XK A160 RC Airplane650mm Wingspan Brushless Motor
— About This Product
The XK A160 is the RC plane that doesn't become obsolete when you get good — it evolves with you. Start in 6G stabilised mode where the gyroscope actively maintains level flight and corrects disturbances automatically, building confidence and muscle memory without fighting the aircraft. When you're ready, switch to 3D mode and discover what the brushless motor and 650mm wingspan are actually capable of: loops, rolls, knife-edge passes, and the full aerobatic vocabulary that separates skilled pilots from casual ones. Same aircraft, two completely different flying experiences.
For pilots who want longevity from their RC investment, for beginners who want to start with something they won't grow out of in three months, and for experienced pilots who want a 3D platform with a trainer mode for teaching others. The XK A160 is one of the most thoughtfully designed dual-mode aircraft in its class — the mode switch is seamless and the aircraft's performance envelope is genuinely impressive in both configurations.
The 1406 brushless motor delivers sufficient power for sustained 3D flight including vertical climbs and hover-adjacent manoeuvres — demanding applications that require motor torque beyond what brushed systems can maintain. The EPP foam construction handles the stress of aerobatic loading better than stiffer foam types, flexing slightly under G-load rather than cracking. At 650mm wingspan, visibility is excellent even at altitude, keeping the aircraft orientable throughout complex manoeuvres.
Who Is This For
Perfect for beginners who want a long-term platform that won't be outgrown quickly. Ideal for intermediate pilots ready to enter the world of 3D aerobatics with a switchable dual-mode aircraft. An excellent gift for any RC aviation enthusiast who wants one aircraft that delivers across multiple skill levels. Great for hobbyists who enjoy teaching others to fly and need a beginner-safe mode alongside their own advanced flying.
Safety & Age Guidance
Recommended for ages 14 and up. 6G mode is beginner-accessible; 3D mode requires established RC skills. Always fly in open areas away from people and obstructions. Follow all local RC aircraft regulations. Battery and charger included.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 6G and 3D mode?
In 6G mode, the gyroscope actively stabilises the aircraft and limits extreme attitudes — ideal for learning. In 3D mode, stabilisation is reduced and full aerobatic range is available including inverted flight and full control authority at all attitudes.
How long does the battery last per flight?
Flight time depends on throttle usage and wind conditions. Typical sessions run 10–15 minutes per charge in mixed throttle use. Spare batteries extend your flying significantly.
