thinking about a chronos
I would like to buy a 700 class heli , I really like the look of the chronos , are they going away any time soon, I will probably take until xmas to save up enough for the kit. I looked on amain and they said that they were discontinued is that their way of saying they are not selling them any more or are they really discontinued

prostar has them , but I will probably have to wait till xmas, what do you mean by not selling them anymore , not popular ? , i'm not one to follow the herd , I think the design is cool and I am just now ready for a 700(possibly)I just don't want to buy a model that is not supported, I had a warp but parts were hard to get sometimes , that was the ONLY reason I sold it

Compass retailers come and go in the US, but there is always Prostar. The Chronos isn't going anywhere anytime soon and would be a great 700 to start with.

I will echo what everyone else is saying that the Chronos is not going anywhere - it will be around for a long, long time.
I am very pleased with the performance of my Chronos compared to my other machines and it always puts a big smile on my face when I fly it. The build was very straightforward and the quality of the machining (and parts) is top notch. Check out Dunkonu's great Chronos build thread if you haven't already for more detail about the kit/build here: https://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=739362 If you keep reading about this heli in the forums, you may not want to wait until Christmas....Here are a few pics of mine and it's fairly stock with Compass motor and blades, CC160A, MKS servos, VBar Neo and KBDD tails. Let us know if you have any other questions.

I already don't want to wait until xmas but no choice , probably be another 6 months before I can get it in the air but it looks and sounds like its worth the wait

Chronos in my opinion is one of the best pure 700s out there. Fly's great, looks great, and is very reliable. I fly mine all four seasons. All I need to do on mine is mostly oil the bearings and the scorpion motor from time to time. It is definitely worth saving up for.
Winter... Spring... Summer... Fall... Chronos is great for all seasons

Compass Chronos being flown Justin "Coe Show" Coe at the last San Diego Fun Fly, Justin is one of the top pilots in the industry and we are proud to have him flying for Compass!
I never saw any machine, that large, fly that hard or reverse directions that rapidly!

Was that a backward inverted auto? First I've seen...
Don't forget this flight.

that is what I love about the chronos! So much precision it flys like it's on rails and doesn't get all loose feeling when you are pushing the limits
