Since its launch, the soXos Strike 7.1 has earned a reputation as a robust and reliable machine for 3D pilots. Designed to handle extreme power setups, this model has become a favorite among hardcore heli enthusiasts. However, many pilots also prefer a lighter setup with a 6S powertrain - and for them, we proudly introduce the all-new soXos Strike 7.1 Light.
Through extensive redesign and weight optimization, we’ve reduced the takeoff weight - including battery - to under 4 kg. This remarkably low weight for a 700-class helicopter allows the Strike 7.1 Light to fly at significantly lower head speeds, offering pilots a completely new experience: smoother, more relaxed, and ultra-precise flight characteristics.
But don’t be mistaken—this model is not just for casual cruising! It retains full 3D maneuverability, just with a more controlled and effortless feel. Whether you’re looking for the perfect heli for laid-back sunset flights or seeking a lighter, more efficient alternative without the need for large, expensive batteries and heavy-duty charging equipment, the Strike 7.1 Light is the ideal solution.
Key Differences from the Standard Strike 7.1:
- 10mm main shaft and 8mm spindle shaft for optimal weight reduction
- Redesigned rotor head center piece & blade grips (maintaining 14mm fork width and 5mm hole)
- Optimized intermediate transmission with a lightweight one-way bearing
- Aluminum motor pinion for reduced weight
- Lighter, CNC-milled carbon fiber side frames
- Smaller, lightweight fiberglass canopy
While these modifications make the Strike 7.1 Light a distinct model, it still retains the core DNA of its powerful sibling. The entire tail assembly remains unchanged from the standard Strike 7.1, ensuring the same high-performance tail response that extreme pilots love. Additionally, the large number of shared components makes spare part management easy—especially for those who already own a Strike 7.1.
With its perfect balance of agility, efficiency, and precision, the soXos Strike 7.1 Light redefines what’s possible in the 700-class category. Get ready for a whole new level of flying enjoyment!
