TTX404 2.4GHz 4-Channel Spread Spectrum Radio
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
The Tactic TTX404 radio system uses 2.4GHz spread spectrum technology, and automatically selects and shifts between
frequencies in the 2.46Hz band very rapidly. This prevents unwanted outside interference from interrupting control of the
model, ensuring error-free flying and eliminates the need to pull frequency pins before every flight. Tactic 2.46Hz
transmitters and receivers are not compatible with other brand 2.4GHz equipment.
use! Also read and understand the instructions included with the model. Damage resulting from misuse
® For safe operation and best results, it‘s strongly recommended to completely read this manual before
or modification will void your warranty.
FEATURES
* 2.4GHz Spread Spectrum Technology
* Transmitter can bind to multiple Tactic ZAGHZ receivers
’ Includes tiny, lightweight G-channel receiver
’ Built-in failsafe and wireless trainer function
”Analog and digital trims with sen/o reversing
’ Power status LED and built-in charge jack
TTX404 TRANSMITTER (Tx)
Four "”AA batteries are required to power the transmitter. Non-rechargeable alkaline or rechargeable nickel-cadmium
(NiCd) or nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) cells can be used. Do not mix old and new cells, or mix non-rechargeable alkaline
cells with rechargeable NiCd or NiMH cells, etc. See the SERVOS AND ACCESSORIES section at the end of this
manual for battery options available at local hobby retailers.
To install the batteries. slide open the battery door on the rear of the Tx (see figure 1). Install the batteries in the holder as
shown in the diagram (see marks molded inside the case). Make sure to note the proper polarities on each cell. Close
the battery door.
POWER SWITCH AND LED INDICATOR: The power status LED should turn on when the power switch is moved to the
“ON“ position. The transmitter should have good power for flight if the LED is on solid. If the power LED is flashing it’s an
indication that the internal batteries are weak. Never attempt to fly a model if the LED is flashing! Make sure to replace
alkaline batteries that are weak. Or, if using optional NiCd or NiMH rechargeable batteries, fully charge the batteries
before attempting a flight. If the power LED begins to flash during a flight the aircraft should be landed as soon as
possible!
IMPORTANT: Do not operate an RIC model with weak batteries as it could result in reduced range
A andlor possible loss of control of the aircraft! Replace weak alkaline batteries before attempting a
flight! Rechargeable batteries should be fully recharged prior to each flight!
AILERON (CH1, left/right): Controls the moveable surfaces at the end of both main wings. With the aileron reversing
switch in the NORMAL position, moving the aileron stick to the right will cause the airplane’s 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 function for turning the aircraft.
ELEVATOR (CH2, upldown): Controls the moveable surfaces on the horizontal section of the airplane’s tail. With the
elevator reversing switch in the NORMAL position, pulling the elevator stick back (towards you) will cause the nose of the
airplane to rise. Pushing the elevator stick fonrvards (towards the antenna) will cause the nose of the airplane to drop.
When using the ailerons to bank the airplane’s wings, pulling the elevator stick back will help to turn the aircraft more
quickly.
THOTTLE (CH3, upldown): Controls the speed (RPM) at which the engine or electric motor operates. With the throttle
reversing switch in the NORMAL position, pulling the throttle stick back (towards you) will cause the engine's speed to be
at minimum, Pushing the throttle stick forward (towards the antenna) will cause the engine's speed to be at maximum.
RUDDER (CH4, Ieftlright): Controls the direction of the tail of the airplane. With the rudder reversing switch in the
NORMAL position, moving the rudder stick to the right will cause the airplane’s tail to move right. Moving the rudder stick
to the left will cause the airplane’s tail to move left.
TRIMS: Each channel also includes a "trim" lever, located adjacent to the respective stick, Trims for the aileron. elevator.
and rudder channels are used to finely adjust the moveable surfaces in the aircraft. Ideally, when the sticks are released
during a flight and allowed to spring back to center position, the aircraft should not veer in any direction on its own. If the
aircraft does veer. slightly move the trim lever for the respective control surface until the aircraft no longer veers in any
unwanted direction.
Moving the throttle trim lever slightly up or down will finely adjust the engine or motor at low speeds, For safety reasons.
it's a good idea to use throttle trim when controlling engine/motor speed when the aircraft is on the ground, For aircraft
with glow engines, the precise position of the trim lever is helpful when determining the engine’s preferred idle point.
