Hello.

Which adapter do i need to plug into my DX6i to make my AFPD work on my Macintosh.

Here is a photo of my USB dongle, and included cords.


My Dx6i has an inspection sticker pass from 2010

Thank You

You need to get the Ikarus y-adapter cable as per the connection diagram below for JR/Spektrum radios.

The part number for the y-adapter is #31036. You could get it from the following:

This JR/Spektrum adapter is also designed for Aerofly and is lower in cost:

Do you reccomend one over the other?

If they both work with the 6i, I would chose the lower cost. but I'm not aware of any performance differences.

All things being equal, I bought the FXaeromodels part.

Which saves a few bucks because I don't need the other adapter.

Thank You

I am just entering the R/C world, and bought Aerofly 5.7 and a Spektrum DX6i to start training. I've discovered that I too need an adapter to get started. But as I look at the Y adapter, it occured to me. I don't need the Futaba end of the adapter, so couldn't I just use a 1/8" stereo to 1/8" Mono adapter from Radio Shack and achieve the same goal? Like this one?
