Helios-45 Sport/Trainer Jet

Helios-45 Sport/Trainer Jet

Are you ready to step up your turbine game? We are thrilled to introduce theHelios-45 to the GlobalJet.Club fleet! Designed specifically for 45-size turbines, this is the sport jet that changes everything.

While the market is flooded with foam jets, the Helios-45 brings back the precision and durability oftraditional balsa and ply construction. It flies like a pattern ship, handles wind effortlessly (as seen in the video!), and refuses to tip-stall even at crawl speeds.

Why choose the Helios-45 over a foam jet?

✅All-Wood Construction: stiffer and more precise than foam, giving you a locked-in feel in the air.

✅Easy to Repair: Had a bump? Wood is straightforward to patch and re-cover, unlike foam which is often a "write-off" after a crash.

✅Ultra-Lightweight: Weighing in at just ~4.5kg (dry), it offers incredible thrust-to-weight performance.

✅Better Value: Enjoy a premium, composite-class flying experience at a much lower cost.

Whether this is your first turbine or your everyday sport flyer, the Helios-45 is the smart choice for pilots who want performance without the price tag.
