Default RE: buddy box set up


ORIGINAL: Pa-18cub150

I have a Futaba T6exap that I would like to use with a Futaba T4yf as a buddy box. The T4yf is suppose to be set up as a buddy box only. the 4yf has no antenna, battery, or Xtl. Will this setup work together?

I have also observed that when the trainer switch is lifted on the t6exap I still have control with the 6exa. Is this correct?

One more thing the cord that came with the buddy box seems to have a Jr end and a Futaba pig tail. Dos this mean that I can use the t4yf buddy box with my Jr f400?
You can buy the cord to work with different TXs, in my case I have the small square end for my TX and the round end with pins fro using with Hitec and Futaba. My TX is a Futaba 9-C and I have been using an older Hitec 7 for the box. The box dose not get the antenna pulled or turned on. It does show me the volts in it though?? Running the system does also draw a lot more juice out of my radio but it has more volts then is showing on the Hitec?? I set up one of my stunt planes with a box last week and tried it out yesterday. It's a lot of fun letting others try flying full stunt planes set up in ways they would never try. I'm going to set up a couple more on the box just so people can try flying different planes without any fear of crashing. Yesterday I taught a friend how to flat spin. After that he was spinning one of his own planes flight after flight. Don't know why I haven't done it sooner.
