Hobbico Flyzone Cessna 182 SKYLANE User manual

A new radio system is now included with
the Cessna 182 RTF. The Tactic 2.4GHz
TTX600 Transmitter & the TR624 Receiver
is a substantial upgrade over the previous
72MHz equipment. Assemble the Cessna
182 RTF according to the instructions.
Please refer to this addendum on sections
pertaining to the radio system. For more
information and features of the new radio
system go to tacticrc.com.
RADIO UPGRADE
1. Install (4) AA batteries
in the TTX-600
2. Make sure the correct leads are plugged into the TR624 RX in
the proper order and that TR624 is secured to the aircraft.
Aileron: N
Elevator: N
Throttle: R
Rudder: R
3. Make sure the servo reversing switches on the TTX600 are in
the positions shown.
4. Once the battery is installed
and the ESC is powered.
Make sure the controls from
the TTX600 correspond to
the aircraft properly.
(It is not recommended to exceed 1/3 of the full dial throw on
the TTX600 while operating the Cessna 182. Applying more
than 1/3 throw could cause excessive flap throw and make
the Cessna 182 difficult to control.)

5. The TTX-600 has a dual rate switch which provides two
rates of servo throw for channels 1, 2, and 4. Beginning pilots
are recommended to fly with the Dual/Rate switch in the low
position (less control throw). More advanced pilots may enjoy
the challenge of the Dual /Rate switch in the high position (more
control throw).

6. If the TTX600 and the TR624 power properly but the TR624
does not receive, you may need to re-bind the TR624 to the
TTX600. To do so follow these steps.
A. Turn on the Tx.
B. Apply power to the Rx.
C. If the Rx LED flashes 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.
D. Release the “BIND” button.
E. If the binding is successful, the Rx LED will flash once
and then remain ON.
F. Test for proper Tx/Rx functionality before use. If the radio
doesn’t appear to have become properly bound, repeat
steps 1–6 above.
7. The 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.
A. Apply power to the Tx and Rx.
Bi. If using an ESC, do NOT arm the ESC. Do NOT attempt
to adjust the throttle’s failsafe position if the ESC is
armed.
Bii. If using a gas or glow powered engine, do NOT attempt
to adjust the throttle’sfailsafe position while the engine
is operating.
C. Move the Tx throttle stick to the desired position for the
throttle control to move if the Rx goes to failsafe.
D. 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 flashing).
The Tx and Rx should now be bound, with the throttle
failsafe in the new position as set above.
Enjoy flying the Cessna 182 with the TTX600! If you have any questions, please contact:
