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.
