David Ashby - Moderator Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 DavidAre they older unit's ? My skysport 4 has a trainer socket (round DIN socket on reverse of case)Newer Futaba TX's use a square socket but (square to round) converter leads are available - just buy or order in a model shop. You could ring Ripmax service dept afor advice bout adding a trainer socket. You'd need to cut the casing and whilst I'm sure your soldering skills are better than mine I wouldn't trust even the best solder'er in the land to do the job retrospectively. Transmitters are so cheap these days, just buy a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Fenton Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 I saw a site on the web that showed exactly how to add a buddy port to an old Futaba last week while researching something else, can I find it again now? no......sorry. I will keep looking. The secret is out there I've seen it LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Fenton Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Sorry David, I found the page but it is for a different Tx, you could apply the same technique, if you want the challenge otherwise as David says transmitters are pretty cheap nowadays.http://www.mftech.de/buchsen_en.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
