Gaui Hurricane 550 (2007)
Bought Sep 07 off E-bay for a good price; servo's were fitted but required the remaining RC gear including a new speed controller as the original unit had a reputation for cutting out (ouch!!!!). Quite lightly loaded and thus very spry though I had only just learned circuits at the time even I could Whiz it round like a Pylon racer. unfortunately in Feb 08 I managed roll it into the ground (disorientation) but luckily the ground was soft resulting in very little damage and was easily repaired.
By Sep 09 the batteries were showing signs of 'swelling' under use and the motor seemed to get very hot; this kind of battery problem had happened on a few of my electric helicopters due to the need at times for long term battery storage. put into long term storage then swapped in 2011 for a Zoom 450 IC.
