The hidden linkages ensure aerodynamic efficiency while also contributing to its sleek design. This model is also equipped with landing rails made out of push rods that will allow you to land on asphalt or any kind of rough terrain without any issue. Furthermore it is equipped with LEDs, making for eye-catching footage in your videos. Whether it’s taking to the skies or simply on display, the Helix combines truly unparalleled form and function.
You guys are making some beautiful designs... 😍
Thanks so much. Glad to hear you like it ;)
Eclipson designs just get better and better. Really like the construction techniques used. Lwpla is brilliant to glass over to make it even tougher
Printing the recently updated files for this right now. Loving the way this looks! 💖
A very nice design. Impressed with the many aspects of aileron design and integration, including servo installation. It's inspiring that Eclipson is finding new ways to improve the designs.
Thanks so much, we are always thinking how to improve the quality of the design.
Amazing.. will buy it as soon as I get home. Even though I crash every plane I build, it is worth it.
Print, build, fly and crash, the whole process is fun. 😉
Been waiting weeks to buy this model... Cant wait to get it !!
Bought mine already! On the printer it goes!
Thanks! I hope you have fun
This is the absolute best 3d printed fpv forward swept plane available. Anyone who is having issues printing lw_pla cleanly should consider this. It's all designed beautifully, to be printed in vase mode. No retractions, no BS. Comes out PERFECT. No Bambu Lab printer neccesary. However, on my P1S I can print off the back half of the fuse in just over 2 hours. Insane. I will likely only be purchasing plane files from this company from here on out.
Really struggling with this build... My wings come out all floppy... no top layers are recommended and this is where I get all my issues. Nothing connects together. I use a ratrig vcore 3.1 but i'm using the slower recommended speeds. I can't use the recommended cura version because it has a bug the vase mode that only appears on my ratrig. I'm literally about to give up.
Loved the Aileron linkages....very nice....👍😳😳😳😳😳😏😏🇬🇧
That's a cool wing!
I noticed we didn't see it land... These fly once airplanes look great, but wow are they a lot of work
Great video ! Great design - have just ordered files from you - thanks for sharing this great little pocket rocket which I intend using for fpv / camera work !
Kind Regards . . . Eddie.
Having trouble with lite PLA can I use another material
damn its a better Gremlin. I GOTTA BUY ALL THESE FUCK
Which motor/ESC did you use? I attempted to try the recommended FliteTest 1050kv (Powerpack B) - dramatically under powered. Using 5x5 prop
We have a recommended power pack on our website!
I'm printing one of these at the moment. How will it fly without a flight controller? I have only ever flown quite slow foam planes or race drones before this, so I'm not super confident at planes.
It flies just fine without a controller. However, this is a fast flying model. For your first Eclipson model, it may be a bit too fast for you. We recommend one of our trainer planes.

It's beautiful, but how does it land without risking being destroyed?
The skid allows for a wire to be bent and inserted to increase ground clearance
@@eclipsonairplanes Very elegant.
Excelente projeto, Parabéns
Please make an EDF variant for LOS fun without the pesky pusher prop noise, and I'll buy one
Edfs are louder than pusher props.
@@TheRattleSnake3145the volume isn't the problem. It's beehive noise vs induction noise
Can the new aircraft be released in PLA version? We use ABS to print. PLA LW will deform if we put it in the car
Hey, I just bought this design today. However I found a design inconsistency regarding the fuselage options, the landing rail mounts are not present on the analogue fuselage option. Can you please fix this? Another question regarding the landing gears is that how do you mount them? I see how they fit into the hull, but I don't know the purpose of those holes and also why it fits perfectly flush into the fuselage, is it made to be retractable by chance?
Hello. You are right, we will update that in F1 analogue. About the landing gear, in our drawing you can see how to install the steel rods.
Thanks, started building it.
Took me some time to find the LED strip. I didn't see it on the suggested part list on Eclipson web page of the Helix. Seems to me that MATEKSYS ARM Light LED 2812 8-LEDs (57×8 mm) fits.
Also it's not very clear what the "Fuselage_F1_Analogue" is versus the "Fuselage_F1". From the looks of it the "Fuselage_F1_Analogue" has an antenna opening way further back, but it's not very clear about the constraint to choose the version to print.
It depends on your step up. You can put the antenna forward (HD systems usually) or rear (analogue antennas usually) But you can always extend the cable to place the antenna where you want.
