I don't know the layout of the 270, but guessing if it will work no problem with a 180cfx, the 270 should be easy.

I have one on a 450X. You will need servo adapter cables or make/solder things as the plugs on the micro FBL are different.

Yeah, I would tend to lean toward the full size model if you have the room and avoid the extensions.

The connectors on the micro-Ikon or micro-Brain make it a real pain for anything that doesn't use those connectors originally (like the 180 CFX). Unless you got the controller for free, I'd just get the next size up, mini-Brain2 or mini-Ikon2. It's the same thing but with the standard JR servo connectors like the AR7210BX controller the heli comes with. Also the micro only has one satellite receiver port so it won't work for bigger helis that need two satellites.

Note the pinout is different for the small connectors. Those have the negative terminal center instead of the positive terminal. If for whatever reason you must use the micro, you will need an adapter for the servos and ESC (BEC). It will work just like the bigger versions other than that. They all use the same configuration software.
