Well, I have seen a few guys asking just what comes in the box with the new 425, so I will try to give you an idea.
IMO, it is the basic 550 kit ( no motor,esc, or blades ) with plastic frame, short boom, ( there are 3 booms available for the Hurri, this is the shortest one ) and a canopy that is 2 pressed 'Hefty' trash bags that need trimmed and glued together, and 50T main instead of the 42T, and 62mm tail blades.
It is a nice kit for the $49.95 I paid, BUT, if I was to by this from a retailer, the most I would pay would be about $129 USD.
I bought my Hurri 550 kit with motor,esc, bec/regulater and blades for $259, so I think about $129 would be a fair price for this kit. Any more than that and it will flop just like the first Hurri 425 did.
Tried to take a few pics, but I haven't taken the parts out of the plastic bags yet, so the pics are not too good. Will try to post better pics if anybody is interested after I open the bags.
Since I have one with 550mm blades, I wll probably build this with 425's using a Z20-1470kv motor, gaui 50A or 75A esc, Sport Bec, JR G370 gyro and Hyperion tail servo with 14/50/20/61 gears. Probably be a winter project though as I don't quite have the funds for all the electronics yet.
BTW, what happened to Bobby? Haven't heard from him in quite a while. Hope nothing bad happened to him. He is a silly youngster, always enjoy his comments.
