The Evolve 300 CX is much larger than typical ultra ‐ micro and micro class CX helis for
improved visibility and performance when flying outdoors. It’s also equipped with a
swashplate including user ‐ selectable control response/authority and you can install the
optional short length stabilizer flybar (IFLH1319X) to fly in winds up to 5 ‐ 10mph.
IMPORTANT NOTE: We only recommend flying the ‘stock’ (out of the box) helicopter
outdoors in calm to very light wind conditions. Do NOT attempt to fly the Evolve 300 CX
outdoors in anything more than 1– 3mph winds until after increasing the control
response/authority and installing the optional short length stabilizer flybar.
Control Response/Authority
The inner/rotating part of the swashplate is equipped with a set of ‘short’ control balls along
with a set of ‘long’ control balls. As delivered from the factory the lower rotor
head/swashplate linkages are attached to the short control balls to provide a good balance of
control response/authority that works well overall when learning to fly, flying indoors, etc.
However, to fly outdoors, especially in anything more than calm to very light wind conditions,
you should disconnect the ball links/linkages from the short control balls then connect them
to the long control balls instead. This will increase the overall control response/authority.
