Default Where to buy a 550 Hurricane??

Well RC Expert has not answered any e-mails at all that I have sent.

Who else sells this heli and has the comparable deal that RC Expert has?

I was going to buy their Super version which has everything but the radio, plus you get all the aluminum parts and the carbon blades.

My biggest question for them was, "Do they pull the stock parts out of the box when you upgrade with carbon blades and alum parts?"

Did you try Readyheli? I am not sure if they have the version you are looking for but I am sure John can work you up a nice package.

for similar prices to RC Expert try Fung at Flying-Hobby.com,

but like the other guys i'd also recommend trying Readyheli.com, they are really supporting the Hurricane550 and bringing out great upgrades for it, plus both my recent orders from them have arrived in less than a week, and i'm in the UK

RC Expert was very good at answering emails for me. You need to remember the 15 hr time difference with Hong Kong. I got the super combo and there are two complete heads but I have had to yell to get them to send me the CF blades promised in the ads. In the end it was a good deal but, if my LHS stocked Gaui I would have kept the bussiness closer to home.

The reason I got a Hurricane, other than the T-Rex 500 being too small, I got the XES Pro SE kit off eBay for $349 from Modefos. Couldn't pass that one up.

All my parts come from ReadyHeli or HeliDirect. Both have great service.
