Trying to find a USB sim cable for a Futaba Skysport transmiter. It has the larger round trainer port on it, (If I am wrong on that someone correct me).
If anyone has one that they would sell me or know of an online source for these (in the US) at a reasonable price please PM me.
I found tons of them on ebay but they all ship from Hong Kong and that takes some time.
Thanks for any help...
:(

Seems like a rather odd statement . . do you not actually have the transmitter? This link (http://www.futabarc.com/radios/futj40.html) shows the square port?
Dedicated FMS controllers are only around $20.

I emailed the guy I bought it from, he said it had the round type trainer port.
When I order one is there only one "round" size for Futaba, besides the square one?

So long as you order the round 6-pin you'll be o.k. Over the years Futaba have had 3 different trainer ports -5 pin DIN round, 6 pin DIN round and 6 pin rectangular. Yours will be the 6 pin round.
