The Name Helios is a tribute to the sun, which is what makes cross-country flights and adventures possible in the first place.
Helios RS is the name of our new C-class lightweight performance glider. With the Helios RS we have addressed the dogma that more performance means a less comfortable flight. With its unique construction, lightweight no longer needs to mean there will be a sharp drop off in performance over time.
