Default RE: Conversion for Texas Hurricane

I have more pics but where I dont have a clue. I got a new computer & all the pics I had on my old one were stored on CD's. If I can hunt some up I'll post them.

On mine I used Hitec 625 MG servos on Ailerions & Elevators, a 645 MG on the rudder and of coarse a standard on the throttle. I placed everything where the Manufacture recomended & had no balance problems what so ever. My friends is slightly more tail heavy than mine was, only difference being his engine is slightly lighter, and his lands with a slight nose high attitude with a little more throttle on it where as mine settled into a nice level to nose slightly down sink rate. With either plane though landings were "trainer" like. Very stable & predictable.

If you have never flown one of the hurricanes but have flown an aerobatic plane you would never guess they belong to the same family. There an excellent aircraft & I would recomend them to anyone (with a little experience) wanting to move up to a larger plane. Also very well built w/ excellent hardware

You can check out the home page of our club web site. It has mine & my friends Hurricanes along with my P.W. Extra
