those are great additions to the hurricane aftermarket parts lists steve! :cool:, other colours i'd like to see the landing gear in are red and blue to mach the canopy colours. i also can't wait to see the alloy parts you release, and of course i was after a rotorworks frame but i couldn't wait any longer as the flying season is almost over here :(

Are the landing gear the same size as the stock ones or (hopefully) a bit wider?

I'd want whatever colour shows up the best at a bit of a distance, bright green, orange, red, whatever...

[ukpaul]

Ooops, just spotted that they are indeed wider (too quick to look at the pic lol), how much wider?

I love to have the metal tail upgrade. When will that be available Steve?

10mm wider, just enough to get better stand when landing.

hmm, I think I forgot some carbon fiber tail boom, some nice carbon fiber paddle 3D :)

Let's see what else we need? :)

Steve

[helidirect]

here is how tough the neon gear is as they are made of plastic/fiberglass mixture. Strong but flexible almost indestructable.

Steve

Will the CF tail boom come in both lengths? Stock and short?

I did some measuring the the Hurricane 550 tail boom uses thinner metal than the Trex 450 tail boom.

[helidirect]

We plan to release both versions with carbon fiber material.

The metal head & tail look really nice. What are the differences between the HeliDirect CNC head and the Gaui CNC head?

[helidirect]

thanks,

They are from different factories. The ones you saw on the pictures are aftermarket parts.

Steve

I realise that, what I meant is what advantages does the HeliDirect head have over the Gaui head? Why should I choose one over the other?

Thanks in advance! :)

EDIT: Ok, just looking I noticed straight away that the washout elbow links are part alu, compared to the completely-plastic Gaui parts. :YeaBaby:

[helidirect]

I will be testing both to see more on performance. But the most difference will be price.

Steve

[lightbulbjim]

Sounds good. Price is a good difference because with the Gaui head you seem to pay a lot for what you get ;)
