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
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.
3
Slide the battery door down,
and insert the cells as shown.
Make sure to note proper
polarity for each cell. Close the
battery door.
Power LED and Low Battery Alarm
The red power LED should light when the power switch is moved upwards to the
on position. The Tx should have adequate power for fl ight when the LED is on
constantly. Anytime the LED begins to fl ash, accompanied by 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. Replace weak alkaline batteries, or recharge
NiCd or NiMH batteries before attempting a fl ight!
If during a fl ight audible tones sound and the Tx LED starts to fl ash the Tx batteries
have become weak and the aircraft should be landed as soon as possible!
Aileron (Ch 1)
Controls the moveable surfaces at the trailing edge of the main wings to rotate the
airplane about the “roll” axis (an imaginary line which extends from the airplane’s
nose to the tail). Since every airplane is different, the direction of movement for
the aileron channel may need to be reversed so that moving the aileron stick to
the right will cause the airplane’s right aileron to defl ect up, thus causing the right
wing to drop and the airplane will bank to the right. Moving the aileron stick to the
left will cause the airplane’s left wing to drop and the airplane will bank to the left.
This is one important method for turning the aircraft. When the Tx is set to the 3ch
confi guration the aileron channel will not be used.
Elevator (Ch 2)
Controls the moveable horizontal surfaces on the airplane’s tail to rotate the airplane
about the “pitch” axis (an imaginary line extending through the center of both main
wings, from one wing tip to the other wing tip). The direction of movement for the
elevator channel may need to be reversed so that pulling the elevator stick back
(towards you) will cause the elevator to defl ect up, thus causing the nose of the
4
airplane to rise. Pushing the elevator stick forwards (away from you) will cause the
nose of the airplane to drop.
Throttle (Ch 3)
Controls the speed (R.P.M.) at which the motor operates. Pulling the throttle stick
back will cause the motor’s speed to decrease. Pushing the throttle stick forward
will cause the motor’s speed to increase.
Rudder (Ch 4)
Controls the side-to-side movement of the airplane’s tail and will rotate the airplane
about the “yaw axis” (an imaginary line from the top of the airplane’s fuselage to the
bottom of the fuselage, located near the center-point of the fuselage). The direction
of movement for the rudder channel may need to be reversed so that moving the
rudder stick to the right causes the rudder to defl ect to the right, thus causing the
nose of the airplane to point to the right. Moving the rudder stick to the left will cause
the nose of the airplane to turn left. When the Tx is set to the 3ch confi guration the
rudder will be controlled by the right stick. Otherwise, rudder is controlled with the
left stick.
Trims
All trims are digital in function. Two trim buttons are included for each of the main
controls, located adjacent to the respective stick. One trim button adjusts the
servo’s direction in one direction, and the other button to the opposite direction.
Briefl y pressing any trim button will adjust the center position of the respective
servo output in the appropriate direction and will be accompanied by an audible
tone. Pressing and holding any trim button will cause the servo output to move
repeatedly. A unique tone will sound when the servo reaches either end of the trim
limit, and at the channel’s center point.
During a fl ight, when the main sticks are released and spring back to center position
the aircraft should ideally not veer in any direction. If the aircraft does veer in a
particular direction, press the respective trim button until the aircraft maintains a
straight attitude on its own.
Reversing Channel Direction
The direction of movement for any of the four channels can be reversed electronically.
To change the direction of movement for any channel:
1. Switch off the Tx power switch.
2. Press and hold either trim button for the channel to be reversed.
3. Switch the Tx power switch on. The LED should fl ash to indicate the
movement for that channel has been reversed.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 to reverse the direction of any other channel as needed.
5. Switch the Tx power switch off.
5
Elevon & V-Tail Mixing Functions
The TTX403 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. The default setting for all mixing will be “off”. To change
the mix setting:
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 transmitter will emit three rapid
tones to confirm the programming
has been changed. The LED will
then flash once simultaneously with
one (3ch config) or two tones (4ch
config) during powerup. This single flash indicates that the transmitter is in
V-Tail mixing and the LED will remain solid afterwards.

4. To cancel V-tail mixing and activate elevon mixing, turn off the transmitter and
repeat the above procedure. When the LED fl ashes twice during powerup the
elevon mix is enabled and the LED will remain solid afterwards.

5. To cancel all mixes, repeat this procedure again. When the LED remains solid, all
mixes will be off.
6
Each time the mix setting is changed, be sure to check that all controls move in
the proper direction for the model. It may be necessary to change the setting of
the aileron, elevator, or rudder reversing on page 4 to achieve the proper throw
directions for the model. If the elevator and aileron functions or the rudder and
elevator functions appear reversed at the control surfaces, it may be necessary to
swap the channel 1 and 2 servo plug positions for the elevon mix or the channel 2
and 4 servo plug positions for the V-tail mix.
Electronic Speed Control (ESC)
If the model is electric powered, an optional ESC will be necessary to control speed
of the electric motor and to divert power to the receiver and servos. Connect the
receiver plug on the ESC to the slot marked CH3 (throttle) on the receiver. Center
the transmitter’s throttle trim and follow the ESC instructions for proper operation
and connection of the power battery.
