SLT TECHNOLOGY, Tx-R, AND COMPATIBLE RECEIVERS
The SLT technology ensures that transmitters emit a strong, clear, frequency-
hopping 2.4GHz signal, and that your compatible receiver accepts only your signal.
Binding most Tactic brand receivers is as simple as pushing a button. The TTX610 is also compatible with all transmitter-ready aircraft bearing the Tx-R™ logo, and non-Tactic brand receivers having the SLT protocol*.
TM
* Make sure optional receivers have the genuine SLT protocol before use with the TTX610.

INPUT POWER
Four 1.5V “AA” alkaline batteries or 1.2V rechargeable nickel-cadmium (NiCd) or nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries are required (not included). Do not mix cell types, or old and new cells, etc. See the SERVOS AND ACCESSORIES section on page 12 for optional batteries available at local hobby retailers. Slide open the battery door. Insert all cells with the proper polarity as shown inside the battery holder. Close the battery door.
POWER SWITCH, LED, AND LOW BATTERY ALARM
The red 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. Flashing of this LED accompanied by beeps means the Tx batteries have weakened and operation of the model should NOT be attempted!
The TTX610 is available in either a “Mode 2” configuration with
throttle on the left and elevator on the right, or “Mode 1” configuration with throttle on the right and elevator on the left. Be sure the radio purchased is of the correct mode.
To change between stick modes (mode2 <> mode1), see www.
tacticrc.com/transmitters and follow the link for the TTX610 radio to find detailed instructions.
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 flight! If this alarm activates during flight land the aircraft immediately! Failure to do so could result in destruction of the model and possibly bodily injury!
CHARGE JACK AND CHARGING RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES
WARNING!! Do NOT attempt to recharge alkaline batteries! The charge jack should ONLY be used if rechargeable cells are used in the transmitter. Do not accidentally short circuit the terminals inside the charge jack as permanent damage could result and void the warranty.
The TTX610 includes a built-in charge jack for convenient recharging of
NiCd or NiMH batteries, and is compatible with charge leads designed for Futaba
This jack is NOT compatible with charge leads for Hitec®, Airtronics®, JR
or Spektrum® radios. Always make sure to use a charger (not included) which is 100% compatible with the selected battery type.
To use the charge jack, make sure the Tx power switch is in the OFF position. Connect a compatible charge
lead (such as TACP0101) to the charger first, then to the Tx charge jack. Follow the instructions included with the charger.
®
brand transmitters with the center pin being positive polarity.
WARNING!! Do not charge batteries at currents greater than 1 amp through this charge jack. Misuse, improper charging, or over-charging of rechargeable cells can result in damage to the cells that could include cell rupture, explosion, or fire!!

FLIGHT CONTROLS
GIMBAL STICKS
Ball-bearing construction allows both sticks to provide the ultimate in smooth, precise control. Stick length can be adjusted for optimum feel and control. Using a 5/64 inch hex wrench, loosen the set screw inside the tip of the stick. Rotate the stick tip counter-clockwise to lengthen or clockwise to shorten the stick. Once the desired stick length is found, tighten the set screw.
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). The aileron reversing switch must be set so moving the aileron stick to the right will cause the airplane’s right aileron to deflect 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.
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).
The elevator reversing switch must be set so that pulling the elevator stick back (towards you) will cause
the elevators to deflect 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 normal 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 center­point of the fuselage). The rudder reversing switch must be set so that moving the rudder stick to the right causes the rudder to deflect 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 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.
CHANNEL 5
This channel offers two-position non-proportional control and is typically used to control retractable landing
gear, controlled by the switch shown on page 3. Rotational servo movement is limited to full clockwise movement and full counter-clockwise movement.
