430CFX
Do you think BLADE will release a Blade 5003d/X replacement?
Based on how they went from a 450X to 360CFX.

I love my 5003D; just wanted to see if you all think BLADE will produce a newer version.

no

No it won't happen, there wasn't a lot of love for the 500 until the price dropped. Besides that I'm pretty sure CFX stands for Carbon Frame flybarless heli, in Blades terms, which the 500 already was.

I'm pretty shocked on how Blade won't release one when the Blade 5003D/X fly amazing and so smooth out of the box. Also with minor mods it's even better to fly. So i would have figured they made a little smaller version, hence a 430 CFX.

I get that you posted this at 0256 in the morning. Or maybe 0556 your time?

Anything you would change after a cup of coffee?

Also, how well it flies really doesn't matter if people aren't buying it. It could be the best flying heli in the world, and still get canned if people won't buy it.

Exhibit A: Blade Pro Series. Both of mine (550X and 700x) are great flying and very reliable helis...now dead and gone from future production...

One word DRONES, is where they are heading in my opinion!

You'd be correct. And, beyond the hobby realm, too.
