WLtoys XK A160 RC Airplane 650mm – 3D/6G Brushless

The WLtoys XK A160 RC Airplane is a 5-channel electric remote control aircraft designed for outdoor flying and suitable for beginner, intermediate, and experienced RC airplane enthusiasts. With a 650mm wingspan, lightweight EPP foam construction, a 1406 brushless motor, and a 2.4GHz radio system with up to 200 meters of control distance, the A160 combines responsive control with stable flight characteristics.

One of its main features is the selectable 3D and 6G flight system. The 6-axis gyroscope-assisted 6G mode provides additional stability for pilots who are learning to fly, while 3D mode allows more experienced pilots to perform aerobatic maneuvers such as rolls, inverted flight, and somersaults. The aircraft is powered by a 7.4V 500mAh Li-Po battery and can provide approximately 10 minutes of flight time under suitable conditions.

Key Features of the WLtoys XK A160

• 650mm Wingspan: Compact size provides a practical balance between portability and outdoor flying performance.

• 5-Channel Control: Provides control over the aircraft's primary flight functions.

• 3D and 6G Flight Modes: Switch between gyroscope-assisted stability and aerobatic control according to your flying experience.

• 1406 Brushless Motor: Provides efficient electric propulsion for the aircraft.

• 2.4GHz Radio System: Offers a control distance of up to approximately 200 meters.

• EPP Foam Construction: Lightweight foam material provides impact resistance and helps the aircraft withstand normal handling.

• Adjustable Rudder Response: Choose a smaller rudder setting for more controlled beginner flying or a larger rudder setting for more responsive aerobatic control.

• Approximately 10-Minute Flight Time: The included 7.4V 500mAh Li-Po battery provides approximately 10 minutes of flying time.

WLtoys XK A160 Design and Performance

The WLtoys XK A160 uses an EPP foam and plastic construction designed for lightweight outdoor RC flying. EPP foam is commonly used in RC aircraft because it combines low weight with resistance to impact and deformation. The aircraft has a 650mm wingspan, a 460mm fuselage length, and an approximately 180mm fuselage height.

Power comes from a 1406 brushless motor, providing the propulsion required for normal flight and aerobatic operation. The aircraft's relatively compact dimensions make it easier to transport compared with larger RC airplanes.

The A160 is designed around two different flight-control approaches. Its 6G mode uses a 6-axis gyroscope system to help provide a more stable flight experience, while 3D mode provides greater control response for pilots interested in aerobatic maneuvers. The selectable rudder response also allows the aircraft's handling characteristics to be adjusted according to the pilot's experience.

3D and 6G Flight Modes

The 3D/6G system is one of the defining features of the WLtoys XK A160.

The 6G mode uses a 6-axis gyroscope system to assist with flight stability. This makes it particularly useful for pilots who are developing their RC airplane flying skills and want additional assistance while learning basic control.

The 3D mode provides a more responsive flying experience for experienced pilots. According to the supplied specifications, this mode supports aerobatic maneuvers including rolling, inverted flight, and somersaults.

The aircraft also includes adjustable rudder response. A smaller rudder setting is intended for beginners who prefer more controlled movements, while the larger rudder setting provides greater control authority for experienced pilots.

2.4GHz Remote Control System

The WLtoys XK A160 uses a 2.4GHz remote control system with a 5-channel configuration. The supplied transmitter operates in MODE2 and requires four 1.5V AA batteries, which are not included with the transmitter.

The stated remote-control distance is approximately 200 meters. The radio system provides control of the aircraft's flight functions, including forward movement, left and right turning, rudder adjustment, and flight-mode operation.

The 2.4GHz system is designed for outdoor RC flying and gives the pilot wireless control of the aircraft from the ground.

Battery and Power System

The A160 is an electric RC airplane powered by a 7.4V 500mAh Li-Po battery. The aircraft battery is included in the package according to the supplied product information.

The manufacturer information states an approximate flight time of up to 10 minutes, depending on flying conditions and usage. Charging takes approximately 30–60 minutes using the supplied charging cable.

The transmitter requires 4 × 1.5V AA batteries, which are not included.

Durable EPP Foam Construction

The aircraft is constructed primarily from EPP foam with plastic components. This lightweight material helps keep the aircraft's overall size and weight manageable while providing resistance to everyday impacts.

The modular design also makes the A160 easier to transport and maintain. The aircraft is supplied disassembled, with the required installation hardware included in the package.