Also noticed that the landing rail (missing in the video) is also only in the non-analogue version (probably due to CG).
@@WernerBeroux I believe Eclipson has said that this was an oversight and will be rectified.
What about the bottom stabilizers on a "rough" landing? It's the only "but" I see.
Also, on the web it says to be built only with lw-pla. Have you tried with normal pla?
Will buy probably 🎉
Cheers!
In the video is not shown because it was a late improvement (You can see it in the drawing). In the bottom of the stabilizers and in the nose there are holes to insert push rods. That helps to reduce the force of the impact and allow you to land on asphalt or any other tough terrain, during our tests we did not have any issue.
@@eclipsonairplanes much better! What about plain pla? ☺️
Thank you!
@@Pijuli It is heavier therefore faster, LW-PLA is the best option according to our experience.
@@eclipsonairplanes I have such a question maybe silly, is there any model in your hanger can achieve 35mah/km efficiency with a relatively higher cruise speed, let's say 100kph? I'm new to printed aircraft, trying to find something fly fast and effective with a size not too big, appreciated if any suggestion.❤
Love your designs. Enough so I’m buying a printer. Which Ender would you recommend to print your planes?
Any ender 3 will work fine.

I've had good luck building 4 Eclipson models plus another designers model on my Ender 3's. To anyone interested I loaded a LW-PLA profile after watching Troy McMillan here on UA-cam. Just keep in mind that this Helix is printed in vase mode and there are a few other things to adjust with the newest Cura and those can be found on the FAQ's within Eclipson site.
This is nice, but it has too many parts. One of the main reasons that I'm interested in 3D printed planes is that they could potentially require a lot less work to put together than even a foam board plane. I've built a few planes, but I haven't learned to get very good at flying them yet and always end up crashing them pretty quickly. I like the process of building them, but all the same it's still disappointing when you put a lot of time into putting one together, only to have to destroyed without getting much flight time out of it. I realize that there are more limitations with LW-PLA, but still I haven't yet seen a design for a 3D printed plane that has few parts and is quick to assemble (I mean something that you could put together really quickly.)
Would have been better to edit it without flicking between shots every 2 sec so we could get a proper look at what is happening.
You can just stop the video if you want to see something more time ;)
@@eclipsonairplanes can't see what you are gluing if it's paused.
hi!!! can I print it completely in Pla? Here the LW-PLA is super expensive and I can't afford it in any way
You can´t because will be too heavy. LW-PLA Is not expensive, you should take into account that you have to use only 50% of the material used with regular PLA
@@eclipsonairplanes I understand, thanks for the answer, could you recommend a lightweight model that is only with PLA? I want to use it with a 2212 motor
@@agussp6731 We have many options. You can check in our website the models that can be printed with PLA.
Hi what's the max speed with motors 2500kv ?
Will you also design helicopter? Would like to fly a Hughes 500 or the „Airwolf“. Or do you know a company who sells models for self printing?
Helicopter are a bit complex and expensive because they required a FC well tuned to fly it, but we do not discard that option.
Too bad the FAA is killing the hobby and most of us won't have the opportunity to (legally) fly this beautifully engineered model.
Who cares?
Glad to see people on the other side of this planet also facing all those laws meant to be broken.
How are they killing it? Remote ID?
What LED strips are those? It is not mentioned in the video.
8 mm wide strips are fine.
What flight controller used? The flight pack suggester uses a different motor than one said to use on the page of items needed? What have you folks tested feel is best all around?
We even fly without FC, any FC for wing will work. The motor that you see in this video is a bit expensive (T-Motor F60 Pro V 1950KV ) therefore we are recommending another cheaper option that works also very fine. You can also use the Sunnysky x2212, a bit heavier for this model but that motor can be used in 90% of our models.
@@eclipsonairplanes Can you make/design a FC Mount for the Helix?
@@123Klassik We would recommend you to just use double tape to fix the FC.
What is the diameter of the carbon tube/rod for the elevons?
-CF ROD - D3 (Length 210mm) 2units
Beautiful!!!
No fc or esc install?
Thanks!. You can install it if you want, but is not mandatory to fly the plane.
@@eclipsonairplanes that’s really cool ! I’ve been flying RC planes and never seen one that you just install motor and it’s ready to go. Most have a an esc..
Which video system did you use?
Caddex vista
Are you able to land without breaking?
That is the objetive always.
Can you please make sub 250 gram, planes like this 🙏
