Default Airtronics Z connector help?

Good Day All,

I am about to acquire an airtronics receiver that uses the old style connectors (i.e. not the new "Z" connectors).

How to I make my Futaba and Hitec servo's fit the airtronics receiver?

Is there an inexpensive way to do this?

I haven't seen the airtronics old style connector yet so please for give this question if it seems a bit simplistic.

Cheers,

Marcus

Default Z Connectors

Check this web page. You can get them from your LHS (maybe have to order) or from Tower.

Keep in mind when using the Airtronics brand of adapter you will need to shave off the little nub that sticks out on the Futaba plug and shave down the sides of the plug to match what a typical JR plug would look like. Then and only then will ir fit into the female adapter other wise call Dymond RC as they sell the exact adapter you will need for $2.50 each and these will not require you make any aletrations to the Futaba plug.