The trims for the aileron, elevator( and rudder channels are digital. The black levers for these trims can be pushed either
side of the center position. Each push of the button will cause the output of the respective servo to finely rotate one
position.
REVERSING SWITCHES: Four reversing switches are built into the Tx, one for each channel. Each switch can reverse
the rotational direction of the servo that is connected to the respective channel. This is often a much easier method for
changing the direction ofa servo’s movement as opposed to altering the mechanical connections between the model's
surface and the servo.
CHARGE JACK
The TTX404 includes a built-in charge jack located on the right side for convenient recharging of NiCd or NiMH batteries.
Do NOT attempt to recharge alkaline batteriesl This charge jack is compatible with charge leads designed for Futaba®
brand transmitters (incompatible with charge leads for Hitec, Airtronics, JR or Spektrum radios).
To use the charge jack with optional NiCd or NiMH batteries, make sure the transmitters power switch is in the OFF
position. Connect a compatible charge lead to the jack and follow the instructions included with the charger for charging
of NiCd or NiMH batteries rated at 4.8V, It’s not recommended to charge batteries at greater than 1 amp through this
charge jack, It’s strongly recommended to re—insert the cap back into the jack when not in use,
TRAINER FUNCTION
The TTX404 transmitter includes a built-in wireless trainer function — no trainer cable required! This trainer system con-
nects the teacher’s radio to the student’s radio by wireless connection, One Tactic TTX404 transmitter’s trainer function is
compatible with other Tactic brand transmitters which also include the wireless trainer function, But Tactic’s wireless
trainer function is not compatible with trainer systems in any other brand radios,
To use the trainer function:
1, The teacher and the student must have a Tactic radio that includes the wireless trainer function,
2, The teachers transmitter must be held within 1 meter of the student’s transmitter to bind them together, (The
teachers Tx can be binded together with only one student transmitter at a time)
3, Pull the trainer switch on the teacher's transmitter. and then turn on the teacher’s transmitter.
4, The teachers transmitter should blink 3 times to indicated it has become binded to the student's transmitter.
Once this occurs release the teacher’s trainer switch.
TR624 RECEIVER OPERATION AND INSTALLATION
RECEIVER (Rx): Mount the TR624 receiver as specified in your model’s instructions. It’s important to keep the Rx as far
away from the engine/moton servos, and E30 and other electronic items as possible. To prevent the receiver from
becoming damaged, it might be acceptable to attach it inside certain models using Velcro®. In certain cases. wrapping
the receiver with foam rubber can help to prevent damage from occurring due to vibration, but foam rubber can prevent
adequate airflow from passing over the receiver in warm environments which might not be recommended. Additional
Tactic receivers can be purchased from your local retailer (part number TACL0624) that will also work with the transmitter
included with this system.
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.
All servos should be mounted as shown in the model's instructions. Use rubbergrommets, screws and brass eyelets
supplied when mounting your servos (see figure 5). Do NOT over-tighten the mounting screws. The servos should be
able to move slightly to compensate for engine vibration. Use a servo horn long enough to accommodate the entire range
of movement for that particular control. When mounting the servos, make sure the pushrods are not too loose or bind in
anyway. Pushrods should be capable of operating the full range of the servo. This can be tested by moving the Tx sticks
to maximum positions several times while observing the movement of the control services. If a sen/o is binding or sticks
in flight, it should be re-adjusted so not to drain excessive current from the battery and thus shorten flight time.
Connect the servos to the receiver as shown in Figure 4. Route the wires so they do not interfere with any moving parts.
Slide the transmitters trim levers to finely adjust the servo’s center point as needed to match the installation, See the
SERVOS AND ACCESSORIES section at the end of this manual for a full list of optional servos.
ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL (ESC): If the model is electric powered. an optional electronic speed control will be
necessary to control speed of the electric motor. Connect the receiver plug on the ESC to the slot marked CH3 (throttle)
on the receiver, Center the transmitters throttle trim and follow the ESC instructions for proper operation and connection
of the power battery.
GLOW POWERED AIRCRAFT: 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.
ONIOFF POWER SWITCHES AND BATTERIES: Refer to the model's instructions for the preferred way to mount the
on/off power switch and battery. It’s often necessary to locate the battery in a specific position to optimize the model's
center of gravity. Always locate a model’s on/off switch in a location well away from the model’s propeller. For glow
models, locate the switch away from the engine’s exhaust.
