WL TOYS A170 Explorer

Description

Take to the skies with the A170 Explorer, a 4-channel fixed-wing RC airplane built to help new pilots learn, while still offering engaging flight modes for more experienced users.

Key Features

• 3D/6G Stabilisation System: Switchable flight modes let you fly in the easier 6G auto-level mode for stability, then move to 3D mode when youre ready for more pilot control and manoeuvres.

• Brushless Motor & EPO Construction: The A170 uses efficient dual brushless motors and a lightweight EPO foam + plastic fuselage for durability and performance.

• Good Size & Flight Envelope: With a wingspan of approx 660 mm and length of 640 mm, its large enough to fly outdoors in moderate space while still manageable.

• Stable Flight Features for Beginners: The 6-axis gyroscope and mode switching make it easier to keep level flight, and the one-key mode tools help build confidence.

Typical Specifications

• Wingspan: ~660 mm; Length: ~640 mm

• Weight (with battery): ~270 g

• Remote Control Distance: ~200 m (in unobstructed conditions)

• Flight Time: Approx ~8 minutes of gliding flight under ideal conditions

• Construction: EPO + plastics with dual 1109 brushless motors (depending on variant)

Why Youll Like It

• Accessible to New Pilots: The stabilisation modes help you learn without feeling overwhelmed.

• Growth Potential: Once comfortable, you can switch into more advanced mode for more fun and control.

• Outdoor Fun: Its size, motors and materials make it suitable for casual outdoor flying in open space.

• Good Value: The mix of stability systems, brushless motors and moderate size gives strong features for the price point.

Things to Consider

• Flight time is limited (around 8 minutes) consider having spare batteries if you fly often.

• Because its lightweight (~270 g) it will be affected by wind more than heavier models choose calmer conditions.

• Real control range and performance will depend on environment: obstacles, interference, wind will reduce effective range and flight behaviour.

• As with many RC models, spare parts and support might be more limited compared to top premium brands.

• Youll need a clear outdoor area for safe take-off and landing; indoor space is likely too constrained for this size.
