Hi all,

I am looking into a new heli to build and I realized I know nothing about the Hurricane. Could a golden hearted pilot give me a brief pros and cons comparing the helis above? Any other heli which would be comparable (forget the Logos)? Which would be a reasonable setup?

Thanks a bunch.

I have the trex450 v2, had a Swift, now owner of a Hurricane. Here is my quick and dirty list.

Trex450v2: Great little heli ! I fly this the most. I had other helis in this size range and must say this is the best. You can find parts everywhere and it's easy to build/repair. I never feel afraid of breaking this guy because parts are so cheap and easy to get fast. Big plus for me is that I can fly it at local parts and not worry it's too loud to attract attention.

Swift: Parts are cheap for repair, I felt this heli is big and heavy. You need expensive batteries. I felt you need a lot of room to fly this heli since it's fun to fly FFF. Very ugly canopy.

Hurricane: Love it ! Very lite weight and VERY easy to build and maintain. Parts are very cheap during repair. Feels like a bigger trex 450. Not afraid to fly it at local park. Quieter then the Swift and did I say extremely lite weight ! Very nice design and canopy. Oh and it uses 2 trex450 batteries !

Out of all the helis I had (8), Hurricane is my FAVE but I fly the Trex450 the most.
