I am in the middle of upgrading it. I put the Blade brand Aluminum Main Grips, and carbons do not fit it. So, it has not seen the air as of yet. Tomorrow I plan on figuring out whats the deal with the grips, and build a new tail section. Will update as soon as I can.

Sadly, I replaced it.
The aileron servo quit in flight last week. I had purchased another X300one as a full set of spares and a AR7200BX. All of the cyclic servos are stripped from the crack up (which was not too hard-I almost got it down smoothly-it certainly performs in an interesting manner with one servo not moving). It hit fairly flat, on the main gear, but the CF blades found an opportune moment to strike the boom. The main shaft also broke where the lower bolt goes through the gear. The frames, boom, and everything else is in tact. So now the spare one is the flying one and the flying one is now the spare one. In test hovers, the new one seems to fly just as good as the old one did, which is nice.

Actually, not very hard at all.
I had been doing 3D, and it started to act a bit strange (periodically rolling in a jerky fashion when collective was given as the aileron servo went in and out) so I attempted to bring it in for a landing, immediately. I had it coming down, fairly flat, but could not control the rate of decent for the last two feet from the ground. The frames, boom, canopy, landing gear, etc. is unscathed. The shaft broke where the bolt goes through (where people have been having the shaft break), so this is not unusual. It was less trouble to set up the new one than it would have been to start swapping servos from the new one to the old one.

More servo wows here.
Tail servo (align 425m) died mid flight. It flew into a tree... TH on... threw a pitch link and had a blade strike the tail boom. New boom, feathering shaft, pitch link, tail servo. Looks like its electronics died.... its not burnt but it doesn't work any more, gets hot and causes the other servos to act weird.

That is great!! I feel if I had that much space to fly I would feel more comfortable and relaxed.
How high he take it? I guess you were a ways back but I would be surprised if he had a good sight on it the whole time. Depending on how I feel in the morning I may take her out for a fly around, hopefully more than half a pack this time. Just some casual fly bys. I think I am getting too cocky with my abilities to fly and need to tame them a little until I am one with the Heli |

Today I picked mine up from the doorstep, brought it inside and opened her up.

Fantastic, welcome to the club! She flies like a dream and mine has bounced on grass a couple of times with low cost of repairs!! Can't beat that, flies great and forgiving and she turns awesome too......,,,

Flew three packs today, this thing is performing great. Relocated the Beastx recently to the "top shelf", went thru the beastx, and replaced the tail blades to remedy a cracked blade.
As I'm still getting used to bigger birds, having come from the 130x, flew mostly slow/fast circuits. Don't have the courage to flip or roll it yet. Was flying it near and over the house as I'm too lazy to go to the park. Love the way it needs so little input to scoot along, I had to put some d/r in to keep from over correcting, which was the cause of the one time I've crashed it so far. Ordered a lynx frame stiffener as well.

Flew 6 packs through mine today...tons of flips, rolls, loops, FFF, big sky...
I finally got it dialed in after going to the YEP45a and Wicked motor. I really like flying her with tight control. If I remember right: I have it semi-governed at around 95 flat. Pitch travel at +-115, Throttle travel at +-110, +-13.5* pitch w/ Gaui blades. D/R at 100% with 10% expo Ail/Elv & 100% with -15 expo Tail. BX pot A @ 11 (o'clock), pot B @ 11:30 (o'clock). I've been flying for just over a year now and am just now realizing how important it is to REALLY EXPERIMENT and try new combos til it just sit right for your personal taste. I almost sold my mild BL Nano, but after also dialing that in today, decided to keep it Man...this hobby can do a number on your head...time...friends/family....wallet |
