I actually ended up going with the Thunder Tiger E550 Raptor. As it stands the E550 is much larger than the Hurry.

E550

Overall length: 1150mm (45.27")
Main rotor dia: 1245mm (49")
Tail rotor dia: 237mm (9.33")
Main rotor blade: 550mm
Tailblade dia: 92mm

550 Hurricane

Overall length: 1060mm (41.73”)
Main rotor dia: 1110mm (43.30”)
Tail rotor dia: 222mm (8.74”)
Main rotor blade: 550mm
Tailblade dia: 84mm

I dont think the size difference between the two would be considered a much larger heli.... I can stretch my Hurricane to run 600-620 blades no problem, Heli kit is cheaper and and parts for it are just as abundant if not more than the Rappy's. With the price difference between the kits you could of blinged out the Hurri..
