Something to be excited about, I was able to setup the ESC with card and heli on, throttle range is now correct and I must of had the brake on, that's good now
still need to install canopy and 4 steps with gyro, I just spun it up 25 percent for 1min before this camera shot and all good

Hopefully, Horizon will as helpful as they have been in the past.

Your heli is looking real good. Please,please please double check EVERY scew on your heli for locktite BEFORE you give it a full spool up. Also double check the gyro correction direction too. A lot of guys have had tip-overs on their first flight because of this. It happened to me with my 450. Luckily all I did was scrape up my blade tips.

Finally accomplished the maiden flight of my Blade 300CFX. It flew flawlessly! It is much more agile than my fly barred SR and 4503d. It will take some getting used to but I really like this heli. Feels like a much larger machine. The beast X is an awesome unit. It definitely pays to do a thorough pre-flight. I was a little nervous, but I knew I had triple checked everything so I really had nothing to be nervous about. I took a flight vid and I will try to post it tomorrow. Happy flying guys

You got lucky today with those screws coming loose. That's why I reminded you to double check them. Your heli should be an awesome flyer once you get it dialed in. Don't forget to make the mechanical adjustment on the tail linkage. Your tail should be rock solid after that. I have to figure out what is causing my wag.

Good luck with your 450s guys
