2.4GHz 4-Channel Spread Spectrum Radio
The Tactic TTX404 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.

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. - 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. TRIMS A “trim” lever is included for each of the main controls, located adjacent to the respective stick. - 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 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. - Page 7 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.
