Hello,
I just bought a Futaba 6EXA and in the back it has a rectangular/square port with 6 pin holes.
I have the simulator freeware cd for fms and have been looking for a cable that will plug into my transmitter, but almost all of them are round ports.

I have seen square port cables but they are very expensive. I may as well purchase another transmitter if I were to spend that kind of money on just a cable.

So, I am wondering if anyone knows where I could go to get a cable that would plug into my transmitter? Or do you know where I can go to get an adapter that I could graft unto a simulator cable?

Any ideas would be most appreciated!

Thank you!!! ;)

Square connectors can be ordered from Japanese electronics supplier, but as far as I know, the minimum order size is 100 pieces...
Take a look at FMS Serial PIC interfaces sold by MileHIghWings:

The one you need is $25, not too bad.
