Bubby Box cables
 

I was wondering if anybody tried to use the Real Flight Interlink Cables for a Buddy Box cable. Would the cables work in the field for buddy boxing? I was going to buy a cable but was thinking these may work. Does anyone know for sure?

Thank you in advance,

Realflight Interlink is USB, or at least the one I have is USB. So, I know it is not compatible with the buddy box plug on the back of the transmitter.

Fwiw, I did actually try it. I was looking for something that might allow JR a JR-to-Futaba training cord adapter that wasn't the one Hanger 9 sells (since the Hanger 9 one only works one-way, with the JR as the master and Futaba as the student, I wanted the other way around). I thought that since the cables with Real Flight allowed a JR box to work as the student, and they had an adapater, it might work. But apparently there's something in the pinout somewhere, since it didn't work for me when I played with it.

I think the original poster is referring to the cable that goes from the "trainer port" of the Interlink box to the trainer port of a real transmitter. If so, it might work. It's simple enough to test.

Yes Carrell; that is what I was speaking about. I am still being trained and was going to purchase a trainer cord but was thinking if it works from the interlink to the real TX it may work from TX to TX. I will have to wait till I get to the Club on Sunday and just try it myself. Thanks for your input. :)

I would test it at home tonight but both of my transmitters have "round" trainer ports and one end of the Interlink wire is "square."

No reason to buy a cable if this one will work.

Well, then if that's the case, then the only way to see if it works is to try it. My Realflight 3.5 uses the USB Interlinkl. I do recall the older version had a different setup with the cable and if so, that may... MAY work, but don't be surprized if it does not.

Buddy boxes are not that expensive, you know.

Futaba for $44.99 from Tower.

I've tried it and it didn't work. I had the same idea. Went and purchased a buddy box on ebay for 29.00 with the cord.

It worked for me, i was using a futaba 4exa as a master and a 6ex 2.4ghz as the student, it won't work the other way around, i had both radios on, i was very surprised that this worked for me, it might have something to do with the fact that it is 2 futaba's

acarter, you used a simulator interlink "transmitter" as a buddy box and it worked?

RE: Bubby Box cables
 

Realflight sells an interlink cord where you can use a real transmitter to plug into the RealFlight controller. I think I tried to plug the controller into the real transmitter but couldn't get it to work that way.

I have the G2 RealFlight and it's controller is USB.

CG they are not talking about the plug that goes directly to the computer, there is another cable that is setup like a trainer cord so you can "train" just like at the field

SSSHHH be vewy vewy quiet.

Flea Bay has a ton of them most of the time. usally around $20.00 shipping included. I think guys buy the 4 channel sets to get a cheap on board and sell off the handset.
