TTX403 TRANSMITTER (Tx)
The TTX403 4-Channel Micro airplane transmitter can be confi gured to operate
as a 3-channel or 4-channel Tx. When confi gured for 4-channel operation the
controls function like a normal Mode-2 transmitter with aileron + elevator on the
right stick, and throttle + rudder on the left stick.
Confi guring the Tx for 3-channel operation can help beginners concentrate on
throttle control with one hand and full airplane directional control with the other hand.
Here, the right stick operates elevator + rudder while the left stick will control the
throttle. The aileron function will still be active, and now be on the left stick, but aileron
control is often not needed for 3ch aircraft.
To change the TTX403 transmitter between 3ch and 4ch confi gurations:
1. Turn off the Tx power switch.
2. Move the right stick to the top-
right corner, and the left stick to
the top-left corner, and hold in
these positions.
3. Move the Tx power switch to the
on position. The power LED will
fl ash, accompanied by three
short tones from the Tx which
indicates the Tx confi guration
has been changed.
NOTE: Each time the Tx power switch is turned on you will hear either one
short tone if the Tx is in the 3ch configuration, or two short tones if the Tx is
in the 4ch configuration.
Input Power
Five "AA" batteries are required to power the Tx (not included with individual radio
systems). Non-rechargeable 1.5V alkaline, or 1.2V rechargeable nickel-cadmium
(NiCd) or nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) cells can be used. Do not mix cell types, old
and new cells, etc. See the SERVOS AND ACCESSORIES section on page 12 for
optional products available at local hobby retailers.
