T T X810 TM 2.4GHz 8-CHANNEL SPREAD SPECTRUM RADIO INSTRUCTION MANUAL The TTX810 radio system uses the advanced 2.4GHz spread spectrum SLT "Secure Link Technology" protocol for solid, interference-free control of R/C models. Ball-bearing gimbals and adjustable gimbal sticks are great for feel. Wired and wireless trainer systems, digital trims, a built-in charge jack, and extra channels add versatility. Tactic 2.

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.
AILERON / LEFT-RIGHT (CH1) For multi-rotors: Sideways movement of the right-hand stick controls right / left movement. Right movement of the stick moves the model to the right. Left movement of the stick moves the model to the left. For airplanes: 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).
CHANNEL 7 Full proportional control is possible, with a rotary dial. This can be used to control any accessory item where smooth or precise movements is desired. DIGITAL TRIMS One trim lever is included for each of the four main controls, located adjacent to the respective stick. All trims are digital in function, and always rest at mechanical center position. Briefly depressing the lever to either side away from center will cause the respective servo output to finely rotate to one direction.
included with those cords. To properly assign control of the aircraft to the teacher / student when using two Tactic brand transmitters for training, follow these steps in order: 1. Link the teacher’s Tx to the receiver inside the aircraft as explained on page 10. Remove power from the Rx, then the Tx. 2. Connect the student’s Tx to the teacher’s Tx with the appropriate trainer cord. 3. Turn the student’s transmitter power switch ON. 4. Turn the teacher’s transmitter power switch ON. 5.
3. The LED should flash. If accompanied by ch2 ch4 ch2 ch4 ch2 ch4 two beeps the V-tail mix function has been activated. “V-tail” is a mixture of the elevator and rudder channels. Two servos are used in the tail; one for each control surface. This will control the airplane’s “pitch” and “yaw” Right Rudder Up Elevator Left Rudder axis at the same time.
SERVOS Screw Rubber Grommet Center all trims on the Tx. Install the servos in the model and connect linkages as shown in the model’s Brass Eyelet instructions. Do NOT over-tighten the mounting screws, Servo Servo Tray as the servos should be able to move slightly to compensate for engine vibration. Make sure the pushrods are not too loose or bind in any way, and use a servo arm which allows for full range of motion for the servo.
Locate the switch harness away from the propeller and the glow engine exhaust. Where applicable, cut a hole in the side of the fuselage large enough to allow the switch’s lever to move fully from end-to-end - but not so long that the mounting screws cannot be secured to the fuselage. Connect the wire at the “ON” side of the switch to the receiver’s “BAT” slot. Connect the battery to the appropriate wire at the “OFF” side of the switch.
SYSTEM CHECK and OPERATION WARNING! Always make sure that power is applied to the transmitter BEFORE applying power to the receiver and servos, and the Tx throttle stick is at minimum (idle) position. Failure to do so could result in the model becoming uncontrollable and cause a safety hazard. During all pre-flight preparations, do not stand the Tx upright on the ground.
2. Make sure the combustion engine’s fuel tank has an adequate amount of fuel, and power batteries for electric models are fully charged. 3. Move the Tx throttle stick to minimum position, then turn on the Tx power switch. Turn on the power switch in the model or connect the flight battery. 4. During the first flight, it might be necessary to re-trim the aileron, elevator, and rudder channels to allow the model to sustain smooth, even flight.

TROUBLESHOOTING RANGE IS SHORT: Interference – check Rx installation. Weak Tx or Rx battery – replace the batteries or recharge as 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 SHORT: Weak Tx or Rx batteries – replace or recharge the batteries. Obstructed servo linkages causing excess battery drain – free the linkages / pushrods.
