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 TTX410
is also compatible with all transmitter-ready aircraft bearing the Tx-R™logo, and
non-Tactic brand receivers having the *SLT protocol.
*Make sure optional receivers have the genuine SLT protocol before use with the TTX410.

The TTX410 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
tacticrc.com/transmitters and follow the link for the TTX410
radio to find detailed instructions.
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!
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 TTX410 includes a built-in charge jack for convenient recharging of NiCd
or NiMH batteries, and is compatible with charge leads designed for Futaba®
brand transmitters with the center pin being positive polarity. 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.
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!!

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" 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 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 to bank to the right. Moving the aileron stick to the left will cause the airplane’s
left wing to drop and the airplane to 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 center-
point 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.
DIGITAL TRIMS
A “trim” lever is included for each of the 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. Pressing and holding the trim lever
will cause the servo output to move repeatedly. Ideally during a flight, when the main sticks are released and spring
back to center position the aircraft should not veer in any direction. If the aircraft veers in a particular direction,
click the respective trim lever until the aircraft maintains a straight attitude on its own.
FLIGHT CONTROLS

6
For airplanes with glow engines, the position of the throttle trim lever is helpful for determining the engine’s
preferred idle point. The throttle trim lever is not active when the main throttle stick is above 50% full throttle.
REVERSING SWITCHES
Inside the battery compartment is a bank of switches, with one reversing switch for each channel. Each
switch can reverse the rotational direction of the servo that is connected to that 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
specific details.
The switch bank is numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. Moving the small switch lever for the respective channel number
will change the direction of control for that channel.
The TTX410 Tx includes both wired and wireless trainer functions.
IMPORTANT: Before flying the model in training situations it’s important to make sure all channel
reverse settings and trim adjustments on the teacher and student transmitters match! Otherwise, the
model could suddenly veer in an unwanted manner when the teacher’s trainer switch is activated.
Proper matching of the student and teacher’s Tx settings should ensure that no unexpected
movements occur when the trainer switch is pressed. This is especially true of the throttle control!
WIRED TRAINER
This option allows for connection to another Tx having a trainer jack, and can function as either the teacher
or student’s Tx. This also allows for connection of the TTX410 to some computer based flight simulators. See
the SERVOS AND ACCESSORIES section on page 12 for recommended trainer cords. Refer to instructions
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 9. 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. To transfer control of the aircraft to the student, pull the teacher’s trainer switch and hold. Release
the switch to immediately return control of the aircraft to the teacher.
6. When the training session has ended and power has been safely removed from the model, disconnect
the trainer cord.
WIRELESS TRAINER
This option allows for communication with another Tactic Tx by wireless means, and can function as the teacher
or student’s Tx. This function is not compatible with other brand radios.
1. Link the teacher’s Tx to the receiver inside the aircraft. Remove power from the Rx, then the Tx.
2. The student must use a separate Tactic Tx with wireless trainer function.
3. Place both transmitters within 1 meter of each other, with the throttle stick for each Tx in the idle position.
4. Turn the student’s Tx power switch ON.
5. Pull and hold the teacher’s Tx trainer switch, and then turn the teacher’s Tx power switch ON.

