Honeybee2 - Compatibility of Sim Cables

Hi everyone, I've just bought my first RC Helicopter - an ESky Honeybee 2. Unfortunately I didn't get a link cable with it The seller has been very apologetic as it should have been included but doesn't have one in stock for this model - he has at least been decent enough to offer to refund the cost of my purchasing one.

The problem is that I'm not sure where to look or what to look for - I gather that the most common type of link cable is a microphone type cable, however the socket on the back of the controller looks more like an S-Video/S-VHS socket. The picture on the back of the manual looks like the other end of the cable is either a serial or joystick plug.

So far I've tried google searching for the part number which didnt generate any productive hits, so I was wondering whether there was a generic part (ideally available in the UK) that I could purchase to do the job.

Thanks in advance!

Sabeltann,

I just received a Honeybee2 this afternoon, and I did receive the cable. If you email me at cshorter@gmail.com, I'll send you a couple of pics tomorrow, plus any manufacturer information that might be on the cable itself. I can also supply you with the name of the distributor I purchased my heli from, he's located in California, USA, though, I don't know if that'll be a problem getting one to you in the UK.

None of the regular TX-to-PC cables will work with E-Sky HB2 transmitter. This TX, as well as its twin brothers E-flite and Twister "Channels Six" CCPM transmitters, have non-disableable CCPM, which prevents them from being used with any simulator.

Fortunately, there's a special CCPM "un-mixing" interface sold by milehighwings.com
http://www.milehighwings.com/usb_cables.htm
which works with your transmitter and with all non-copyprotected simulators. It's USB and works in all Windows versions, including XP, as well as in MacOS X.

I hope you'll find this info helpful,
