Tactic TTX650
Any of the newer Flyzone and Great Planes micros can be flown with the TTX650 and give the pilot more adaptability in control throws and rates. The Flyzone S.E.5a (above left) was the first model programmed into the TTX650.
Flyzone S.E.5a micro
The following is how I set my S.E.5a up based on my personal preferences. I was able to set the model up with dual rates and exponential. Feel free to personalize your rates and expo based on your comfort level. The first thing you will want to do is to name your model.
Model Name: Turn on the transmitter and hold down the ENTER key for two sec- onds. Here we find the Model Setup menu. Using the minus key, scroll down to MODEL MANAGEMENT and select ENTER. Here we see a new menu but we are only concerned right now with the first two on the list. The type will be highlighted and should be set at Air- plane, if not select ENTER and use the minus or plus key to select the airplane and select ENTER.
Now using the minus key, scroll down to
The main screen for the S.E.5a (above right). Clearly seen is the model name, transmitter usable voltage, digital trim positions and the user programmed flight timer. Programming the S.E.5a only took a few minutes.
Name: and select ENTER. Naming is easy, Scroll through the characters until you land on the desired character and select ENTER. It is here that I entered S-.-E-.-5-a. When fin- ished, select ESC three times to get to the Home menu. You should now see S.E.5a in the upper left hand corner of the screen. Model Set Up: Now to set up our aircraft to the transmitter. Binding a Flyzone, Heli- max, Hobbico or Great Planes model with the SLT receiver is easy. Shut down the TTX650 and connect a freshly charged bat- tery in the model, in my case, the S.E.5a. Keep the prop clear of everything including your fingers. All the aforementioned models have a soft start but I always like to play it safe. Now turn on the TTX650. That is it, the model is bound.
A few things you will notice, the throttle will need to be reversed and with most three
channels, you will want rudder control on the right aileron stick. Remove the battery from the model and select ENTER once. You are now in the Settings menu. Servo set will be highlighted, select ENTER and you will be taken into the menu that will allow you to reverse any servo on any channel 1–5. Using the minus key scroll down to the throttle servo, in this case channel 3. Select ENTER and NOR will be highlighted. Using the plus or minus key will reverse the channel, then select ENTER once again.
Plug the battery into the model and check the setting. You should hear one beep, ad- vance the throttle and hear another beep, reduce throttle and hear two beeps, the model is armed and ready. Now you’ll notice the elevator is reversed, using the same steps above for the throttle, reverse the elevator channel, in this case
Setting up a micro three-channel model such as the Flyzone S.E.5a is simple. By entering the SETTINGS menu (above left) and selecting SERVO SET, you can easily set servos for normal or reverse orientation (above center). Setting up right stick control is easy with the programmable mix (above right) and
selecting channels 1 and 4 (below left). Selecting switch D to the off position (below center) will allow the model to fly with just the rudder. Selecting switch D in the on position (below right) allows the functionality of both the left and right stick, rudder and aileron controls.
