I'm crimping some PowerPoles onto 4 new TP 3300 45s right now, and, after the rain stops, I'll get it up, and get it sorted. Woohoo!!!

I like the blades okay. I flew them a bit on the old 6HV. I think the Compass blades flew the hardest on the original, but the Edge 623s fit my slower 3D better. I don't think they will work with the motor I'm using (original 6HV edition), as I can feel the difference in the weight between the old kit and the new. But, while I'm at work my next hitch I'll get a more powerful motor, and I think that will run the 623s just fine.
The green KBDDs do look cool in the air with the green underside of the disc flipping. I believe they are the same as a set that Mav markets.

that really is some perfect color matching. blades are dead on the canopy with the green and yellow. your tails match the orange on the canopy too. looks nice

I sure do like the fact that the 6HVU's stock canopy replaces the big black windshield area prevalent on other Compass canopies in favor of a bright color. I would definitely consider flying that canopy.

Experience is something you gain only after you need it.
I wouldn't mind social media so much if it didn't involve people.

I have the warp with the same couloir scheme and the windshield stands out better than any other heli I have had. Love it.

The heli flies great. I'm working on a slight tail wag, but otherwise it's the boss. Seems to be a bit quicker on cyclic, even with the extra weight, but that might be my imagination. It is using all the same gear from my regular 6HV, and I initially used the same head setup in my FBL(Helicommand) so as to have a base to compare the two. It seems to "sit" where you put it better than the older model. Hard to explain. It flies in a very solid and deliberate manner, which is deceiving, because it's as fast as before. Seems easier to have smooth transitions than before. Anyway, as soon as I have the tail sorted, I'll be a happy man. And it's just plain beautiful in the air
