LY200: 200 kg Class Heavy Payload Drone
The LY200 is the widest model in the range — two airframe options on the same 220 kg payload ceiling. The 4-axis version is the compact hauler; the 8-axis version is the stability play.

Two airframes, one payload ceiling
Most buyers assume the 8-axis version is strictly better. It is not. The 4-axis LY200 occupies roughly half the transport footprint, folds into a smaller vehicle slot, and costs less to ship and insure — at the same 220 kg tested ceiling.
The 8-axis LY200-H13/X13 trades that portability for rotor redundancy and a calmer hover in gusty conditions. It uses H13 or X13 propulsion drawn from manned-platform motor families, which is why it holds attitude so well in crosswind.
If your site has vehicle access and moderate wind, take the 4-axis. If you are lifting over people, structures or ridgelines, take the 8-axis.
