my wife bought me the 300x that i have been drooling over at the lhs sat. we were camping so i waited till tues night to make the maiden flight nerves were high and i never maid it off my landing pad and tipped it needless to say i snapped the main shaft tears in eyes i carried my wounded bird in. weds morn i called horizon and chuckleing at my story the rep said he would send me a new main shaft and feathering shaft and explained to me to just take off and it would be fine to my total disbeleif today about 26 hrs after talking to horizon the fed x trk shows up with my parts at this time i have my bird together and have made my maiden flight sooo happy and exicited +1 to horizon they took care of my screw up and got me in the air in less than 26 hrs

Cool beans. With modern FBL units, you want to just quickly pop the bird up off the ground once the headspeed gets high enough. In layman terms, the little stabilization gyros misbehave if they receive too much cyclic input on the ground. This is because they sense the cyclic input from your transmitter, but they don't sense a flight response since the bird is stationary. So the gyros get all confused. The solution is to simply not give any cyclic input until you're airborne, and to get airborne as quickly as you can. A lot of times beginners are nervous and are hesitant to get the bird off the ground on spool up, but now that you're aware of this, I doubt you'll have that little mishap again.

Have fun with your bird!!!

Cool. hope you enjoy it, you said 300x do you mean 300CFX? cause they don't sell the 300X anymore. of coarse your LHS could have had a few left overs

I think she loves you, wants more purses, and wants more shoes.



Nevertheless, have fun with your 300X and stay safe. These little birds can be dangerous if you aren't careful, but they're a lot of fun if you aren't careless. Just keep in mind that you will be crashing your 300X if you fly it a lot. But don't get discouraged! I crash all the time, so don't feel bad! We're all just a post away if you have any questions after an unfortunate impact with terra firma.
