  • interface to Tx, forgotten what it looks like

    Its 5 years or so since I used my Sim, and even then it was occasional use. Since then I've moved to Italy and everything is still in boxes.
    I have found a cable witha a USB one end and a jack on an elbow on the other end with a tectangular box in the middle, but can't find the bit that plugs in to the TX, a Futaba T8FG.
    Can anyone give me a link to an image of the bit I'm missing?
    Will I still be able to use V3.0? Are there any upgrades I can take advantage of?
    Thanks

    The jack should plug into the trainer port on the Tx... Unless Futaba use something different these days?

    You will be able to update it to the very latest version, which is 5.5 think.

      Yeah, futaba don't use a standard jack for their trainer port.
      You can buy an adapter or maybe make one?

      Next heli: I have pretty much everything I want. Maybe I'll upgrade some electronics or something.

        That would explain it. Google tells me that Futaba changed from a standard jack plug to a proprietary square connector in 2001... which shows how long ago it was that I used Futaba


        I guess you would need one of these: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/futaba-t...___store=en_us
