2TTX600 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. Be sure the radio purchased is of the correct mode.Four “AA” batteries are required to power the Tx (not included). 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, or old and new cells, etc. See the SERVOS AND ACCESSORIES section on page 17 for optional batteries available at local hobby retailers.To install the batteries, slide the battery door down. Insert the cells as shown in the diagram, making sure to note proper polarity for each cell. Close the battery door.POWER SWITCH, LED, and LOW BATTERY ALARMThe red power LED should light when the power switch is moved upwards to the “ON” position. The

3Tx 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. Replace weak alkaline batteries, or re-charge NiCd or NiMH batteries, before attempting a ﬂ ight!If during a ﬂ ight the Tx LED starts to ﬂ ash, accompanied by the sounding of audible tones, it’s a warning that the Tx batteries have become weak and the aircraft should be landed as soon as possible! AILERON (CH1)Controls the moveable surfaces at the end of both 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 aileron reversing switch must be set 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 to bank right. Moving the aileron stick to the left will cause the airplane’s left wing to drop and the airplane to bank left. This is one important method for turning the aircraft.ELEVATOR (CH2)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). Position the elevator reversing switch so that pulling the elevator stick back (towards you) will cause the elevators to deﬂ ect up, thus causing the nose of the airplane to rise. Pushing the elevator stick forwards (away from you) 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 the aircraft maintain altitude and turn the aircraft more quickly.THROTTLE (CH3)Controls the speed (R.P.M.) at which the engine or electric motor operates. With the throttle reversing switch in the NOR position, pulling the throttle stick back will cause the engine’s speed to decrease. Pushing the throttle stick forward will cause the engine’s speed to increase.RUDDER (CH4)Controls the sideways 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). Position the rudder reversing switch 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

4left. 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.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.FLAPS (CH6)Channel 6 offers proportional control of a servo anywhere throughout the rotational range of the servo’s output arm. This control is normally used to adjust the position of an airplane’s ﬂ aps. The dial for channel 6 is located above the left stick. TRIMSA “trim” lever is included for each of the main controls, located adjacent to the respective stick. The aileron, elevator, and rudder trim levers are digital in function, and always rest at center position. Brieﬂ y deﬂ ecting the lever to either direction away from center will cause the respective servo output to ﬁ nely rotate to one direction, and will be accompanied by an audible tone. Pressing and holding the trim lever will cause the servo output to move repeatedly. 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, click the respective trim lever until the aircraft maintains a straight attitude on its own. The throttle trim lever is analog in function, and can move mechanically up or down and rest at any point in the range. Moving the throttle trim lever slightly up or down will ﬁ nely adjust the engine or motor at low speeds. For safety reasons, it’s a good idea to use throttle trim when controlling the engine/motor at very low speed while 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 throttle trim lever is not active when the main throttle stick is above the center point.REVERSING SWITCHESFour reversing switches are built into the Tx, one for each main 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 of a servo’s movement as opposed to altering the mechanical connections between the model’s surface and the servo. Refer to the model’s instructions for speciﬁ c details.DUAL RATE SWITCHThe travel distance of the servos for the aileron, elevator, and rudder channels can be changed at anytime by using the switch marked AIL ELE RUD D/R, located above the right stick. This switch will change the travel distance of all three channels

76. The LED on the teacher’s Tx will ﬂ ash 3 times to indicate it has become bound with the student’s Tx.7. The teacher can then release his trainer switch.8. Once both transmitters are bound together, power can be applied to the receiver to prepare for ﬂ ight.When the training session has ended, with the model on the ground and all power removed from the model, place both transmitters within 1 meter of each other and simply turn the power switch for both transmitters to the OFF position. This will terminate the wireless link between both transmitters. If additional training will be performed again, return to step 1 above to re-establish the wireless link between the teacher and student’s transmitters.ELEVON & V-TAIL MIXING FUNCTIONSThe 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. 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 LED should ﬂ ash, and if accompanied by two audible tones the V-tail mixing function will now be turned ON. If you do not wish to again change this setting, proceed to the next section.V-Tail MixingLeft Rudderch2 ch4 ch2 ch4 ch2 ch4Right Rudder Up Elevator

