Is 350QX3 Discontinued?

[norstaroption]

I just purchased a used one this morning.

[BrokeDad]

Yes but don't worry. Parts will be around for a long time. Blade/HH discontinues stuff all the time. I saw that sale. It was a good deal. I just bought a 360CFX and it's been discontinued and replaced with the Trio 3 blade version of it.

great thanks for the quick response. Just need something to fly around the park when my nano qx is too small. I hope I did ok with the price.

You'll love it. Even though its discontinued, it does have good parts support. Even years after a product is EOL'd the parts are still around for at least 3 with HH products it seems.

Side note: Blade/HH is ALSO discontinuing the successor as well, the Chroma as well on clearance sale for ~$314 which has only been out for a year.

SO Chroma is going out to?

They are going to make only now FPV crazyness?

Or is going to come a new QX350?


I like the idea of having a quad to flight with my eyes with relaxed scale flights....Qx350 is the answer...and if i want i can stick a action cam in there...If i want... mostly won't! Just relaxed flights with a quad!

The 350 QX was discontinued 9/29/2015. The Chroma is also out of production now. Grab one of the last ones HH Black Friday http://www.horizonhobby.com/storefro...drone-specials

Not is, has. Chroma has been discontinued since middle of the summer, they've just been selling off the remaining units they can. The least popular DX4 + Chroma BNF combo / one with gimbal are all that's left. It's dead.

There will be no more Horizon AP quads like 350qx3 or Chroma.

Your replacement... is the Yuneec Breeze.

That's it folks. Horizon has left the building on this market pretty much, leaving it to DJI and Yuneec, and is more focused on FPV now.

I just want to find a qx350 to be able to fly it. Just don't care for gps and all those lalaland's that came of to RC.

Will i better find a qx, qx2 or qx3 for that matter?

I just want scale relaxed flight's with it...and flying with my eyes.
Don't care for droping a action cam in there, maybe one time but that's it.

And i do not want an FPV quad. It's like the crazy 3D from tv's a few years back that even today for what i know, nobody cares for it but brands are still selling the 3D thing! lol

FPV is not for me...to much gear and google makes me feel a retarded...but that's me. Nothing agaisn't...i could even like it if experience...but i just want to fly with my eyes and relaxed flights...not 3D stunts!

Is it a valid choice to buy a qx350 for that?

I understand they are not made anyomore...but i can and know still find new ones on shops...
Don't care if it's old tech... 2014? lol. If it fly's well that's what i want!

If you just want to fly for sport and can get it for the right price, I guess you can. Is it the best choice? In my opinion, absolutely not. The important thing to consider when buying *any* drone or rc product is not just what you paid for it, but also the cost for maintenance and parts availability.

What can you buy a 350QX3 for in your country for right now brand new? If it's any more than $200USD for a bind-and-fly version then I would tell you not to bother. For $200USD or less you can pick up some cheap FPV race/sport quads, with strong frames and better build quality. Standardized parts that will be cheaper and easier to get.

Just think about it -- even if a quad comes with FPV it doesn't mean you have to use it at all. I regularly fly my Vortex 250 Pro line-of-sight for fun, just like I did my QX.

Hi - I have a used 350qx3 and I would like to know how to tell what firmware version I have. Also do I have to do the switch flip 4 times to get stability and agility modes. Any help is appreciated.

[4_Props]

Yes, if you have a QX3 then you are on V3 of the FW. Depending on which radio you have you may have to do the odd switch flipping for flight modes.

Thanks for the info 4-props.

My 350QX3 gets regular use.

Love the thing. 100's of flight hours.

Still a great Quad !
