Yes, first you need to list the AirComics Airtronics radio in the RCU Marketplace. 
.
.
Next, buy a Futaba radio and then everything will fit. . .

Just kidding . . .
.
If you have a small pair of dykes ( the tool version, not the other version ), you can clip off the small plastic tab.
.
You can also shave it off with an X-acto, but you risk cutting a deep slice into the plug.
.
Then you just have to get the colors straight. Since they've now gone to the "standard" wiring, plugging them in backwards doesn't hurt anything. . .
