Flying a MINT Blade 300 CFX in 2022 

So cool to see one of these flying and in mint condition. Many thanks for sharing it here! Best regards from Brasilia, Brazil.

I can't get over how smooth this heli sounds. That right there, is the sound of mechanical perfection.

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.

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.

Just bought one that looks mint. Learning to fly helos, hopefully this will do.

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

You are correct I have had many blade helicopters and are all discontinued

What happens if you are flying the Nano S3 inverted and you press the panic button?

i just got the 250 cfx which is the same frame and motor its realy good ,i got wrid of the 300 x it wasnt very well balanced but it was not a bad heli

I changed mine with savox

What model receiver does it have?

It's 10 years old . What do you expect ! I don't know too many helis that have parts support 10 years later.
