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.

2.4GHz 6-Channel Spread Spectrum Radio INSTRUCTION MANUAL 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...

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 aircraft could result.

RETRACTABLE LANDING GEAR (CH5) Channel 5 offers non-proportional control of a servo, and is typically used to control retractable landing gear. Servo movement is limited to rotating the servo’s output arm to the end of clockwise movement, and the end of counter-clockwise movement. The switch for channel 5 is located on the top-left of the transmitter.

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 transmitters ®...
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.
Page 10: Electronic Speed Control (Esc)
A switch harness and 4-cell battery holder are included with the TTX600 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.

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.

10. I will not operate my model aircraft while using any drug which could adversely affect my ability to safely control my model aircraft. 11. Children under six (6) years old are only allowed on a flight line or in a flight area as a pilot or while under flight instruction.
Page 16: Free Flight
8. Under no circumstances may a pilot or other person touch a model aircraft in ﬂ ight while it is still under power, except to divert it from striking an individual. 9. Radio-controlled night ﬂ ying is limited to low-performance model aircraft (less than 100 mph).
