2.4GHz 6-CHANNEL COMPUTER RADIO
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Tactic's TTX650 computer transmitter uses the advanced 2.4GHz spread spectrum SLT "Secure Link Technology"
protocol for solid, interference-free control of R/C models. Ball-bearing gimbals, a wireless trainer system, 20
model memories, and advanced programming options are just a few of the benefits which can be used on models
of all sizes. Tactic 2.4GHz transmitters are compatible only with Tactic brand receivers and those utilizing the SLT
protocol.
For safe operation and best results, it's strongly recommended to read this manual in its entirety
before use! Also read and understand the instructions included with the model. Damage resulting
from misuse or modification will void your warranty.

    WARNING! Failure to follow these instructions for separating and re-assembling the Tx case can result in permanent damage to the transmitter, and void the warranty. Contact Hobby Services if you do not feel comfortable that you can safely and accurately perform these steps. ALWAYS disconnect and remove the batteries from the battery compartment FIRST.

    Pressing ← or → can move the cursor freely. Repeat as necessary for up to 8 characters. Pressing CLEAR will move the cursor back one space and erase the character in that space. Press ESC when finished. STICK MODE: The TTX650 is factory set to Mode 2 configuration, but can be changed to...

  • Page 8: Battery Alarm

    BATTERY ALARM: An alarm will sound and the display will show "LOW BATTERY" when the Tx battery's voltage drops to the level shown in this setting. Do NOT set this value too low, as the radio could lose power very rapidly as the battery nears full discharge and cause a loss of control of the model.

    Sub-trim: Finely adjusts a channel's center position. Be aware that extreme adjustments of sub-trim could possibly result in servo binding if the servo's output arm moves too far in the model. This is available for all channels. Travel limits: Sets the maximum travel limits for each channel. Limits can be set for each side of center. If two channels are mixed, adjusting the travel limits of each individual channel may be necessary to adjust the travel limits for the entire mix.

    of one aileron is at a lower or higher rate than the opposite aileron. Certain applications may require a reduction in the aileron differential rate when an airbrake is applied. This feature is useful for glider and/or sailplane applications which use other settings to achieve "butterfly" or "crow" functionality. Enter the DIFFERENTIAL function.

  • Page 16: Flap Mixer

    The method for making adjustments in this screen is the same as described above. In the WING TYPE menu, if the FLAP selection is set to 2AI1FL and the TAIL selection is set to Delta, the elevator-to-aileron mixture will automatically be fixed to 100%. If the 1AI1FL wing type is selected the elevator can be mixed to the flaps.

    Setting of the SERVO SET, DUAL-RATES, EXPONENTIAL, RF OUTPUT, and TIMER functions is the same as described for airplanes on pages xx - xx. However, if using a helicopter which has CCPM mixing, read the SWASH TYPE section on the previous page before adjusting the reversing and travel limits settings. THROTTLE CUT: Allows the throttle channel's output to be quickly moved to a user-defined position by flipping a switch.
