ok so now I am stuck at getting the R7008sb to talk to PixHawk for my initial set-up.
Do I get a PPM encoder and use the 8 ports into PixHawk vai the encoder or is there another solution yet?

The PixHawk requires a PPM or Horizon based receiver so can get one of the ppm converters but they cost almost as much as a FrSky receiver.

Does this do the trick?
Since you are over at aloft hobbies (where I got my FrSky receivers and my Taranis btw) I would get one of these:
FrSky TFR8SB - 8 Channel FASST Compatible Receiver w/ S.Bus Aloft H...
This is what I have been using but this is what I am using on the smaller platforms:
FrSky TFR4SB - 3 to 16 Channel FASST Compatible Receiver w/ S.Bus A...
I don't like the converters on multi rotors. They just introduce weight and failure points.
I don't think you are going to get that working it uses SB v2 and the Pixhawk won't talk to it. I use one of the FrSky Futaba receivers and then put the 14SG into 8 channel model which then falls back to SB v1. Good news is that the FrSky receiver is around $30 US (I forget the exact amount) instead of the nose bleed amount the Futaba receiver is. At some point I plan to do range checks to see what the difference is but I have not had any issues on the X8, QAV250, and XHover platforms I have used it on.
which selection is for 8ch mode? i have a choice of: FASSTTest-12CH, FASSTMULTI, FASST7CH and S-FHSS
Try the FASST7CH
Take care,
