Default Which trainer cord? 12FG to 6XA

12FG being teacher and 6XA being student.

12FG would be operating FASST.

Thanks in advance!

With the 6EX as the student, set it to PPM modulation per the chart:

Here's the cord you need, since the 6X has the round connector and the 12FG uses the micro:

FUTM4420 MDTC TRNR CORD MICRO/ROUND PLG US$14.99

These parts can be ordered through any hobby retailer who sells Futaba systems and accessories.

Thanks for the reply Bax, but it's a 6XA, not a 6EX. In the manual, it refers to this Tx as "not applicable" - not sure what that means...

Sorry for the mixup. I somehow had the 6EX on the brain.

Because the 12FG uses the smaller battery pack, you need a different trainer cord, but it won't connect to the 6X. With your two transmitters, there's no way to get them to work in a trainer situation.

It's not a super... what a bummer. I specifically bought this Tx to use as a buddy box.

Thanks for clarifying, Bax.
