700X discontinued on blade website
Blade Helis is no longer a helicopter manufacturer, they now make drones and quads. And a few micro toys. It sucks, but I guess that's where the money is. They bit off way too much and extended themselves too far money-wise with the Pro series line. They had too much money invested producing the 500, 550, 600, 700...they could not recover enough income fast enough from sales and they had far too many production issues. They just couldn't afford it. Had they tried to make one model and get it off the ground (pun intended) and then come out with the next, say 1 a year, they probably could've made it work. At least they tried. Maybe they will try again with better knowledge and experience. And the 700x is still a good platform, I think we will see more like it in the future, if not from Blade, from somebody. I hope.
