WLtoys F959S RC Airplane 3CH 2.4GHz Gyro Glider

The WLtoys F959S RC Airplane is a lightweight three-channel remote control glider designed for outdoor flying and suitable for beginner to intermediate RC pilots. Featuring a 2.4GHz remote control system, six-axis gyroscope, folding propeller and carbon-fiber-reinforced wings, the F959S combines stable flight characteristics with responsive controls. Its EPO construction keeps the aircraft lightweight while providing impact resistance for everyday flying. With a wingspan of 75cm, a flight range of approximately 200 meters and a rechargeable 7.4V battery included, the WLtoys F959S is a practical choice for RC airplane enthusiasts looking for an easy-to-control fixed-wing aircraft.

Key Features of the WLtoys F959S

• Three-channel control: The F959S uses a 3-channel control system for managing the aircraft's primary flight functions.

• Six-axis gyroscope: Integrated flight stabilization helps make the airplane more stable during flight.

• 2.4GHz remote control: Provides a control distance of approximately 200 meters.

• Lightweight EPO construction: The one-piece EPO airframe has a smooth finish and is designed to provide good impact resistance.

• Folding propeller: The propeller folds back during gliding, helping reduce aerodynamic resistance.

• Carbon-fiber-reinforced wings: Wing reinforcement improves the structure while keeping the aircraft lightweight.

• High-performance N60 motor: A strong-magnetic N60 motor provides the power required for powered flight.

• Beginner-friendly control settings: The transmitter includes large and small rudder settings, allowing pilots to select a more manageable control response.

• Rechargeable lithium battery: A 7.4V 300mAh battery is included with the aircraft.

• Ready-to-go design: The aircraft is supplied with the main components required for operation, including the airframe, wings, transmitter and charger.

WLtoys F959S Design and Flight Performance

The WLtoys F959S features a streamlined glider-style design with a 75cm wingspan and 57cm fuselage length. Its aerodynamic layout is designed to provide stable flight and smooth gliding characteristics. The aircraft uses lightweight EPO material, with the bare airframe weighing approximately 100g.

A key feature of the F959S is its folding propeller. When the motor is not providing power and the aircraft is gliding, the propeller can fold back to reduce resistance. This allows the airplane to transition between powered flight and gliding.

The wings are reinforced with a carbon-fiber rod to provide additional structural support without adding significant weight. Combined with the lightweight EPO construction, this makes the aircraft suitable for outdoor recreational flying.

Six-Axis Gyroscope and Flight Control

The WLtoys F959S six-axis gyroscope system is designed to assist with flight stability. This can make the aircraft easier to control, particularly for pilots who are still becoming familiar with fixed-wing RC airplanes.

The 2.4GHz transmitter provides approximately 200 meters of remote control distance. The controller also offers large and small rudder settings. The smaller rudder setting is intended for more controlled flying and can be useful for beginners, while the larger setting allows more pronounced maneuvers.

The F959S is capable of more dynamic flight movements, including rolls and spirals, when operated using the larger rudder setting. Pilots should operate the aircraft in an appropriate open outdoor area with sufficient space for takeoff, flight and landing.

Motor, Battery and Charging

The WLtoys F959S is powered by one high-performance strong-magnetic N60 motor. The included aircraft battery is a 7.4V 300mAh lithium battery, providing power for the aircraft's motor and electronics.

The supplied specifications indicate a flight time of approximately 15 minutes, depending on flying conditions and how the aircraft is operated. The product information also indicates that gliding can extend the aircraft's time in the air under suitable conditions.

Charging takes approximately 30–40 minutes according to the supplied product specifications. A charger and adapter are included in the package.

The remote controller requires four AA 1.5V batteries, which are not included.

Lightweight EPO Construction

The F959S uses EPO material for its main airframe. EPO is a lightweight foam material commonly used in RC aircraft because it provides a useful balance between low weight and impact resistance.

The aircraft has a bare-metal weight of approximately 100g, while the supplied product information lists a takeoff weight of approximately 125g. Its relatively low weight contributes to its gliding characteristics and makes it practical to transport and operate outdoors.

The aircraft is supplied as a ready-to-go model with the main airframe and wings included.
