Default Futaba 8FG Question

I am trying to use my Sirius Charger with my Futaba 8FG. Does anybody make a connector that will fit the 8FG charge port?

Thanks,
Tony

Doug,
Thanks, that might work. I will have to see if I can find an adapter for the Sirius charger, If not, I could always make one.

Thanks,
Tony

Thanks Doug, I just bookmarked that page, as I need one too Saved me from searching for it.
Tony, do you have a charge lead for your Sirius charger with a female Futaba connector for charging receiver packs? If so, just open the battery compartment and connect to your charger, this will work until you get the new charge cord. I've done connected it this way when I wanted to cycle the battery in my 8FG
Good luck,
Pete

Pete,
Yes I do have one of those connectors for my Sirius. I don't like taking the battery out of the transmitter so I just ordered that connector that Doug mentioned. It should be at my LHS by the weekend so I will all set. Thanks again for that link Doug!
