Ownership verified by DX Is ok
Posted by dddaidl on 6/22/2008
Involvement: General (knows how to use it) - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

Price: starstarstarstarstar
Ease of Use: starstarstarstarstar
Build Quality: starstar
Usefulness: starstar
Overall Rating: starstarstar

Pros: It is cheap and easy, and it works. There is really no need for the cd, it does not contain drivers, it is just plug and play.


Cons: Supports only 4 channels, not 4-8; horrible resolution, the signal is a little jittery, and the jack that plugs into the connector takes some moving around to get it to work, but what do you expect for this price.


Other Thoughts: get it if all you need is four channels, it will do its job.


Bottomline: For the price it does a good job, even though i think they need to change the product description.


Ownership verified by DX Complicated with my futaba but works

Pros: - Works with Flight Model Simulator
- Super cheap in comparison with ebay or stores
- adapters for many controllers
- Should work with Aerofly, at least with a crack (I was about to use it)
- Simulates a classic joystick in Windows XP

Cons: - No manual
- Only instructions on the CD in Chinese.....
- Bad packaging

Other Thoughts: I bought this cable to train for RC modeling.

I borrowed the Futaba T6EXP from a friend and it took me more then 1 hour to make it work because there is no instruction manual.

So here the important issues:

- Your Futaba must be in PPM Mode not PCM
- The trainer switch must be set but no need to go in trainer mode.
- You controller must be ON.

Bottomline: Works!

Pros: Great cable for simulator. Will work with FMS sim definitely and will also work with realflight G3.5 but some modification is required. Really happy to get this to work. Now I can practice flying at home and it is realistic enough to learn the basic manuvers for heli and plane.

Cons: I dont see any con with this product, elsewhere its selling for at least $20, so I'm not complaining

Other Thoughts: none whatsoever, one of the best product that DX sells

Bottomline: if you want to learn how to fly rc, get this cable and you wont regret it.

Pros: Seems to work pretty well with my Futaba 6DA radio, did not like the radio for my BCX2 but others have mentioned compatibility issues with spectrum radios as well. Works well with FMS.

Cons: None really as of yet, I am not too bothered about it only being 4 channel.

Other Thoughts: none_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Bottomline: Great price and easy to hook up, works for me.
