thanks to all who responded to my issues w/ the last 2 of my ill- fated 300X heli- failures
I'm cautiously optimistic to post, that after the installation of an align 250 tail case, lynx tail blades, rendering w/ copious double- side parma servo tape per re- installing the AR7200 to the TOP & behind the rotor head, + a number of 'on the fly' adjustments with my DX6i-- this 3rd & hopefully the last 300X I have bought & flown, is stable, & flys like it should-- I think, I hope. every time I fly it I feel like some kind of 'heli- voodoo' will occur so I'm not nearly out of the turbulence yet; least psychologically
the reason I bought it is because I often have very limited airspace, & @ times, outdoors, of course u gotta have something much more aggressive & powerful than a coax, or a micro cp. I tried the SR a number of times -- I think that bird is crap-- (trust me I have my reasons) so once I got a 450X, I thought -- hey-- this 300X has the beastX, so it will likely be a copy of the 450X, only smaller
wow-- WRONG!!
only by the graces of some very smart fellow rc-ers out here, good luck, enuf money to get thru it & still fly, & finally have it mostly figured out -- there u have it
I strongly suggest unless u are willing to take the probable risk of a bad crash right out the box, or, u buy the replacement align tail kit & flip the beastX up top-- you will suffer similar fate as I did-- tons of frustration, no help from the company that makes & sells it-- you will literally be flying blind, even if you have perfect 20/20, or just had lasik ~
fyi ~
also just a quick question about the motor of the 300X.. after flights, is it normal for the engine to feel 'tight' when you spin the blades, after unplugging the battery? I'd like to tihink this is because of magnets-- tho I never felt it so, on any other rc helis I have owned
cheers & happy 'Howl' - 0- ween' !
