Been a while since i posted, so just wanted to say hi all and heres why i have been so busy of late. Well, as you may know i got my Hurricane 550 a while back and it has blown me away. I was expecting it to arrive in the usual several plastic bags format and also expected to sit for hours putting it all together. I couldnt get over the fact that this heli was almost built for me and the quality is great, it handles great too. My biggest worry was getting parts, so i did something to make sure i didnt have to worry.

I dont know if anyone on here remembers a man called Victor Kiam? He liked a companies product so much he bought the company. Well, I didnt go that far but i did import the kits & parts into Canada and i have also sponsored a build vid over on Helifreak.

Im retailing them via an ebay store for now - well below usual retail.

Its now official....i am an addict and now im like a kid in my own candy store...i can crash all i want - no waiting for parts.... :)

Its like being in heaven..................I think i need help :eek:

Finless did a build video for the Hurricane 550 over on helifreak.com. Anyone know about parts availability/price for this heli? I'm waiting to hear if Align will actually release the T500 before I jump on my next bird.

Hi Isaac
I've ordered from Advantage many times they are excellent to deal with!! :cool: and I'm expecting a parcel from them early next week.

I think the best thing to do is email Lenny Sabato and ask him, I've done this in the past and usually get a response in 12-24 Hours.

Welcome to the forum :)
Good luck with the Hurricane.
Cheers Ralph
