LYNX Heli Innovations 300 DFC Build
I built myself a complete LYNX 300 DFC out of all LYNX upgrades they make for the Blade 300X/CFX.
Only thing needed was a stock Blade tail boom and belt. However LYNX does make a stretch kit with longer tail boom, boom supports and belt but I wanted to keep my 300 small like my other 300's.
Here is my complete build album on my FB page with all the build pics

Electronics I used for the build:
FBL System: iKON
Motor: Scorpion 2208-24
Pinion: 13T Slanted
ESC: Castle Talon 35
Governor: Castle Internal
Cyclic Servos: MKS DS480's
Tail Servo: MKS DS95i
Main Blades: LYNX 245mm
Tail Blades: LYNX 47mm
LiPos: Pulse 1350mAh 35C 3s Lipo
Low head speed 3D school yard flight
All the parts laid out
New Protos style canopy for cool new look and more battery room
LYNX's newly designed CF frame with instructions
Went together very smooth. Remember to sand frame if needed and Loctite all screws. I only Loctite one frame side at this point as I take a side off to run and secure my wires.
Super smooth bearings pre-installed into the main bearing blocks
All aluminum tail case, pitch slider, grips, etc...
Servos and S-bus installed and wires ran through the frame (I take pride in my clean builds)
iKON, motor and ESC installed and wires secured
Side frame re-installed and Loctite applied
Ready for a test flight!
LYNX 300 DFC next to my Blade 300 CFX
Test flights success!
The LYNX 300 hanging out with the Blade 300X and CFX
21 flights in total so far with zero tuning. Waiting on the 12-14T pinions to play with different head speeds.
The build went extremely quick and easy and have about 6hrs into the entire build start to finish. All the LYNX parts came nice and tight but I still took each part apart, lubed, and applied Loctite where required. I choose to mount my FBL unit on the bottom electronics tray so I could hide all the wires inside the frame and tucked the ESC up under the battery tray to continue the clean look I was shooting for. More pics and videos will come as I play with different setups etc... This is now my go to 300 and the CFX will be my student trainer and backup machine.
