    I'm loving the 300CFX. Mine did suffer the same eflite motor problem as many, but I've just sent it (the motor) off to HH. Hoping/expecting to see a new one any day now. I've taken the CF blades off and replaced with plastic Fusuno ones. Basically because I want it to be a larger/reliable 130X replacement

    And in that, it's great. It's had two crashes so far. One was full chat against a fairly hard playing field. It bounced a good few feet and ejected the LIPO! The main frame is A BRICK! - not a scratch on it! So not only does it not flex like the original - it can take a crash too! Plastic blades survived also!

    My second crash was much lighter and I was flying above fairly long grass. It just flopped into the grass, I picked it up and went flying again!

    It does have the DS76 servos though, but like I say, I've never had a problem with them TBH.

    There's actually three of them now at our club - and everyone seems pleased with them. We took a vid of Ross flying Rich's the other day ... you can see the evidence here..

    Hmmm,
    I can see your thinking as a 130x replacement, certainly flys well does it not!
    Do the Fusuno blades make any difference to the feel? Also does it have auto hub? (not that it matters really)

      As far as I can tell, the Fusuno blades make no difference in feel against the CF blades.

      No - no auto hub, but then I don't think a OWB would be useful on this heli. It can't auto (too small), and having the motor take energy out of the blades if/when you hit TH in anger can only be a good thing in my view!

        Thank you for the insight Tom, good news on the blades if I get one!
        Hmmm, a case perhaps for setting the esc to brake then?
        Cheers
