I have one of these. Just pulled it out of the garage after several years away from the hobby. There’s a nice video of my son flying it from way back in 2015. Search Carter Reichardt Blade 360. Tail blade broke at the end of the flight probably from grass damage on the previous flight. Amazing performance for the price. I plan to set it up for me this time around. My son was a sponsored pilot for several years and his first “real” Heli was the 450X. I still have that one as well. He drifted away from the hobby as did I. But I am itching to get back in it albeit on a much smaller scale. I was never much of a pilot but after building and setting up helicopters for my son I realized that I have a ton of knowledge that I am wasting. May even be able to get my son out there occasionally. He is in college now and will occasionally play on a sim. He hasn’t lost much in 4 plus years.
Weren't you also the lead designer for the 500x? which is one of my favorite helicopters.Good review the 360 is next on my list. Also looking forward to the videos.
The manufacturers say its got an oversized main shaft which implies unnecessary weight. If the main shaft was correctly sized for the application the heli could be even lighter.
Nice video brother!! Just found this tonight!! Great to see you this weekend at the Jamboree!!

Believe me when I say, it doesn't need to be lighter, if anything it needs a little weight.
Talks a lot, says nothing.