To mount an on/off power switch inside an airplane. cut a hole in the side of the fuselage large enough to allow the
switch’s lever to move freely from end-to—end. Ifthe switch harness includes mounting screws. be sure not to cut the hole
so long that would prevent the mounting screws from being installed firmly.
A switch harness with charge lead is included with the TTX404 Radio System for glow applications. This switch harness
includes three leads. As shown in figure 77, one lead connects to the receiver’s “BAT" socket. Another lead connects to
the battery. The final lead connects to the battery charger for recharging the battery through the switch harness without
having to remove the battery from the model.
IMPORTANT! Always make sure that power is applied to the transmitter FIRST, and that the throttle
A stick is at m mum position. Once this is confirmed, then turn on the power switch for the receiver.
Failure to do so could result in the model becoming uncontrollable and cause a safety hazard.
BIND THE RECEIVER TO THE TRANSMITTER
For proper operation of the TTX404 transmitter and receiver system, it is necessary to “bind" them together electronically.
This ensures sole communication between the two, and prevents other transmitters from being able to control the
receiver. To bind the Tx and Rx:
1. Turn on the transmitter,
2. Apply power to the receiver.
3. If the receiver’s LED flashes once and then stays on. the Rx is already bound to the Tx and you can skip to the next
section. Othenrvise, insert a small diameter screwdriver through the hole marked “BIND" and press the pushbutton until
the LED glows red and then turns off after about one second.
4. Release the “BIND" button.
5. If the binding is successful. the Rx LED will flash once and then remain ON.
6. Test for proper Tx / Rx functionality in the next section. If the radio doesn't appear to have become properly binded,
repeat steps 1-6 above.
SYSTEM CHECK AND OPERATION
IMPORTANT! During all pre-flight preparations with the aircraft on the ground, make sure the throttle stick
remains at the minimum position and do not stand the transmitter upright on the ground, Make sure to careful-
A Iy place the Tx on its back on the ground! This will prevent the transmitter from falling over and possibly dis-
lodging the throttle stick from the low position and causing 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 dis-
lodged during normal flight, It’s best to check the system with the propeller removed from the aircraft,
1. Once all connections are made, it’s time to check the general operation of the radio and all other components before
attempting a flight.
2. Move the transmitters throttle stick to the minimum position.
3. Turn on the transmitter, and then the receiver.
4. Make sure all servos are rotating in the proper direction. Ifany servo is turning in the wrong direction, change the
position of the reversing switch for that particular channel (refer to the model’s instructions if necessary).
5, With both sticks at neutral position, move the Tx trim levers for the aileron, elevator, and rudder channels so each re-
spective control surface is perfectly aligned with the main surface. For example: When the aileron trim lever is in the cen-
ter position, it’s best that the trailing edge of the aileron is aligned with the trailing edge of the wing itself (not above or be-
low the wing’s trailing edge).
6, It’s important to determine that when the transmitters throttle stick is at maximum position the same command will be
delivered to the model. and vise-versa for minimum throttle, Depending on whether the model is electric powered or uses
a glow engine:
a. Electric aircraft: confirm that when the throttle stick is at maximum position the electronic speed control gives the
appropriate indications (LED and/or audible indicators) for full tonrvard flight. And, when the throttle stick is at mini-
mum position the electronic speed control gives the appropriate indications for “off" or no motor rotation,
b. Glow engines: confirm that when the throttle stick is at maximum position the mechanical linkage to the engine al-
lows the engine to be at full throttle. And, when the throttle stick is at minimum position and the throttle trim lever is
moved to minimum position, the engine stops completely.
7. Perform a “range check”. The “range" is the safe operating distance from the Tx to the Rx, and should be as far as you
can clearly see the model. With the assistance of another person, place the aircraft on the ground and walk away from
the model. Operate the transmitters controls, and ensure the movement ofall surfaces is according to the movement of
the transmitter.
B. Anytime power is to be removed from the radio system, it’s important to shut down power in the aircraft first. Other-
wise, the aircraft could become out of control and cause a safety hazard!
a, For a glow engine, move the throttle stick and throttle trim lever to minimum position to stop the engine. Once the
engine has stopped, turn off power to the receiver. Only aftenivards should power to the transmitter be shut off.
b. For an electric flight model. reduce the throttle stick to minimum and turn off the ESC’s power switch. Then turn off
the power switch for the receiver. Only afterwards should power to the transmitter be shut off.
