Tron ORION 5.5 550 Class Electric Helicopter Kit (W/O Blades)

Pilot level: Advanced

Meet the Tron Orion, the twin sister to the Gemini in the Tron 5.5 Helicopter series. The Orion offers the same high-performance features, including a fully redesigned frame, enhanced blade grips, and an adjustable tail belt tensioner, but with a distinct style of its own. Designed for pilots who crave precision and power, the Orion combines cutting-edge engineering with a unique aesthetic, making it perfect for those who want a helicopter that stands out in both looks and performance. Whether you're a seasoned flyer or just getting started, the Orion is built to elevate your flying experience.

Discover a fully upgraded helicopter experience with our latest design, featuring a completely new upper and lower frame layout that enhances stability and performance. The redesigned, larger main blade grips and 100% full carbon frames ensure durability and precision. Enjoy smoother flights with the new adjustable tail belt tensioner and enhanced main shaft support, eliminating the need for a third bearing block.

We've made battery management a breeze with a larger CNC aluminum battery tray and a redesigned compartment for easy insertion and removal. The new motor mount design simplifies pinion replacement and maintenance, while CNC frame stiffeners increase support and rigidity. The higher boom mounting position improves the center of gravity, allowing for more agile rolling maneuvers.

With a larger appearance that doesn’t add significant weight, this helicopter features a durable 14mm one-way bearing for reliability, and an 18mm CNC main gear for quiet operation. The redesigned tail fin and boom are now painted for a sleek look, eliminating the need for stickers. Additional space for electronics ensures a perfect fore/aft CG location, and supersonic canopy mounts are included in the kit.

Choose between two distinctive styles, Orion and Gemini, each offering a unique canopy style and lower main frame. Compatible with main blades (550-560mm) and tail blades (85-98mm), the kit also provides 3 different tail gear ratios and 13-17T motor pinions for customization.
