As of now.......either way, I'm getting one of them. Just which one?

With thanks to Hamish Scott and Modelflight.com.au Thrillseeker Productions brings you a close up look at the new Blade 300X being "Thrashed" indoors I got Hamish putting the 300X through it's paces indoors and after hitting the deck a few times, he literally cleans the floor with this heli man these things are durable and can this bloke fly Hamish is a great pilot and really puts this little beauty through it's paces hitting the ground a few times and just flying on like nothing happened! as your see in the video.
I reckon this heli is going to leave the shop shelf's quickly, thats for sure
Now this thing flies fast, is small and was hard to follow, i think i captured it the best my ol 56yr old body could, as always full screen HD is the best to view this heli in, anyway sit back and enjoy

cheers chuck

Nice video Chuck. Did you post a 130 X video somewhere too?

Here it is mid-April and with the original release date for the 300 X we all should be flying or anticipating the arrival of our new helis. It's gonna be a LONG two months until the new release date of mid-June

I can see the enthusiasm for this thread has "wayned" and the activity has dropped but take heart..we can speculate on all sorts of issues. Oh by the way, thanks to "ChuckTseeker" for the great videos. We can see what this heli can do....got me all charged up again....but of course I'll never be able to fly like H. Scott, impressive for sure!

With the release of the 130 X I may have to have them all...mCPx, 130 X, 300 X, 450 X, 500 X...... .

Regards,
J.

yes if you look in my channel there are 5 videos of Hamish flying helis
1 flying the 450X outdoors
1 the 300X outdoors
1 the 300X indoors
1 the 130X indoors
and lastly there is a beauty of him flying the 450 3D indoors and again in this one he hits the blades on the ground during a manoeuvrer and just flys on like nothing happened
This footage is in the "Indoors Fliers on Parade" video

cheers chuck

I don't think no news is good news applies here!

Patience lost......I got the 450x! Man this thing is awesome. I might still have to get the 130x for indoors. 2 months in flying helis, and this thing is comfortable for me doing loops, rolls and inverted flight! Great job to E-Flite making the Blade X series!

+1.

Here is something a little different from the Thrillseeker Studios, I Caught a few of the young pilots flying at our local indoors session last trip there. Watching the looks on these kids faces as they fly their machines is priceless. These kids are the future of our hobby and should be encouraged all the way. I hope you enjoy seeing these Pilots Of The Future, enjoying this hobby to the max! please share this video and encourage your kids, grand kids to get into this great pastime, this video has them flying helicopters and planes, so please enjoy and share with your friends

cheers chuck

How fast do those hypo seven hundreds get going anyhow?
When the little sr120 bumps your leg it stings a bit.

Not true...

A person was killed at my local flying field in 2003.

No doubt about it these helis are dangerous. I wear safety glasses when I'm flying anything over 100 size. And I don't want anyone near the heli where it might hit them.

Does anyone know what battery connector the 300 X uses....I forgot to look at the Toledo Show...
