This is the Blade 300 X Bind-N-Fly Electric Flybarless Helicopter. The nimble Blade® 300 X BNF packs big 3D performance into a compact 300-size frame that’s small enough to fly in many indoor spaces. At the heart of its amazing performance is the Spektrum™ AR7200BX Flybarless Control System with integrated BeastX technology. The amazing precision and agility that this system provides perfectly complements the impressive power of the E-flite® 320H, 4500Kv brushless motor and high-output 3S 30C Li-Po battery.
In Depth Features:
- Spektrum AR7200BX DSMX Receiver with Integrated BeastX Flybarless Technology: The heart and soul of the Blade® 300 X is the groundbreaking Spektrum™ AR7200BX DSMX® receiver. The AR7200BX integrates a 7-channel receiver with a BeastX 3-axis MEMS stabilization system in one lightweight unit.
- 245mm Symmetrical Main Blades: These high performance rotor blades let you aggressively push the limit of your 3D abilities with complete confidence and absolute precision.
- Composite Aluminum/Fiber Reinforced Swash Plate: The combination of aluminum with a lightweight fiber-reinforced material keeps swashplate weight to a minimum without sacrificing strength or precision.
- Triple Ball Bearing Supported, Hardened Steel Main Shaft: Ball bearings support the main shaft at the top and bottom of the drive gears, as well as the top of the frame.
- E-flite® DS76 Cyclic Servos and DS76T Tail Servo: The digital DS76-series servos are specially designed to deliver maximum power and precision for extreme 3D heli flight. The DS76T boasts extra speed for instantaneous tail response.
- E-flite® 320H 4500Kv Brushless Motor: This potent brushless motor will consistently deliver more than enough power for the most demanding 3D maneuvers.
- E-flite® 3S 11.1V 1350mAh 30C Li-Po Battery: The high-discharge rate of the included battery pack provides the power output you need to explore the farthest reaches of aggressive 3D flight.
- E-flite® 25A S-BEC Speed Control: This robust speed controller is engineered to handle the high-current flow of most any high-C 3S Li-Po battery.
- Aluminum Tail Boom: The stiff, aluminum tail boom keeps tail response crisp and precise.
- Belt-Driven Tail Rotor with Thrust Bearings in the Grips: The smooth, efficient belt drive is complemented by the durability and precision of thrust bearings in the tail blade grips.
- Weighted Tail Blade Hardware: Specially weighted blade mounting screws boost the speed and precision of the tail's response and reduce tail servo load during hard 3D maneuvers.

This heli rocks! This is my first collective pitch heli. I got it paired up with a DX8, flies great!

One of Blades finest! I started with a 130x and moved to the 450x before the 300x was out. The 450x is an amazing but I love the 300x just as much! Blade gives clear directions on how to set up for Spektrum radio so you are ready to fly right after charging the battery with the included charger! The only thing that you want to take note is the servos have plastic gears and will strip easily. If this happens to you I would recommend upgrading to an aftermarket metal geared servo but other then that this heli is dialed! A great first heli for a beginner or a 3D machine for an expert pilot. Also the optional Blade 300x case is a great addition and I would highly recommend it to store you heli, extra batteries, charger, and spektrum radio in one case! Great help!

Blade 300 X BNF Electric Flybarless Helicopter
This heli flies great! It is about the same size as an Axe Cp but flies more like a 450. And like a 450 this thing needs more room than a normal person's front yard. I think it flies big because it has 450 type power perhaps. Pretty responsive and faster than what I had expected.
There are two things i found wrong with this heli.
1. I broke a couple main shaft. One on takeoff tilt the other on landings on high grass. 130x owners be warned that the 300x you need to take a few feet rather than steer inches off the ground! If you do that it will tilt. Via online people say that this is mainly due to the oversize drill on the shaft screw and mainly the frame flex. I just installed stiffners which should be a must to solve the frame flex breaking the shaft issue.
2. Flight time is about 4.5mins. It's not 6mins but batteries are cheaper which is a good and a bad.
Overall very impressed for it's size and flies excellent. Great value for dollar IMHO!

I have progressed from a blade 120SR to Nano CPX to a 300x. I also have a used trex 450SE v2. I really like how the 300 flies, it feels like a big heli. I've flown it stock from day one and haven't crashed it(knock on wood). Using Phoenix Sim has helped a lot with how the heli handles in the wind and such. I would recommend this heli to anyone who wants to step above the micro helis but might not want a 450 or above.

Terrific right out of the box. It is far more stable than my Nano and is a great training platform. The fact that the BeastX comes preconfigured saves days of fiddling around with pots and manuals. I installed the Lynx frame stiffener just for added piece of mind. I have flown it now with over 50 packs despite some rough newbie landings. In fact I was surprised to see the other day that my landing skid was broken at the frame...but the heli...nor I..had even noticed. I highly recommend this reliable heli for new CP pilots.

Not sure about the couple of guys griping up there- maybe they got lemons. I've always had excellent experiences with HH on my 130x. They have covered items not even covered by waranty. Onto the 300: AWESOME FIRST FLIGHT. LOVE IT. Perfect out of the box. If you want a first heli though, I'd get the Nano CPX b/c it is cheaper to crash and believe me, you will.

Blade 300 X BNF Electric Flybarless Helicopter
BeastX is a BEAST and really makes this heli worthwhile. I installed the chassis brace before flight #1 and haven't had any chassis flex or broken parts (no crashes yet though). One major problem I did notice was that the throttle will randomly cut out for a second or two. It's not a brownout as the BeastX doesn't restart itself and you will immediately regain throttle control. I assumed this was a voltage-related problem and hooked a Novak Glitch Buster on and the problem went away (did the same thing to my 450x as well). Not sure a capacitor will solve brownouts (haven't experienced one yet), but it did solve the intermittent throttle cut out. The wood blades are slow and make the heli feel much more slow compared to the 450x, so don't expect 450x performance but they do work and the heli is great for cruising around. All in all, I'd say it was worth the price once you overcome a few small shortcomings.

Blade 300 X BNF Electric Flybarless Helicopter
I really wanted this helicopter to work out. It was the perfect size for my yard and was a great price considering you got a Beastx with it. But at the end of the day I have had mine for over a month and it hasn't been able to stay in the air longer than 2 minutes the whole time. Even after two separate dealings with Horizon's customer service, one even resulting in a new motor, I have yet to get this helicopter to work. It is plagued by brown-outs that nothing or no-one can seem to fix. Multiple AR7200BX's, multiple motors, multiple ESCs, and multiple servo combinations and at the end of the day once the heli gets above half throttle it cuts in and out and falls to the ground.
Update: 4/29/2013 - Horizon rejected this review on their own website and did not allow it to be posted.

300 X is a great machine! Put on carbon fiber blades and turn up your throttle curve and it becomes one amazing little heli. DO NOT turn up throttle curves on supplied wooden blades.Not a good idea!! Worst case scenario, salvage the receiver and put in a different bird.

The 300x is a great flying helicopter, and if you total it you still have a AR7200 Beast X.

Blade 300 X BNF Electric Flybarless Helicopter
I bought this about 2 weeks ago and I am not impressed with it at all. I wanted something a little smaller than my 450's to fly around the yard. I took it out of the box, set everything up, and plugged in the battery. I then started spooling it up and the main shaft snapped in half causing major damage to the blade grips, linkage, and blades. I never even got it off the ground before it came apart and couldn't even get the blades to stop turning before the damage was done. It might just be I got a lemon but it seems that the parts are a little low quality and not very durable. I would not recommend this to anyone as a first time purchase.
