I purchased my hurricane 550 today from flying-hobby and would like to know if I am right in thinking I got a pretty good deal. I got the Pro CF version, CNC head, 1100kv gaui motor, 75 amp speed control, and two sets of CF blades for 600 plus shipping. From what I can tell this is a good price but please correct me if I am wrong. I must say that they were very helpful with all of my questions and quick to respond. Let me know what you think.

The CNC kit in the states is $399 and the Gaui CNC head will set you back another $299. Add an ESC, motor and rotor blades and you’ve sunk quite a bit of cash, so yes, you got a good deal. How much was shipping? and you may also have to pay some Duty fees. Let us know how it turns out as I was looking at Flying-Hobby just the other day and may be interested.

I opted for the faster of the two shipping options and it was 45$. I think for the shipping that took 10-14 days it was 35$.