6. The LED on the teacher’s Tx will flash 3 times to indicate it has linked to the student’s Tx.
7. Release the trainer switch on the teacher’s Tx.
8. Once both transmitters are linked together, power can be applied to the Rx to prepare for flight. Make
sure both transmitters are kept within 15 feet of each other at all times while training.
9. To transfer control of the aircraft to the student, pull the teacher’s trainer switch and hold. Release
the switch to immediately return control of the aircraft to the teacher.
10. When the training session has ended and power has been safely removed from the model, turn
OFF the power switch of both transmitters.This will break the wireless link between both transmitters.
Return to step 1 above to re-establish the wireless link for additional training.
The TTX410 includes elevon and v-tail mixing functions. The default setting for all mixing will be “off”, meaning
functionality will be suitable for traditional airplane wings and a normal T-shaped tail.To change the mix setting:
1. With the Tx power switch off, move the right
stick to the bottom-right corner, the left stick to
the bottom-left corner, and hold in these positions.
2. Turn the Tx power switch ON.
3. The LED should flash. If accompanied by 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” axis at the same
time. If the elevator and rudder functions appear
reversed at the control surfaces it may be necessary to swap the channel 2 and channel 4 servo plug
positions in the receiver. If this is the desired mix function move to the next section.
4. To skip the V-tail mix and
instead activate the elevon (delta
wing) mixer, turn the Tx power
switch OFF and repeat the above
procedure. When the flashing
LED is accompanied by three
beeps the elevon mixer will be
active.“Elevon” is a mixture of the
elevator and aileron channels and
controls the airplane’s “pitch” and “roll” axis simultaneously. One servo is used for each control surface.
If the elevator and aileron functions appear reversed at the control surfaces, it may be necessary to
swap the channel 1 and channel 2 servos’ plug positions at the receiver.
5. To cancel all mixes, repeat this procedure again. When the flashing LED is accompanied by one
beep all mixes will be off.

RECEIVER (Rx)
Mount the Rx as specified in the model’s instructions. Wrapping the Rx with foam rubber can help to prevent
damage resulting from vibration but could prevent adequate airflow from passing over the Rx. See the
SERVOS AND ACCESSORIES section for other Tactic receivers to work with the TTX410.
SERVOS
Center all trims on the Tx. Install the servos in the
model and connect linkages as shown in the model’s
instructions. Do NOT over-tighten the mounting screws,
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. This can be tested by moving the Tx sticks to maximum positions several times while observing the
movement of the control services. Adjust binding servos/linkages to prevent excessive draining of the battery.
Move the Tx trims to finely adjust the servo’s center point as needed for the application.
Connect the servos to the Rx as shown. Route the wires to not interfere with moving parts.
See the SERVOS AND ACCESSORIES section on page 12 for a full list of optional servos.

ELECTRIC MODELS
An optional ESC (electronic speed control) will be necessary to control speed of the electric motor, and
to supply power to the receiver and servos. Connect the ESC’s receiver plug to Rx slot marked CH3 (for
throttle). Center the transmitter’s throttle trim and follow the ESC instructions for proper operation and
connection of the battery.
COMBUSTION MODELS
Individual “AA” NiCd or NiMH rechargeable batteries can be installed in the included battery holder to power
the flight electronics (do not use alkaline cells). An optional rechargeable battery pack could instead be used.
See the SERVOS AND ACCESSORIES section on page 12 for suggested options.The included switch harness
can conveniently turn power ON/OFF to the flight electronics. Refer to the model’s instructions for the optimum
location to mount the battery, Rx, and switch harness for optimum weight distribution.
IMPORTANT! Apply power to the Tx BEFORE applying power to the Rx, and make sure 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.
Locate the switch harness away from the propeller and the glow engine exhaust. 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. The
remaining wire at the “OFF” side of the switch can be used for re-charging the battery through the switch
harness. Make sure the switch is in the “”OFF” position to charge the battery through the switch.
Linking the TTX410 to the included receiver ensures sole communication between the two, and prevents
other transmitters from being able to control the receiver.
1. Turn on the Tx.
2. Apply power to the Rx.
3. If the Rx LED flashes once and then stays on, the Rx is already linked to the Tx and you can skip
to the next section. Otherwise, insert a small diameter screwdriver through the hole marked “LINK”
and press the pushbutton until the Rx LED glows red and then turns off after about one second.
4. Release the “LINK” button.
5. If the linking is successful, the Rx LED will flash once and then remain ON.
6. Test for proper Tx/Rx functionality before use. If the radio doesn’t appear to have become properly
linked, repeat steps 1-5 above and move the Tx at least three feet away from the Rx.

