review date: April 20, 2013

summary:

single rotor flybarless CP heli with 3 axis gyro.
brushless main motor, belt driven tail.
11.1V1300mAh battery.
2.4GHz system, Spektrum DSM2/DSMX compatible.

strengths:

bigger than 130X. better for outdoor flight in windy conditions.
very stable, easy to hover, easy to cruise around, easy to flip and easy to hover inverted.
The AR7200BX integrated with BEAST-X is really great.

weaknesses:

The stock servos are not so good. At least, any better tail servo is higly recommended.
The stock wooden main blades are not so good. Carbon blades are recommended.

recommended mods:

I purchased this heli in July 2012. Then I flew her many times and crashed several times. Now my 300X is equipped with the following.

-Microheli Precision CNC Aluminum Main Rotor Hub w/ Button - BLADE 300X (MH-300X001)
-Microheli Carbon Fiber Main Blades - BLADE 300X (MH-300X003)
-Lynx 300 X - Frame Plate Stiffener (LX0318)
-Hitec HS-5065MG servo for cyclic
-MKS DS95i servo for tail

Now my 300X is very very solid, stable yet responsive. She is much quieter than the stock also.
