are these two birds about the same size? is the hurricane going to be the trex500 's competition?

The Hurricane is bigger than the Trex500, the comparision is the Lipton and HDX500.

Trex 500 is a 500 MOTOR size, 400 - 450 mm blades.
Hurricane 550 is the same size as a .30 nitro heli using 475 - 550 mm blades.

Thanks,
I wonder if it would be a better choice to go from a rex450 to the hurricane. maybe the rex500 wont be that much of a diferance.

I have a Lepton and the difference is big. The Lepton's size really makes a difference and flies a lot bigger. It's still not a 30 size but then if you're going to get a 30, you might as well just get a TRex 600 because that size difference isn't all that much. The TRex 500 is a nice size in between the 450 and the 600. I have all 3 sizes (plus a 90).

I agree, I got a Quick of Japan EP8 (400mm blades) after having the Trex 450. VERY large in comparison. Felt huge when I first flew it.
The Hurricane as another step up, you definitely want to fly that one further away. :)
