2.4GHz 6-Channel Spread Spectrum Radio
The Tactic TTX600 airplane radio system uses an advanced 2.4GHz spread
spectrum technology to prevent unwanted outside interference from interrupting
control of the model, ensuring error-free fl ying and eliminating the need to pull
frequency pins before every fl ight. Tactic 2.4GHz transmitters and receivers are not
compatible with other brands of 2.4GHz equipment.
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 modifi cation will void your warranty.

    TTX600 TRANSMITTER ( Tx ) The TTX600 airplane transmitter is available in either a “Mode 2” confi guration with throttle on the left and elevator on the right, or “Mode 1” confi guration with throttle on the right and elevator on the left. Mode 2 radios are most commonly used in the U.S., whereas Mode 1 radios are popular in other countries.
  • Page 3 Tx should have adequate power for fl ight when the LED is on constantly. Anytime the LED begins to fl ash, accompanied by the sounding of an audible tone, the Tx battery voltage has dropped too low and operation of the model should NOT be attempted! WARNING! Never operate an R/C model with weak Tx batteries! Reduced operational range and/or possible loss of control of the...

    left. When using the rudder in conjunction with the ailerons, the airplane’s nose can point into a turn (instead of pointing up and “skidding” through the turn), allowing the airplane to perform tighter, more coordinated turns. RETRACTABLE LANDING GEAR (CH5) Channel 5 offers non-proportional control of a servo, and is typically used to control retractable landing gear.
  • Page 5 WARNING!! Do NOT attempt to recharge alkaline batteries! The charge jack should ONLY be used if rechargeable cells are used in the transmitter. The TTX600 includes a built-in charge jack for convenient recharging of NiCd or ® NiMH batteries, and is compatible with charge leads designed for Futaba brand ®...
  • Page 6: Trainer Function

    fi re!! TRAINER FUNCTION The TTX600 Tx includes a built-in wireless trainer function – no trainer cable required! This trainer system connects a teacher’s Tactic Tx to a student’s Tactic Tx by wireless connection.
  • Page 7 ELEVON & V-TAIL MIXING FUNCTIONS The TTX600 includes elevon and V-tail mixing functions, which can be turned on or off. “Elevon” control consists of a mixture between the elevator and aileron channels, and is useful for certain types of aircraft (such as a fl ying wing). “V-tail” control consists of a mixture between the elevator and rudder channels and is useful for aircraft which have a V-tail.

    4. To cancel V-tail mixing and activate elevon mixing, turn off the transmitter and repeat the above procedure. When the fl ashing LED is accompanied by three audible tones the elevon mixing will be active. Aileron Function Elevon Mixing Elevator Function 5.
  • Page 9 Additional Tactic TR624 receivers can be purchased from your local retailer (part number TACL0624) to work with this TTX600 transmitter. SERVOS Center the trims on the Tx. Mount the servos inside the model, and connect the linkages to the servo using an appropriate length servo arm.

    1. Turn on the Tx. 2. Apply power to the Rx. 3. If the Rx LED fl ashes once and then stays on, the Rx is already bound to the Tx and you can skip to the next section. Otherwise, insert a small diameter screwdriver through the hole marked “BIND”...
  • Page 12: System Check And Operation

    SYSTEM CHECK AND OPERATION WARNING! During all pre-fl ight preparations with the aircraft on the ground, make sure the throttle stick remains at the minimum position and do not stand the Tx upright on the ground. Carefully lay the Tx on its back on the ground to prevent it from falling over and possibly dislodging the throttle stick from the low position which would create a safety hazard.
  • Page 13: Flying The Aircraft

    8. Anytime power is to be removed from the radio system, it’s important to shut down power in the aircraft fi rst. Otherwise, the aircraft could become out of control and cause a safety hazard! Move the throttle stick and throttle trim lever to minimum position to stop the glow engine or shut down the ESC.
