Still flying my 300 CFX. Bought it when it was first introduced - at one point had three. Sold two - one with well over 1400 flights on it. Learned a lot of 3D on it. Got rid of stock electronics pretty early - stock motor doesn't last long, and the stock cyclic servos don't hold up to 3D in terms of longevity. Stock ESC doesn't have governor. I run Lynx 3S LX8005 motor, YEP 40A ESC (clone of YGE), JR DS287MG cyclic servos, and BK DS-3005 HV tail servo. Have run all the way up to MKS DS95i tail servo. Try Lynx Delrin head dampers to stiffen the blade grips significantly. Also own Blade 270 CFX and had 360 CFX. 360 CFX was Blade's greatest bird 450-stretch or smaller, with the 270 and 300 not far behind. Put over 700 flights on the 360 CFX, having to only replace motor twice and head dampers. 270 CFX excellent reliability too except the motor. Blade cheaped out on the bearings in that motor - I'm lucky if I get over 200 flights before it starts rattling. Running KST DS215MG cyclics on the 270 and stock H3060/H3065 tail servo. 300 CFX fantastic bird to learn with - shame they discontinued it. Yeah, my Oxy 3 probably flies better than the 270 and 300, but it's a more expensive bird all round. BTW, the AR7210BX does have rescue - it's an optional firmware update from BeastX. The AR7210BX for the 270 had rescue, but fun fact - to hit the price point, Blade and BeastX came to agreement with locked-down firmware - not all BeastX configuration options are available. They wanted the AR7210BX to stay with the 270 - you would have to download stock FW to use it on other helicopter, but lose rescue in the process unless you paid extra for it. That didn't go over too well when users learned that. Still, BeastX better than any of the garbage FBLs Blade uses now.
@@mangzrc Be careful if you ever get a Fusion 270 with the Blade FBL - tip-over on spin-up is a common issue. Likely due to firmware bug coupled with the narrow landing skids.
i had such helicopter with all full metallupgrades, inclusive MKS DS 95 Servos. for me one of best helicopters ever, with the ar 7210 BX FBL from CFX 270...absolut mechanical and technical perfection. love this. why dont offer Blade such Helicopters again.
Great flight for a old heli I bought this heli a long while ago when they first came out I’ve swapped out the standard servos for some hitec MS METAL GEAR SRVOS
u might be able to use the 250 cfx head which is the same as a 230 s if u hav to to get feathering shafts its plastic but works fine on the 250 and yes the 300 x is tail heavy
@@mangzrc Yeah I hear a lot of things too . Don't mean they are true . No company is just going to keep making parts for outdated tech . This makes no business sense. I dont care how good the product is .
