Status: offline 		Yes I've considered and still looking at gaui hurricane but as good as the price and value it is I still can't even squeeze a good helicopter out with my budget. It'd be a great airframe with a bunch of sub par electronics. The hurricane still leans closer to a .50 size then .30 and that's too big for me right now.

Gaui has released the ep425 which is relative size to t-rex 500 but uses the same head as hurricane 550 making it heavier than it has to be. I like waiting for this heli because it uses a light single plate chassis on either side with a plastic head and metal matter rotor housing. Seems like it'll be more ridged and lighter than others out there, while easier to work on with simplified parts. I plan to look at making carbon fibre plates for the frame once I have it in hand.

Status: offline 		Ok i wana get this straight. in gassers the number is diffrent but in an electric its the motor size. im guessing a 600 is like a .60gas and a 500 is like a .30gas, am i right?

Status: offline 		maybe they're waiting till they have produced electronics especially for this heli. This gyro has surfaced in the last 7 days but has yet to be placed on their website.

Status: offline 		i think for me the e smart would just be too big and i would not be able to take it to the local park to fly due to its size.
would a Futaba 6EX 2.4Ghz 6ch run a esmart or would a 7ch radio be needed.

Status: offline 		Only time you reallly need a 7th channel on electric heli is if you want to run a retract kit or lights (or even a camera setup)from the receiver. for anyone just flying for general purpose sport or 3D 6ch is always the case.

cheers

Status: offline 		the flight time wouldn't be long and you'd have to limit what your doing. A pack like that would be best used to practice hovering and maybe a little FFF. It's also going to depend what the RTF weight of the heli's going to be.

The C rating of a battery that size will probably need to be taken into acount as well. 500 sized heli motors usually draw around 40-50 amps max so you'll want to be sure the battery can handle it. It's always best to overshoot the rating just a bit as the manufactureres don't always give you a "true" C rating. I'd want to have at least mininum true 20C with a battery that size
