Mohe, Heilongjiang, the northernmost city in China, in a mid-high latitude(52°10′N- 53°33′N) —is known for its cold climate. Under low-temperature conditions, drone lifting operations place higher demands on propulsion system reliability.

The Ruhong Yun 201 UAV, developed by Ruhong Low-Altitude Intelligent Technology, is powered by HOBBYWING’s latest H15MD Plus coaxial integrated propulsion system. Designed to operate in challenging natural environments, the UAV successfully completed a timber lifting mission in Mohe’s snowfields, demonstrating a practical solution for winter forestry operations.
