ADDITIONAL ITEMS REQUIRED
Radio Control System
The AcroWot MKII Tx-R ™ (Transmitter Ready ™ ) comes with
the servos and receiver installed, so all that is required is a
4-channel transmitter. The Tactic ™ TTX404 2.4GHz spread
spectrum 4-channel transmitter (TACJ2404) is included with
the RTF (ready to fl y) version of the AcroWot, so this same
radio system is ideal for your Tx-R version, too.
❍ Tactic TTX404 2.4GHz 4-channel transmitter
(TACJ2404)
❍ (4) AA batteries will be required to operate the
recommended transmitter (FUGP7308).
If you already own a transmitter that you plan to use with the
AcroWot, fi rst make sure it is in the compatibility list at www.
Tx-Ready.com/anylink-chart.html. If so, you can purchase
the AnyLink 2.4GHz Universal Radio Adapter to allow your
transmitter to communicate with the pre-installed Tactic receiver.

Battery and Charger
The AcroWot MKII RTF comes complete with a motor battery
and charger. The AcroWot MKII Tx-R version requires an
1800mAh 11.1V LiPo battery and LiPo Charger. The AcroWot
MKII was designed for the Flyzone 1800mAh 11.1V LiPo
battery (FLZA6024). Other LiPo batteries similar in size with
the same voltage and capacity may also work, but they may
not fi t properly in the battery compartment or have the same
type of battery connector. In addition to a battery, a LiPo
battery charger is also required and there are several that will
work (depending on your budget and requirements). A safe,
economical charger is the ElectriFly
® 3S (3-cell/ 11.1V) LiPo
Smart Charger (GPMM3318). The Smart Charger includes
adapters to charge from a 110V wall outlet or a 12V DC outlet
from a car. The Smart Charger will take approximately 2-1/2
to 3 hours to fully charge the battery. For a more advanced
charger we recommend the ElectriFly Triton EQ AC/DC
Charger. (GPMM3155) The Triton EQ can charge NiCd, NiMh,
Lead-Acid, Li-Ion, LiPo, and LiFe battery chemistries. It has
a built-in cell balancer and is loaded with features such as a
backlit LCD that will display charge settings and realtime data
during charge, 5A max charge rate, 1–14 NiCd or NiMH cells
or 1–6S lithium cells, safety features, etc.
TTX404 TRANSMITTER
To install the batteries, slide the battery door down. Insert the
cells as shown in the diagram, making sure to note proper
polarity for each cell. Close the battery door.
Power Switch, LED,
and Low Battery Alarm
The red power LED should light when the power switch is
moved upwards to the “ON” position. The Tx should have
adequate power for fl ight when the LED is on constantly.
Anytime the LED begins to fl ash, accompanied by the
sounding of an audible tone, the Tx battery voltage has
dropped too low and operation of the model should NOT
be attempted!
WARNING! Never operate an R/C model
with weak Tx 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 fl ight!
If during a fl ight the Tx LED starts to fl ash, accompanied
by the sounding of audible tones, it’s a warning that the
Tx batteries have become weak and the aircraft should be
landed as soon as possible!
