Scout vs Chronos

EPS 23. Bad weather is still lingering here in Colorado, however, with some Micro Helis you can fly anywhere in doors.  Our local HobbyTown USA franchise wanted us to do a comparison on two micro helicopters they sell at the store.  One is the Ares Chronos and the other the Blade Scout.  Both proved to be a lot fun for the students in conducting the comparison review.  Below are links to the products, watch and enjoy!
