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 2.4GHz
transmitters are compatible only with
Tactic brand receivers and those utilizing
the SLT protocol.

The SLT technology ensures that transmitters emit a strong, clear, frequency-
hopping 2.4GHz signal, and that your compatible receiver accepts only your
signal. Linking most Tactic brand receivers is as simple as pushing a button.
The TTX810 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 TTX810.
The TTX810 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
TTX810 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 weakTx 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 TTX810 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 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.

FLIGHT CONTROLS

5
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). 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 / FORE-AFT (CH2)
For multi-rotors: Up / down movement of the right-hand stick controls forward / aft movement. Pushing
the stick up (towards the Tx handle) moves the nose of the model forward. Pulling the stick down (away from
the handle) moves the nose of the model backwards.
For airplanes: 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 / UP-DOWN (CH3)
For multi-rotors: Up / down movement of the the left-hand stick increases motor speed (RPM) and controls
the up / down movement. Pushing the stick up (towards the Tx handle) moves the model up vertically. Pulling
the stick down (away from the handle) moves the model downward.
For airplanes: Controls the speed (RPM) 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 / ROTATION (CH4)
For multi-rotors: Sideways movement of the left-hand stick controls clockwise / counter-clockwise rotation.
Right movement of the stick rotates the model clockwise (nose-right). Left movement of the stick rotates the
model counter-clockwise (nose-left).
For airplanes: 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.
CHANNELS 5, 6, and 8
Three-position non-proportional switch controls exist for each channel, and can serve multiple purposes.
Servo output arm movement is limited to full clockwise movement, channel center, and full counter-clockwise
movement for each.

6
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. 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.
For models 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 1-8 each respective channel. Moving the small switch lever under the respective
channel number will change the direction of control for that channel.
DUAL RATE SWITCH
The travel distance of the aileron, elevator, and rudder channels can be changed at anytime by using the
switch marked AIL / ELE / RUD D/R, located above the right stick.This switch will change the travel distance
of all three channels simultaneously (not separately). With the switch in one position, each channel’s servo
will be capable of rotating through its full travel range (100%). Moving the switch to the opposite position
will limit the rotational range of each channel’s servo to 60% of its maximum rotational range. Placing the
dual-rate switch in one position can allow for better control of the model while on the ground, at low altitudes,
or while performing certain maneuvers. Moving the switch to the opposite position can allow for optimum
control of the aircraft in mid-flight.
The TTX810 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 TTX810 to some computer based flight simulators. See
the SERVOS AND ACCESSORIES section on page 12 for recommended trainer cords. Refer to instructions
TRAINER FUNCTION

7
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. 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 TTX810 includes elevon and v-tail mixing functions to
be used specifically with airplanes. If not using one of these
mixes or the TTX810 will not be used to control an airplane,
skip to the next section.
The default setting for all mixing will be “off”, meaning all
channels will function independently of each other until a mix
has been activated. 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.
AIRPLANE ELEVON and V-TAIL MIXING

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”
axes 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.

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 surfaces. 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. 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. The remaining wire at the “OFF” side of the switch can be used for recharging the battery through
the switch harness. Make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position to charge the battery through the switch.
Linking the TTX810 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 engages in the event the signal from the Tx somehow becomes interrupted, and is
controlled by the Tactic receiver. Depending on the receiver used, the failsafe position of certain channels
can be set by the user. All other channels will hold their last recognized position.
Tactic’s TR624 and TR625 receivers allow for the failsafe position of throttle channel 3 to be custom set by
the user. The factory default failsafe position for channel 3 is 0% throttle. Channels 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 will hold
their last recognized positions.
Tactic’s TR825 receiver allows for the failsafe position of all eight channels to be set by the user.
Refer to the instructions included with the respective receiver for how to set the failsafe positions. Basic
setting instructions are 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. Depending on the receiver used, move the appropriate controls to the desired failsafe position(s).
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 failsafe position
for each respective channel 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. For airplanes, 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 model 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 models. 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, prepare for flight. For airplanes, re-attach the propeller to the model.
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 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. 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.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS

14
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.
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 GLITCHING SERVOS: 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.
