Atlantahobby.com | Ask The Experts Forums : Micro Hels

E-flite is the S300, the latest in the Blade series of Helis. It has a scale Schweizer 300C body and trim scheme and is available in a ready-to-fly (RTF) version, complete with helicopter, 3.7V 110mAh LiPo battery, Spektrum 2.4 GHz transmitter, and eight AA batteries for the included charger and transmitter.

A Bind-N-Fly (BNF) version is also available, it has everything mentioned above except the transmitter and batteries.

Included with each version is a spare set of upper and lower rotor blades; trim tape; spare servo shaft retainers; spare canopy mounting O-rings; numbers and letters; and a small Phillips screwdriver.

I find the Performance, to be great. This micro coaxial helicopter is a a blast to fly and I find my self tempting the sho dog Katana with it. Mine is the BNF version and I fly it with my 9303. Binding the helicopter to my transmitter was simple, with minimal trim required for stable hovering and flight. I find this heli to be like the MCX heli but with a cool scale look.

The spare rotor blades are a nice touch, because the model flies so well that it's easy to be a little crazy with it like trying to land on the duct work here in the shop. This can result in some hard landings and occasional need for repair but that is a 5 min job if needed.

Flight time on the stock battery is approximately seven minutes, varying a bit with the amount of maneuvering and we have a 130Mah pack available as an upgrade for more power and flight time.
