Tactic TTX410 Instruction Manual - Flying The Aircraft

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.
