™ TACJ2403 2.4GHz 4-Channel Micro Spread Spectrum Radio Instruction Manual The Tactic™ TTX403 Micro 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 flying and eliminating the need to pull frequency pins before every flight. Tactic 2.4GHz transmitters and receivers are not compatible with other brand 2.4GHz equipment.
TTX403 TRANSMITTER (Tx) The TTX403 4-Channel Micro airplane transmitter can be configured to operate as a 3-channel or 4-channel Tx. When configured 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. Configuring 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.
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 flight when the LED is on constantly.
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.
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 flying 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.
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.
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.
SYSTEM CHECK AND OPERATION WARNING! 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 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.
FLYING THE AIRCRAFT 1. Once all setup procedures have been confirmed, 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.

● 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 motor. ● 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.
Charge Does Not Stop After 45 Minutes Internal problem might exist. Disconnect battery IMMEDIATELY and contact Hobby Services. Battery Voltage Low After Charge Is Completed Battery might be defective and requires replacement. Backup safety timer might have expired before full charge was reached – disconnect, then reconnect the battery to complete the charge process. Brushed Motor Runs Backwards Wiring to the motor is connected backwards. Reverse the wiring to the motor.
