Modeltech Hurricane
 

Hello, My father bought a Hurricane ARC kit from model tech about 8 years ago
And is just now getting to it, Has anybody owned or flown one of these ?
Id just like a little heads up on what to expect , Its mid wing, 40-50 size
and apparently has fallen off the face of the planet ! Any info , experience ,
or building tips are greatly appreciated ![sm=confused.gif]

Wow ,looks old man.Build it straight and it should fly great!

Had one, it lands fast. Construction is good, hardwear blows. Flys and tracts straight, carves well, not much else.
For me had I to do it over again, I would increase the aileron X 2, rudder X 5 and double the elevator with counterbalances.
It has a pretty thin wing, so it will always land hot.
Builds heavy, 6 lbs min.
I would put nothing less that a BB46 for sport flying, OS 50 or Irvine 53 for better preformance.
Did I mention that it lands hot?

[img][/img]I've had two hurricanes and both were excellent planes. Wish I could find another. The landing on both were not bad at all, in fact I thought they were floaters. Anyway, the hurricane flys like it's on rails, very impressive. The first had a ST 40 and fly well but needed a little more to fly with authority. In the second one I mounted a ST 46 and, it hadled the hurricane very well. Happy flying.
