Compass is releasing the new heavy duty ball link. This ball link is designed for highest loads and hold extremly well on the ball. Please always use a ball link plier to mount or remove it from the ball. The Item Number is 02-0709ST.

The new ball link can be used for the FBL-Drive for 6HV Ultimate, 550 Ultimate, WARP, 7HV, 7HV Ultimate and Chronos.

Another use are the links between swashplate and servos on the 550 Ultimate, 6HV Ultimate, 7HV, 7HV Ultimate and Chronos.

The injection quality is awesome and way better as the 02-0709S before.

Shipping is cheap and a big part is taken by Compass Model. From 500 USD Shipping is even completely free. We have over 95% of all products constantly in large quantities in stock and our goal is to reach 100% soon.

The website can be found at: http://www.shop-compassmodel.com/Wel...-Compass-Model
Our shipping rates can be found here: http://www.shop-compassmodel.com/Shipping-costs

We provide several payment methods: Bank Transfer, Pay Pal and Credit Card via Pay-Pal (without Pay-Pal account)

The new store covers large parts of the world and another enduser-shop will go online very soon, which will cover the entire European Union. Here we ship directly from Germany.

Check it out!

Additional: As some persons contacted me in facebook. The Compass-Shop is open for orders in the USA and Canada too, as the number of shops with a good stock in the USA is very low, we have to do it, till the situation is better. We don't think it is a real competitor for Prostar as Prostar is in the country with relatively short shiping times and a similar pricing. We use airparcel and we expect about 10 days shiping time.

The link for the new 6HVU manual does not work. I can't seem to find it on the website. Can someone point me to it, please?

Thanks guys. I had no idea that web shop even existed.

IMHO the Compass Shop deserves a sticky topic because of its importance, especially for non US folks. It's really a breakthrough!

Fully agree !

[TheBum]

I updated the Vendor sticky, removing some shops that appear to be out of the Compass business and adding the Compass Model Shop. Please post in that thread if you know of any new ones or if some of the existing ones need to be removed. Clutter should be kept to a minimum here.

I am curious about how the presence of this new shop is going to effect existing small businesses that carry Compass, specifically Prostar. I worry for Mike. He has been great and I would hate to see a lot of his customers jump ship to use this new shop.

I intend to still buy my Compass stuff exclusively from Prostar.

[quinn]

I don't think anyone in the US is gonna get parts from the compass shop instead of prostar unless prostar doesn't have the parts. Shipping would take much longer. I feel like we really need this to ensure we can always get parts when we need them. If prostar is out of stock on certain parts for weeks at a time, we cant be expected to just sit with our helis grounded. A lot of people use lack of parts support as an excuse to not buy compass.

[KiloXray]

You make a good point about shipping and having an available backup. Although, people also like to buy everything from one place. If Prostar is missing one item, it seems likely to me that the whole order will go to the Compass shop.

I suppose it has it's pros and cons, depending on who and where you are.
