Excuse my ignorance

Is this Hurrican basically a copy of the Air Skipper?

I am very much interested in this heli! I would like to get a 50 size nitro for the long (compared to my T600) flight times and inexpensive crash repair costs compared to a 90 sized ship.

I was leaning towards the JR A/S because of how much I enjoy my JR Vibe and the quality of the kit.

Help me decide or give me reasons to buy the Hurrican over the A/S.

Price is not a big motivating factor for me. I am more concerned with flight characteristics, dependability, company longevity and parts / support.

Thanks,

Sam

Sam,
You just listed the reason you should buy the Hurrican, "YES" the Hurrican and Airskipper is the same design, all the Hurrican parts will fit the AS50. Although you said price is not your only motivater, it is still a fact that the Hurrican 50 in the same state kit as the Airskipper 50 is 399.99 and the AS50 is 549.99
That being said, I have been a RC heliman for 15 yrs and love the sport, I decided to become the importer for the Hurrican only after testing it for about a yr. The Hurrican is in fact a very high quality machine and is fantastic in the air (flight charactoristics like a 90), if you like your JR Vibe helis you will love this one the same, as it is the same quality.
As I said I'm the importer so, customer support is no problem and we are working with some hobby shops to carry the Hurrican soon.
RjX of USA will do what ever needs done to keep all of our customers satisfied with parts support, tech support, and just good old hobbiest to hobbiest conversation.
Company longevity? I have loved this hobby for 15 yrs and god willing I'll be loving it for another 15. RjX flys what we sell, (along with a few others) Builds what we sell, so we have the knowledge about our helicopters.
If you want a quality helicopter to use and enjoy for a long time get the Hurrican 50 you won't be sorry, hope you'll give us a try
Thanks Rusty
