XK Manuals & User Guides

XK, often operating under the name XK Innovations, is a prominent manufacturer of radio-controlled (RC) hobby products. The brand is well-regarded for its sophisticated electric helicopters and scale fixed-wing aircraft, which feature advanced flight control technology.

XK models typically utilize a dual-mode system allowing pilots to switch between 6-axis gyro stability (6G) for beginners and 3D mode for performing aerobatic stunts. This versatility makes their products, such as the K-series helicopters and A-series airplanes, popular among both novice and experienced pilots. Additionally, the brand name is sometimes associated with heavy-duty automotive garage equipment, such as car lifts, in certain markets.

• How do I bind my XK transmitter to the helicopter?

  Generally, power on the transmitter first, then connect the battery to the helicopter. Ensure the throttle stick is at the bottom. If re-binding is necessary, press the bind button on the receiver board until the LED stops flashing and turns solid.

• What is the difference between 3D and 6G modes on XK aircraft?

  6G mode uses a 6-axis gyroscope to provide self-stabilization, making the aircraft fly smoothly and limiting the bank angle, which is ideal for beginners. 3D mode disables the self-leveling feature and allows for full aerobatic maneuvers like rolls, loops, and inverted flight.

• Why is my XK helicopter drifting?

  Drifting can be caused by uncalibrated gyroscopes or improper trim settings. Place the helicopter on a level surface and perform a gyroscope calibration (often done by holding sticks in a specific position). Ensure mechanical linkages are level and trims are centered before flight.

• Can I use a Futaba transmitter with XK models?

  Many XK models use the S-FHSS communication protocol, making them compatible with S-FHSS capable Futaba transmitters. Check your specific model's manual to confirm protocol compatibility.