84. 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.Elevon MixingElevator FunctionAileronFunction5. To cancel all mixes, repeat this procedure again. When the ﬂ ashing LED is accompanied by a single audible tone, all mixes will be off.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 switch 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.TR624 RECEIVER & FLIGHT EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION (if applicable)RECEIVER (Rx)Mount the receiver as speciﬁ ed in the model’s instructions. It’s important to keep the Rx as far away from the engine/motor, servos, and ESC and other electronic items as possible. To prevent the Rx from becoming damaged, it might be acceptable to mount it inside certain models using Velcro®. In certain cases, wrapping the Rx with foam rubber can help to prevent damage from occurring due to vibration, but foam rubber can prevent adequate airﬂ ow from passing over the receiver in warm

9environments which might not be recommended. Additional Tactic TR624 receivers can be purchased from your local retailer (part number TACL0624) to work with this TTX600 transmitter.SERVOSCenter 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 rubber grommets, screws and brass eyelets supplied (where applicable) when mounting your servos (see above). Do NOT over-tighten the mounting screws, as 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 any way. 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 servo is binding or sticks in ﬂ ight, it should be re-adjusted so as not to drain excessive current from the battery and thus shorten ﬂ ight time.RudderServo(Ch4)FlapServo(Ch6)RetractServo(Ch5)ReceiverThrottleServo orESC (Ch3)ElevatorServo(Ch2)AileronServo(Ch1)Switch HarnessTo Rx BatteryTo Charger6-CHANNEL RECEIVERConnect the servos to the Rx as shown.

See the SERVOS AND ACCESSORIES section on page 17 for a full list of optional servos.Rubber GrommetBrass EyeletServoServoServoScrewServo Tray

10ELECTRONIC 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 ENGINESIf 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.ON/OFF SWITCH HARNESS AND BATTERIESMany ESCs include a built-in ON/OFF power switch. Glow powered airplanes require a separate battery to power the receiver and servos, and using a separate switch harness is convenient for turning on and off power to the receiver. 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. Locate the switch well away from the propeller and the exhausts from a glow engine. Cut a hole in the side of the fuselage large enough to allow the switch’s lever to move freely and fully from end-to-end. If the switch harness includes mounting screws, be sure not to cut the hole so long that it would prevent the mounting screws from being installed ﬁ rmly.One switch harness lead connects to the receiver’s “BAT” socket, another connects to the battery, and the third lead is for convenient recharging of the battery through the switch harness. Charging of the rechargeable battery through the switch harness can only be accomplished when the switch is in the OFF position.Use of “AA” NiCd or NiMH rechargeable cells is recommended. Do not use alkaline cells for powering the receiver and servos. See the SERVOS AND ACCESSORIES section on page 16 for a full list of optional batteries and chargers. IMPORTANT! Always make sure that power is applied to the transmitter BEFORE applying power to the receiver and servos, and that the throttle stick is at minimum (idle) position. Failure to do so could result in the model becoming uncontrollable and cause a safety hazard.BIND THE RECEIVER TO THE TRANSMITTERFor proper operation it’s necessary to “bind” the Tx and Rx together electronically. This ensures sole communication between the two, and prevents other transmitters from being able to control the receiver.

