Re: Futaba and Pheonix

A wireless solution would be the best. Those futaba square plugs have a nasty habit of losing connection.
If you insist on a lead make sure its from a good source as there are reports of cheap ones frying the tx

the problem with the square plugs is the pins are loose in the plug and over time they get pushed back too far and obviously cant make contact. I pulled the cover off mine and epoxied em in place, no issues at all now

To expand on the poor connectors issue with the futaba system. I have had to repair probably three or four futaba tx's due to the 6 pin connector material. The pins are made from a brittle phospher bronze type material that beraks as you insert the plug. The pins in the plugs are useless and they push out but the sockets in the transmitter are equally to blame for the problems. They break in normal use.
