Description
HELION - The Long Range flagship by 2RAW and iFlight
This drone was built to redefine Long Range. In order to meet the rising demands for more range, and more flight time while maintaining enough weight, to have excellent stability in even the windiest of conditions. With a prop size of 10 inches, Helion is not only capable of effectively carrying large (Recommended, 4500mAh Lipo and above) batteries but also ensuring great efficiency with ample power. You will have better dive recovery and more overall control than traditional long-range drones. Its unique aerodynamic shell allows for easy maintenance while protecting the cores of the power train. Helion’s distinct frame design was scientifically optimized to balance stability, weight, and rigidity.
Highlight
Optimised Motors & Propeller
This latest XING motor was optimised between thrust and efficiency. Perfectly tuned to the 10 inch Gemfan propellers.
Aero-Shell
The unique aerodynamic shell allows for easy maintenance while protecting the cores of the power train. Users can simply open and close the shell when working on the drone. The idea was to protect the inside but give people full access when maintenance work is being performed on the drone.
Innovative A-Frame for Maximum Performance
The frame was scientifically optimised and tested over months to find the balance between stability and weight. The A-Frame design minimises vibrations as well as torsion, one of the biggest problems with larger drones.
USB-C Power
A USB-C Plug was added so you can power your action cam when running out of power. This was also built in for potential upcoming new small cameras making Helion more future proof

Right away, this is the best 65mm Whoop I know. Not even close.
I ordered two, one is more or less stock, just the PEEK motor screws and V3 cockroach. The second is upgraded to 0702 27000kV but will go back because I like the 25000kV more because of smoother throttle response and perfect betaflight tune.
Now the but:
1. On both quads I had to replace the BeeEye for a spare one because both are out of focus.
2. the yellow props were way too loose and very brittle. I lost two on my maiden. Black, blue and red are very tight (too tight for such a fragile prop) but if you get them on without bending them, they will last.
3. why does the quad not come with the lighter frame right away?
4. PH2.0…. You know the drill.
On that price point, even after the frame and PEEK upgrade I can forgive these quality issues. Especially considering the great tune and quality FC and motors. But be sure to order a replacement cam and props right away.
This was kind of a late night lark. I'd seen this upgrade for the Mk3 for a while and pondered whether it was a gimmick or not, and I'm pleased to say it's a genuinely good upgrade. It has reduced the noise of my Mk3 considerably. I haven't noted any significant increase in print quality, but the old drone of the bed is gone and that's completely worth it.