111. 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” and press the pushbutton until the Rx 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 ﬂ ash once and then remain ON.6. Test for proper Tx /Rx functionality before use. If the radio doesn’t appear to have become properly bound, repeat steps 1– 6 above.FAILSAFE FUNCTIONThe included TR624 receiver has a failsafe feature which engages in the event that the radio signal from the transmitter somehow becomes interrupted. If radio contact is broken, this safety feature causes the servos to automatically move either to a certain position, or hold their last position so to prevent the model from moving in an erratic manner. Channels 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 will enter a “hold” mode, whereby the servos will lock in their last recognized position.The servo connected to channel 3, normally being the throttle control, will move to a pre-set position. The factory default failsafe position for channel 3 is to move to 0% throttle. Motor/prop movement should stop if the receiver loses signal from the transmitter. The throttle servo’s failsafe position can be manually re-set to any other position if desired, as follows:IMPORTANT NOTE: Before manually resetting the failsafe, make sure the servo reversing switches are in the correct position for the application. 1. Apply power to the Tx and Rx. 2a. If using an ESC, do NOT arm the ESC. Do NOT attempt to adjust the throttle’s failsafe position if the ESC is armed. 2b. If using a gas or glow powered engine, do NOT attempt to adjust the throttle’s failsafe position while the engine is operating. 3. Move the Tx throttle stick to the desired position for the throttle control to move if the Rx goes to failsafe. 4. Press and hold the “Bind” button on the receiver, and the Rx’s LED should blink twice. Release the Bind button, and the receiver’s LED should turn on (stop ﬂ ashing). The Tx and Rx should now be bound, with the throttle failsafe in the new position as set above.NOTE: If you’re using an ESC which has a signal loss feature, the pre-set failsafe position is irrelevant as the signal loss feature will cease the throttle operation if the signal is lost.

12SYSTEM CHECK AND OPERATIONWARNING! 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 solid to prevent them from easily becoming dislodged during normal ﬂ ight. 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 position of the reversing switch for that particular channel.5. With both sticks at center position, move the trim levers 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 lever is in the center position, 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 throttle in the model. Depending on whether the airplane is electric or glow powered:a. Electric: conﬁ rm that when the throttle stick is at maximum position the electronic speed control gives the appropriate indications (LED and/or audible indicators) for full forward ﬂ ight. And, when the throttle stick is at minimum position the electronic speed control gives the appropriate indications for “off” or no motor rotation.b. Glow: conﬁ rm that when the throttle stick is at maximum position the mechanical linkage to the engine allows 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 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 is according to the movement of the transmitter.

138. 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. 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.FLYING THE AIRCRAFT1. 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 very careful to stay clear from moving propellers!!2. Make sure the glow engine fuel tank has an adequate amount of fuel, or power batteries for electric airplanes are fully charged.3. Move the Tx throttle stick to the minimum position, then turn on the Tx power switch. Turn on the power switch in the model or connect the ﬂ ight battery.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 smooth, even ﬂ ight. If further adjustments are required on the ground, make sure to turn off the engine or ESC/motor before making such adjustments.5. When the ﬂ ight is completed, remove power from the system as described before. Shut down power to the electronic speed control or glow engine ﬁ rst, then the receiver, and ﬁ nally the transmitter.SAFETY GUIDEThe Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) has established an Ofﬁ cial Safety Code.

19IMPORTANT WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS● NEVER allow water or moisture to make contact with the electronic components inside the transmitter, receiver, 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, buildings, or pedestrians. Be very careful in locations where many R/C 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 area.● NEVER allow small children to operate/control model R/C equipment without the supervision of an adult.● NEVER allow the transmitter’s throttle stick to accidentally 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, or 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.

20TROUBLESHOOTINGRANGE IS SHORTInterference – check Rx installation and servo connections. Low Tx or Rx battery – replace the batteries or recharge if applicable. 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 SHORTLow 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 FUNCTIONTx 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. Check Tx or Rx battery polarity.INTERFERENCE OR SERVOS GLITCHINGOut 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 R/C 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 the Rx inside the model or relocate the ESC.CONTROL SURFACE MOVES IN THE WRONG DIRECTIONReverse the position of the reversing switch for the appropriate channel.ONLY ONE SERVO GLITCHESServo is bad – replace the servo or send to Hobby Services for repair.FAILSAFE NOT WORKING CORRECTLYReceiver is not properly binded to the transmitter – bind the Rx to the Tx and re-try.