Glow Engines
If the model is powered by a glow engine, a switch harness and 4-cell battery
(4.8V) will be necessary to power the receiver and servos. See the SERVOS AND
ACCESSORIES section for suggested options.
Built-In 1S LiPo Charger
A 1S LiPo charger is built into the TTX403 transmitter itself. This charger is designed
specifi cally for charging a micro 1S 3.7V LiPo cell which has a micro connector.
Charge current is rated at 250mAh, with a maximum charge voltage of 4.20V.
Charging will begin automatically when the battery is connected, and automatically
stop when full charge is detected.
1. Make sure the Tx power
switch is in the off position.
2.
Looking at the rear of the Tx,
slide open the charger door
by moving it to the right.
3. Connect the 1S LiPo battery
to the socket inside the
battery door. When a proper
connection has been made
and the battery is being
charged, the green “CHARGE”
LED will illuminate.
4. When charge is complete
the green CHARGE LED will
turn off.
7
IMPORTANT WARNINGS REGARDING LIPO BATTERY USE
NEVER ATTEMPT TO CARE FOR LITHIUM-POLYMER (LiPo) CELLS
IN THE SAME WAY AS OTHER BATTERY TYPES! LiPo cells are much
more sensitive and volatile than NiCd or NiMH batteries. Misuse and
overcharge can quickly result in LiPo cells getting hot and/or swelling,
which could lead to VIOLENT EXPLOSION AND/OR FIRE and serious personal
injury and property damage.
NEVER attempt to recharge other battery types except 1S LiPo cells with this
built-in charger.
NEVER continue to charge or use LiPo cells if they start to swell, and become
overly warm to the touch. Failure to follow this guideline could cause the battery
to become hot and explode or ignite!!
ALWAYS disconnect the battery from the charger immediately if the battery
becomes hot! Allow the battery to cool before use.
NEVER allow water, moisture or foreign objects into the Tx/charger.
NEVER leave the room where a battery is being charged.
NEVER place the Tx/charger or battery on a fl ammable surface or near a
ammable object during the charge process. Keep away from carpets, cluttered
workbenches, etc.
ALWAYS have a “class D” re extinguisher available when handling LiPo batteries.
If a LiPo cell leaks fl uid, do not get fl uid on the skin, in the eyes or mouth, etc. If
you make contact with fl uid from a LiPo battery, rinse the affected area well with
water and seek immediate medical care.
LINK THE RECEIVER TO THE TRANSMITTER
This link ensures sole communication between the two, and prevents other
transmitters from controlling the model. If it’s necessary to re-link the board to the
transmitter:
1. Switch on the Tx.
2. Connect the battery to the Rx. See SERVOS AND ACCESSORIES on page
12 for recommendations.
3. The Rx LED on the Rx will turn on, indicating the Rx is bound to the Tx.
4. Test for proper Tx / Rx functionality in the next section. If the system did not
become properly linked, repeat steps 1-3 above.
8
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. Make
sure all devices are properly mounted inside the model, and all wiring connections
are secure to prevent them from easily becoming dislodged during fl ight. For safety
it’s best to check the system with the propeller removed from the aircraft.
1. Once all connections are made, check the general operation of the radio
and all other components before attempting a fl ight.
2. Move the Tx throttle stick to the minimum (idle) position.
3. Turn on the Tx, and then the Rx.
4. Make sure all controls are operating in the proper direction. If any servo is
turning in the wrong direction, change the reversing for that particular channel.
5. With both sticks at center position, move the trims for the aileron, elevator,
and rudder channels so each respective control surface is perfectly aligned
with the main surface. For example: When the aileron trim is at center it’s
best that the trailing edge of the aileron is aligned with the trailing edge of
the wing itself (not above or below the wing’s trailing edge).
6. Make sure that movements of the throttle stick result in an equal adjustment
of the motor R.P.M. in the model.
7. Perform a “range check”. The “range” is the safe operating distance
from the Tx to the Rx, and should be 150 meters. With the assistance of
another person, place the aircraft on the ground and walk 100 feet (30m)
away from the model. With the Tx pointed directly at the model, operate
the transmitter’s controls, and ensure the movement of all surfaces are
according to the movement of the transmitter.
8. Anytime power is to be removed from the radio system, it’s important to shut
down power in the aircraft rst. Otherwise, the aircraft could become out
of control and cause a safety hazard! Move the throttle stick to minimum
position to shut down the ESC. Once the propeller has stopped rotating,
shut off the ON/OFF power switch in the model, and disconnect the power
battery from the ESC in electric airplanes. Then turn off the power switch in
the Tx.
9
FLYING THE AIRCRAFT
1. Once all setup procedures have been confi rmed, and power has been
removed from the model and transmitter, re-attach the propeller to the model.
IMPORTANT: Be careful to stay clear from moving propellers!!
2. Make sure the airplane’s power batteries are fully charged.
3. Move the Tx throttle stick to minimum position, then switch on the Tx power
switch. Turn on the power switch in the model.
4. During the fi rst fl ight, it might be necessary to re-trim the aileron, elevator,
and rudder channels to allow the airplane to sustain level hands-off fl ight. If
further adjustments are required on the ground, beware that the on-board
brushed ESC will still be active (if used).
5. When the fl ight is completed, remove power from the system as described
before. Shut down power to the Rx Control Board fi rst, then the transmitter.
