TTX850 Radio Mode Changes

The TTX850 can be set to any stick mode from 1, 2, 3, or 4. These instructions
describe how to change the stick mode on the Tactic brand TTX850 transmitter
between mode 2 and mode 1. Changing modes requires mechanical adjustments
inside the transmitter and electronic confi guration changes. Failure to follow
these instructions properly can result in permanent damage to the Tx and void
the warranty. Contact Hobby Services if you do not feel comfortable making
such adjustments without damaging the radio.
For safe operation and best results, it's strongly recommended
to read these instructions completely before use.
Most radios for use in the United States are produced with stick mode 2
confi guration. The diagram here shows the difference between modes 2 and 1.
The locations of the aileron and rudder controls are the same for radios
on mode 2 and mode 1. However, the locations of the throttle and elevator
controls will alternate when changing between mode 2 and mode 1. Throttle
is on the left stick for mode 2, but on the right for mode 1.
