Question 7HV

Hi All,

I haven't posted in a while - I was living in New Zealand and bought a Compass 7HV a little over 2 years ago. tldr; I moved to the states, Minneapolis shortly after. Finally in a position to work on my hobby again.

I've just shipped my Heli's over, expected delivery in a few days.

So - I have a 7HV Ultimate that has been hovered twice. I'm thinking of;

a) Upgrading to the chronos or;
b) Selling the frame and buying a new Chronos kit or;
c) Going to another manufacturer.

fwiw - I love building these things as much as I love flying them, hence me considering a fresh build.

Current kit (photo's have old esc);

RJX Servos
Skookum 540
Castle 160a
Compass V2 Motor

What do you think? What sort of price can you get for frame these days?

Cheers!

If you enjoy building much like I do then I would order a new chronos. By ordering a new one instead of upgrading the 7hvu you get a few extra nice things like the shiny hardware. The build is easy and enjoyable.

Also the kits experience rc are stocking now I believe come with rage blades and motors which are a great value if you want them.

Yeah, that seems like a fantastic option.

I might try to see how much I can sell my current kit.
