Tactik TTX600 Instruction Manual

Manual is about: 2.4GHz 6-Channel Spread Spectrum Radio

Summary of TTX600

  • Page 1

    The tactic ttx600 airplane radio system uses an advanced 2.4ghz spread spectrum technology to prevent unwanted outside interference from interrupting control of the model, ensuring error-free fl ying and eliminating the need to pull frequency pins before every fl ight. Tactic 2.4ghz transmitters and...
