Ivan Pettigrew's Helio Courier is an oversize indoor slow flyer, that can also be flown outside in calm conditions. His original model was powered with a geared GWS A motor, and now has a tiny brushless which will fly it nearly an hour on a small 2C LiPo packs. The full scale Helio offers exceptional performance from unprepared rough terrain or on floats, making it popular with military and civilian bush pilots alike.
