Equipment help needed
 

Hi, I'm thinking of getting a sim for my 27" iMac.

I use Spektrum equipment. I have a DX-7 and a DX-8.

What are my connection options for using one or both of these transmitters and if more than one option exists, what are the relative pros and cons?

Thanks,

Craig.

You can find information about compatible controllers for aeroflyRC7 here:
http://aeroflyrc.com/input-devices.html

For Spektrum radios, you will need to get the following:

1) usb interface for RC7 (Ikarus p/n 3031010)
2) y- adapter cable (ikarus p/n 31036)

Customers can order these online from http://shop.ikarus.net/ if based in Europe,
or http://shop.ikarus-usa.com/ if based in the USA.

For wireless connection with a Spektrum receiver, you will need the Ikarus RC SimConnector (Ikarus p/n 3031100)
Customers can order this online from http://shop.ikarus.net/en/aeroflyrc7...-receiver.html if based in Europe,
or http://shop.ikarus-usa.com/en/home/7...-receiver.html if based in the USA. You may download the manual for the RC SimConnector here http://www.ikarus.net/downloads/manu...ikarus-usa.pdf

Craig, please also check that your mac system and graphics card meet the requirements for RC7 here http://www.aeroflyrc.com/requirements.html

The 3031010 comes with a 3.5mm stereo plug which needs to be converted to a 3.5mm mono connection using the 31036 adapter. Please do not use a conventional stereo-to-mono audio converter as the internal wiring is different.
