TTX404 TRANSMITTER ( Tx ) The TTX404 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.

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. TRIMS A “trim” lever is included for each of the main controls, located adjacent to the respective stick.

WARNING!! Do NOT attempt to recharge alkaline batteries! The charge jack should ONLY be used if rechargeable cells are used in the transmitter. The TTX404 includes a built-in charge jack for convenient recharging of NiCd or ® NiMH batteries, and is compatible with charge leads designed for Futaba brand ®...
ELEVON & V-TAIL MIXING FUNCTIONS The TTX404 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.

1. With the Tx power switch off, move the right stick to the bottom-right corner, and the left stick to the bottom-left corner. 2. While holding the sticks in these positions, turn the Tx power switch ON. 3. The LED should fl ash, and if accompanied by two audible tones the V-tail mixing function will now be turned ON.
A switch harness and 4-cell battery holder is included with the TTX404 radio system. Refer to the model’s instructions for the optimum location to mount the battery, Rx, and...
switch harness for optimum weight distribution in the model. Locate the switch well away from the propeller and the exhausts from a glow engine. Cut a hole in the side of the fuselage large enough to allow the switch’s lever to move freely and fully from end- to-end.

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. Make sure all devices are properly mounted inside the model, and all wiring connections are solid to prevent them from easily becoming dislodged during normal fl...
2. Move the throttle stick to the desired throttle position for when the Rx goes to failsafe. 3. Press the “BIND” button on the Tactic receiver. 4. When the Rx binds successfully, the Rx will remember the throttle channel’s failsafe position.
SAFETY GUIDE The Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) has established an Offi cial Safety Code. Model fl ying MUST be in accordance with this Code in order for AMA Liability Protection to apply. All questions relating to the AMA Safety Code, liability insurance program, and other offi...
