Does anyone on this forum have both of these helis? Or does anyone have experience with both of these helis?
I'm getting rid of my EVO 50 and 30 and keeping my Raptor 50 as my only plastic fantastic. I want to go with a non-plastic frame heli next (either G-10 or CF), and these are the two I'm looking at.
If you have experience with both, how would you compare them?
How would you compare the quality of the parts? How would you compare the flying quality?
THanks!

I can only say positive things about the Hurrican. The carbon and fully blinged out one is a work of art. The Knight looks to be a good one but I have no experience with it. I might be tempted to buy the Knight plastic just for the apparent value. But for a Robbe like 50 size trophy go for the RJX Hurrican. The G-10 model is also very nice and cheaper with no big differences. TimT

seeing as tim commented that he hasnt flown the knight. i thought i would throw my oar in to even things up as i havent flown a hurricane.
i saw one at masters but didnt see it fly, seemed to have a lot of metal on it which is a good thing most of the time.
the knight 3d is really a next generation 50, at last a forward looking 50 rather than just more of the same. if you look at the pictures it has features that you would expect to see in a high end 90.
is there any video of the hurricane being properly abused?

Ade you need to go fly a hurrican I know you can "properly abuse" 1. Those tail blades on my knight seem way to soft to hold the tail, carbons are on the way!
As for the rest of my knight sport I never thought that it would be as nice as it is. The quality is better than that of my century ship and it is so solid.

Ade,
look in the HF video forum, my son 14 yr old Steven Fox thrashes ours around like you see in the video every sat and Sun for the past 4 months and all I've done is put fuel in it.
