WLtoys K170 UH-60L 4CH RC Helicopter with 6-Axis Gyro

The WLtoys K170 UH-60L RC Helicopter is a ready-to-fly 4-channel electric RC helicopter inspired by the UH-60L military helicopter. Designed with a detailed military-green appearance, four-blade rotor configuration and integrated LED lighting, the K170 combines scale-inspired styling with an easy-to-control flight system.

A 6-axis gyroscope and altitude-hold function help provide a more stable flying experience, while the 4-channel control system allows the helicopter to move forward, backward, left, right, up, down and sideways. With a brushless main motor, 2.4GHz radio control and a control distance of approximately 80–100 meters, the WLtoys K170 is designed for RC enthusiasts looking for a compact helicopter with realistic styling and straightforward controls.

Key Features of the WLtoys K170

• UH-60L-inspired design: Features a military-green appearance and a scale-inspired four-blade rotor configuration.

• 4-channel control: Supports throttle, forward and backward movement, turning and lateral flight.

• 6-axis gyroscope: Helps stabilize the helicopter during flight and makes control more manageable.

• Altitude-hold function: Helps maintain a consistent flying height during operation.

• Brushless main motor: Uses a 1106 11200KV brushless main motor for efficient and responsive power.

• 2.4GHz remote control: Provides wireless control with an advertised range of approximately 80–100 meters.

• Ready-to-fly package: The package includes the helicopter, transmitter, battery, charger and additional accessories.

• Signal-loss protection: The helicopter is designed to maintain altitude briefly after loss of control signal before beginning a controlled descent.

Realistic UH-60L-Inspired Design

The WLtoys K170 takes design inspiration from the UH-60L helicopter and features a military-green finish with a compact scale-inspired fuselage. The detailed body design gives the model a distinctive appearance while keeping its overall size suitable for convenient handling and storage.

The helicopter uses a four-blade rotor system without a traditional flybar. According to the supplied specifications, the rotor blades are designed around aerodynamic principles to provide efficient lift and help maintain stability during flight.

With a rotor diameter of approximately 260mm, a fuselage length of around 265mm and a height of approximately 72mm, the K170 offers a compact format while retaining the visual characteristics associated with a larger military helicopter.

4-Channel Control and 6-Axis Gyro

The WLtoys K170 uses a 4-channel 2.4GHz remote control system. The controls allow the helicopter to rise and descend, move forward and backward, turn left and right, and perform lateral movement.

A 6-axis gyroscope assists with flight stabilization. The supplied information also specifies an altitude-hold function, which is designed to help maintain a more consistent height during flight.

The transmitter includes one-key takeoff and landing functions, making basic operation more straightforward. The control system also supports switching between left- and right-hand operation.

The K170 is supplied in MODE2 configuration and uses three AAA batteries for the transmitter.

Brushless Motor and Flight Performance

The helicopter is equipped with a 1106 11200KV brushless main motor and a 720 hollow-cup tail motor. The brushless main motor provides the power required for the four-blade rotor system while the tail motor assists with directional control.

The supplied product specifications indicate a flight time of approximately 8 minutes, while charging takes approximately 120 minutes. Actual flight time can vary depending on flying conditions, battery condition and operating style.

The manufacturer information also describes a signal-loss and crash-prevention function. If the helicopter loses the remote-control signal, the system is designed to maintain its current altitude briefly and then gradually descend, providing an additional recovery feature during operation.

2.4GHz Remote Control

The WLtoys K170 includes a 2.4GHz remote controller with an advertised control distance of approximately 80–100 meters.

The transmitter uses an independent positioning rocker mechanism designed to provide accurate stick centering and a more precise control feel. The system also includes low-voltage warnings for the helicopter and remote controller.

The 4-channel control layout gives pilots access to the primary flight movements while keeping the control system relatively straightforward.

Battery and Charging

The K170 is powered by a rechargeable lithium battery and includes a dedicated USB charger. The supplied specifications list a 3.7V charging voltage and approximately 120 minutes of charging time.

The product information contains different battery-capacity specifications, so the exact supplied capacity should be confirmed against the selected product variant before purchase.

For safe operation, use the supplied charger and follow the charging and battery instructions included with the helicopter.