FLYING THE AIRCRAFT
1. Once all setup procedures have been confirmed, reattach the propeller to the model.
A IMPORTANT: Be very careful to avoid moving propellers”
2. Start the engine, or arm the electronic speed control.
3. During the first flight, it might be necessary to re-trim the aileron, elevator, and rudder channels to allow the airplane to
sustain smooth, even flight. lf further adjustments are required on the ground, make sure to turn off the engine or
ESC/motor before making such adjustments.
4. When the flight is completed. remove power from the system as described before, Shut down power to the electronic
speed control or glow engine first. then the receiver, and finally the transmitter.
FAILSAFE FUNCTION
This radio system includes a “failsafe" function, which will automatically center (bring to neutral) all servos if the receiver
loses signal communications from the transmitter. When the receiver regains signal it will automatically resume normal
function. It’s a good idea to test this function on the ground. With the engine or electric motor turned off, power the
transmitter and receiver and make sure all controls work properly. Turn off power to the transmitter and observe if the
airplanes controls move to the pre-set neutral point. Re-apply power to the transmitter and confirm that total control of all
aircraft surfaces is regained. If it does not appear the failsafe system is functioning properly, see the Troubleshooting
Guide at the end of this manual.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
‘ NEVER allow water or moisture to make contact with the electronic components inside the transmitter, re-
A ceiver. servos, switch harness, etc! This could lead to failure or improper functionality of components and
poor control of aircraft which could pose a safety hazard.
" NEVER operate R/C model aircraft near power lines, radio or cell phone towers. roads or automobiles. build-
ings, or pedestrians. Be veny careful in locations where many RIC aircraft are being used simultaneously.
" NEVER operate R/C equipment if you are physically impaired as it could pose a safety hazard to yourself or others in
the are.
* NEVER allow small children to operate/control model R/C equipment without the supervision ofan adult.
" NEVER allow the transmitters throttle stick to accidently be moved away from the “off" or minimum position while the
model’s engine/motor is moving.
" ALWAYS range check the radio system before use.
* ALWAYS make sure that all transmitter stick movements operate all servos properly in the model. Check the proper
operation of control surfaces before- and after starting the engine/motor.
* ALWAYS make sure the transmitter antenna is unfolded entirely so that it's pointing upright to ensure max. range and
control of the aircraft.
* Do not store your radio equipment in extremely hot or cold locations, in direct sunlight, in locations with high humidity.
Store R/C equipment in cool and dry locations.
* Do not allow chemicals to come in contact with any parts of the radio system. Substances such as glow fuel, gasoline.
CA glue, etc. could permanently damage plastic parts of the radio system.
* If NiCd batteries were installed in the transmitter. remove the batteries before placing the radio in long-term storage.
TROUBLESHOOTING
RANGE IS SHORT: lnterference— check Rx installation and servo connections. Low Tx or Rx battery — replace the
batteries or recharge if applicable. Transmitter antenna not unfolded properly. Rx may need to be located to a different
position in the model for better reception. Crash damage— send the radio to Hobby Services for repair.
RUN TIME IS SHORT: Low Tx or Rx batteries — replace or recharge the batteries. Obstructed servo linkages causing
excess battery drain — free the linkages / pushrods.
Tx POWER SWITCH ON BUT SERVOS DO NOT FUNCTION: Tx or Rx batteries are low— replace or recharge the
batteries. Rx switch is in the off position — turn on the ESC or switch harness. Switch harness or ESC is connected
incorrectly — check all connections and the ESC instruction manual. Rx is not binded to the Tx properly— perform binding
process again.
INTERFERENCE OR SERVOS GLITCHING: Out of range— operate the model more closely to the transmitter. Outside
radio interference from pagers. strong industrial or other commercial transmitters in the area - check your local RIC club
regarding local operation. Rx located too closely to engine, motor, or servos or other moving mechanical parts which
might be creating unwanted electrical noise — relocate Rx inside the mode.
CONTROL SURFACE MOVES IN THE WRONG DIRECTION: Reverse the position of the reversing switch for the
appropriate channel.
ONLY ONE SERVO GLITCHES: Servo is bad — replace the servo or send to Hobby Services for repair.
FAILSAFE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY: Receiver is not properly binded to the transmitter— bind the Rx to the Tx and
re-try. Contact Hobby Services for further details.
