It's good to see that people are still flying the Hurricane. After I got my 600 it's been on the shelf and I only drag it out when I'm trying to sell it to someone. Now I'm considering buying a speed controller, gyro and rudder servo that were stripped out of it for other projects and getting it back in the air. It's nowhere near being a T-Rex 600, but it's such a great heli.

Well, after a better part of a year having my 550 collecting dust, I got it up in the air again this weekend. I upgraded my 600, so I used the parts from it and transferred them to the Hurricane. It's not a 3D beast, but it is a good lazy aerobatic flyer. It still does all the loops and rolls and now that I've gotten a little better I almost had it cutting the grass inverted. I was going to sell it off, but after this weekend I just might keep it. Any of you guys still flying yours?

Status: offline 		Still got mine but it is hanging up in the workshop. It's something that I will never sell (hopefully) Had a big crash 12months ago and fixed it but haven't flown it since. When I get some more $ I will buy some new lipos for her and give it another go. I have an Air Wolf fuse to put on and that is my final aim and to put an auto pilot in it. I just love the look and the sound, we will see what we shall see

Yep, I still fly mine every chance I get, and I am currently building a Hurricane 425. With the right equipment, the Hurricanes can fly nearly as good as any other heli. I like them so much I even started one of those free, no frills proboard forums just for Gaui helicopters. It is a new site, with only a dozen members right now, but hope it grows in the future.

Please feel free to Google "Gaui Helicopter Talk" and join us if you like.

Status: offline 		I'm flying mine... although in all truthfulness, it's not really a complete Gaui anymore.  It's more of a Head Hunter/Gaui Hurricane 550.   It flies beautifully.  It's a helicopter I can grow into and yep... it is a 3D monster with the Head Hunter frames.

Status: offline 		Still great helis to learn on in their plastic or cf stock form.. and with a simple $60 motor upgrade and some cheap CF blades they are even more fun!
This is my old plastic z30 hurri now with hundreds of flights on it. All of them have been very low maintenance helis. Only two complete bearing changes and those were after wicked crashes onto pavement. Same stock tail on em, same belts, never a kick or static issue that wasn't due to a setup issue etc.. definitely was worth every penny of the initial investments.
