FAQ
Is the WL Toys K170 Black Hawk ready to fly? Yes. The K170 is supplied as an RTF helicopter with transmitter, flight battery and USB charger. Transmitter batteries may be required separately depending on the supplied package.
Is the K170 suitable for beginners? The 6-axis gyro, altitude hold and one-key take-off and landing functions make the K170 considerably easier to fly than a conventional collective-pitch helicopter. It still requires adequate open space and careful control practice.
Is the K170 brushless? The main drive motor is an 1106 11200Kv brushless motor. The tail uses a separate 720 hollow-cup motor.
How long does the K170 fly? Published specifications quote approximately 8 minutes from the included 800mAh battery. Actual flight time varies with flying style, battery condition and wind.
Can the WL Toys K170 be flown outdoors? Yes, but its approximately 85g airframe is lightweight. Owner feedback indicates that wind can noticeably affect its flight, so calm or light-wind conditions are preferable.
Does the K170 need calibration before flying? Yes. Current operating guidance recommends calibrating the gyroscope before each take-off after the transmitter and helicopter have linked. Follow the supplied manual for the correct stick procedure.
Important Notes
- Perform gyro calibration on a level, stationary surface before take-off as described in the instruction manual
- Fly in a clear area away from people, animals, vehicles and obstacles
- The lightweight airframe is best suited to indoor use or calm outdoor conditions
- The quoted 80–100m radio range is approximate and varies with interference and operating conditions
- Flight and charging times are approximate and vary with battery condition and use
- Allow the motor and electronics to cool between repeated flights
- Use the supplied or correctly specified charger for the flight battery
