I bought a Eachine M80 from Banfggood, but it is "BNF". I did not catch that.
See Banggood link.
Now I have the drone without a flight controller.
I searched Banggood but cannot find a controller for M80.
Would someone please help me fix this stupid mistake of mine?
 
Firstly, I'm assuming you're referring to controller as in transmitter. To guide you in the correct direction, we need to know which model you ordered (which receiver), Spektrum, Flysky or FRSky? (Sorry, your link doesn't work)
 
OK, so you ordered the model with DSM2/DSMX receiver. This is Spektrum protocol so you only have a couple options. Firstly is the OrangeRX T-SIX transmitter which is quite economical but discontinued and hard to find. The second option is an actual Spektrum transmitter and you will have a hard time finding one for under $200
 
OK. I'll look for one.
I bought this M80 specifically for learning to fly with the goggle. This M80 has altitude hold. So, I thought it would be right for me.
Now I have to search for a transmitter.
Thank you.

Will this one do ?

Spektrum DXe Transmitter
 
Don't get the DXe this has to be set up on a pc , look for newer DX6 , or a second hand DX 8 or DX9
Also the DXe can only do one model at a time , the DX8 or 9 will also do telemetry it has voice so will tell you what's going on because you can look at transmitter while flying
 
So if you're comparing it to a toy grade quad where you just turn it on, left stick forward then back to "bind", then yes, there is some initial setup to do before you can fly. Keep in mind that these transmitters are multi-use, so you have to set it up for multirotor vs airplane or helicopter
 
Unfortunately I already bought it.

I am quite well versed with computer. I think I can handle it. If not I'll come back for help.
 
The DXe is strange it's used on RTF kits ( helis or planes ) I have one with a blade 230s heli , your need to set up as a aeroplane no mixing at all , once you do get it set up it will only work that model , if it was me i would try and cancel the purchase and get an easier to set up and adjust , sorry to put a downer on things but I feel it's going to be hard work to set up
 
I apologize sincerely.
I have misinformed you.
I did not buy the DXe.
I bought the Genuine OrangeRx T-Six suggested by RENOV8R
