I've got a new flyer that has a Megatech Air Strike with an Airtronics VG400. We are Futaba dominate at our field. I've got a few RD600s laying around that came with planes I've bought in the past.

Does anyone know if the RD6000 can be used as a trainer box with the VG400. The trainer cord socket is the same as Futaba, is the cord the same or a different pinout.

Thanks

Airtronics sells a standard trainer system cable that's compatible with their entire line except Stylus/Infinity. It's not compatible with anybody else's.

Yes, either the VG400 or the RD6000 can act as a buddy-box to the other... as long as servo reversing, travel etc match. Oh yes, the alarms(countdown, low battery etc) on the RD6000 will only work if it is the master TX.

You can also get a trainer cord from (I think) Expert Electronics that will work with those radios... runs about $12.00 Canadian at the LHS.

Hi,

Have a look at my website for info on Sanwa/Airtronic buddy box pin-layout (chapter 3 and chapter 7 for the cord) The info for that came from someone who succesfully connected a VG400 to a RD6000 AND vice-versa for buddy-box purpose.

Succes,
Olivier