The failsafe function is controlled by the included receiver. This function engages in the event the signal
from the Tx somehow becomes interrupted. In such case, channels 1, 2, and 4 (not channel 3) will hold
their last received position.
The factory default failsafe position for channel 3 is to move to 0% throttle. The throttle’s failsafe position can
be manually set to any other position if desired, as follows:
1. IMPORTANT: Make sure the servo reversing switches are in the correct position for the application.
2. Apply power to the Tx, then the Rx.
3a. If using an ESC: Do NOT arm the ESC, or attempt to adjust the throttle’s failsafe position if the ESC
is armed. NOTE: If using an ESC which has a signal loss feature, its pre-set failsafe position will be
irrelevant as the receiver’s failsafe function will cease the throttle operation if the signal becomes lost.
3b. If using a combustion engine: Do NOT attempt to adjust the throttle’s failsafe position while the
engine is operating.
4. Move the Tx throttle stick to the desired throttle failsafe position.
5. Press and hold the receiver’s “LINK” button. The Rx’s LED should blink twice. Release the LINK
button, and the LED should stay on continuously. The Tx and Rx should now be linked, with the
throttle failsafe in the new position as set above.
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. Carefully lay the Tx on its back
on the ground to prevent it from falling over and possibly dislodging the throttle stick 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 flight. 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 flight.
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 reverse setting 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 combustion powered:
a. Electric: confirm that when the throttle stick is at maximum position the ESC gives the appropriate
indications (LED and/or beeps) for full forward flight. And, when the throttle stick is at minimum
position the ESC gives the appropriate indications for “off” or no motor rotation.

b. Combustion: confirm that when the throttle stick is at maximum position the mechanical linkage
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” to confirm the safe operating distance from the Tx to the Rx.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 move the controls and confirm all surfaces move appropriately.
8. Anytime power is to be removed from the radio system, it’s important to shut down power in the
aircraft first. 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 combustion engine or shut
down the ESC. Once the propeller has stopped rotating, move the switch harness in the model to
the OFF position, then disconnect the power battery from the ESC in electric airplanes. Then turn
off the power switch on the Tx.
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 and prepare for flight.
IMPORTANT: Be very careful to stay clear from moving propellers!!
2. Make sure the combustion engine’s fuel tank has an adequate amount of fuel, and power batteries
for electric airplanes 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 airplane to sustain smooth, even flight. If further adjustments are required on the ground,
make sure to turn off the engine or ESC/motor beforehand.
5. When the flight is completed, remove power from the system as described before. Shut down power
to the electronic speed control or combustion engine first, then the receiver, and finally the transmitter.

●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.
●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 rechargeable batteries were installed in the transmitter, remove the batteries before placing the radio
in long-term storage.
RANGE IS SHORT: Interference – 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.
RUNTIME IS SHORT: Low Tx or Rx batteries – replace or recharge the batteries. Obstructed servo linkages
causing excess battery drain – free the linkages / pushrods.
Tx ON BUT SERVOS DO NOT FUNCTION: Weak Tx or Rx batteries – replace or recharge the batteries.
Rx switch is in the off position – turn on the switch harness or ESC. Switch harness or ESC is connected
incorrectly – check all connections and the ESC instruction manual. Rx is not linked to the Tx properly –
perform linking process again.
INTERFERENCE OR SERVOS GLITCHING: Out of range – operate the model more closely to the Tx. 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 DIRECTION: Reverse the position of the reversing switch
for the appropriate channel.
ONLY ONE SERVO GLITCHES: Servo is bad – replace the servo or send to Hobby Services for repair.
FAILSAFE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY: Rx not properly linked to the Tx – re-link and re-try. Contact
Hobby Services for further details.
WIRELESSTRAINING FUNCTION NOT LINKING: Confirm that another 2.4GHz SLT system is not on in your
area. The teacher’s and student’s transmitters were not powered in the proper sequence or are positioned
too far from each other. Carefully follow the instructions on page 9 for proper linking and operation for training.
