS runs un-inverted, so F4-based flight controllers don't need the hardware signal inversion that S.BUS demands
- Bidirectional AFHDS 2A link with frequency hopping holds a solid connection where single-direction receivers drop out
- Runs directly from 4.0-8.4V, so a standard BEC or a 2S pack powers it without a separate regulator
