Default Boom covers and 3 Blade heads
Managed to catch one of the Align 700s with a the "Speed" setup on it and it looked amazeballs. I know I've heard in the past that Seb has no interest in boom covers but will we see a speed fuse as it seems nearly all of the major players have released them. With the power of the stock 7HV and now Chronos I think it would be a real contender in the stock class with a decent fuse. I'd have thought coming from the land of speed you guys would have been all over it.

Going on from that the next big thing seems to be 3 blade heads. Is Compass going to wow us again like they did with the original swash driverless head?

Sweet! I'm sure guys will buy it with the new popularity of 3 blade heads. Maybe not so much a competitor in speed because of the wide profile of the chronos, but its still excellent for 3d

Hopefully I will be getting a Chronos at some point this year so this head would probably be on my short list. Maybe a Tri-Blade Chronos kit?

Just as long as they do 3 blade packs for not a ridiculous price

I've wondered how 3-blade rotors are for transport. One blade could go straight back, but to get all the blades straight back would require that the other blades bend back 120 degrees.

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

There is notching done on the outer two blades to facilitate that, Alan.
