    A Swiss knife designed by a German made in Asia = F@#rrrrrken awesome ;)

    Pre-flight check -

    Check lipo voltage
    Check servo swash movement
    Check blue light on spartan
    fly and try and break it.

    150 flights

    Rinse and repeat

      Nice work @MickyD I wanted to fly so bad but got stuck fixing a lawn mower would you believe. Got the mower fixed and hopefully tommorow. So how was the flying? were you able to feel the sticks through the cold? It looks like it was sunny where you were flying?

      Got there about 11am and left at 4:30pm lol. I have a man bag with tire warmers in HAHAHA, I leave the TX in and it warms it up for me between flights. Big session, after watching the sim videos I was inspired!
      Yea the sun come out a few times :)

      Good to see you on Heligods Dean. Welcome.

      I'm real keen to get a Chronos, but not quite in a position to order one right now. Thats why I was asking when they were due in, hoping they were going to be a few weeks away to give me some time to get the cash together. I told Mick the other day that I've been missing owning a Compass since I sold my Warp, especially after seeing his Chronos at the Heligods fun fly a few weeks ago. I'll be in touch when I'm getting ready to rock 'n roll.

      Doing the sim comp really helps because it puts you under pressure while performing all your tricks. I bet you flew well as a result? There are many good things about the chronos ...

      Yea, flying in small quarters helps with finding the middle stick and quickly. I didn't dial down the heli in the indoor stadium flight agility was at 98% :)
      The sim comp is a great idea! "thumbs up heli Gods"! If the weather is good I'll be making a visit next week to MRCHC, great club.

      The thing I like about Chronos, it does somethings very differently. For example, goblin do things differently with their power train combined with tail as do Chronos with their unique head and tensioner, as do TDR and banshee. The egg beater viariatons (trex - engine onto main gear - torque tube) are simple but copied largely by clones - which is still ok but they feel similar. The different designed helis do feel different and bring new stuff to the table.
