Any chance that you can give links to some of those things as I don't recognise them ...

Some initial thoughts ..

Turnigy 500 H3126 Brushless outrunner 1300KV - should be OK
Gaui 425 & 550Steel Pinion Gear Pack(13T for 5.0mm shaft) - Should be OK but I would go with the 50T primary gear and a 15T pinion personally
HXT 10kg Servo (metal gear) 55g / 10kg / .16sec x 3 - don't know these , sorry
HKS-9257 High Speed Servo 4.5kg/ 25g/ 0.07sec - I would go for a STandard size tail servo personally
HobbyKing GA-250 MINI-MEMS Gyro - I have one - it is rubbish, bad bounce on stops, would not help your learning - buy an HK401B at least
ZIPPY Flightmax 2650mAh 3S1P 40C - you will need to join 2 together in series
Birdie 90A Brushless ESC w/ 3A BEC - don't know it, personally I would go for this one http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...ess%5FESC.html
430mm Wooden Main Blade (Blue/White) - I would not use wooden blades on a 425mm heli, I would try these http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...s%5F430mm.html

Good luck,
Mike.

A few thoughts. Kit comes with a 50T primary gear. As Mike mentioned, you should probably use a 15T or 16T pinion gear to get enough head speed. I also agree with Mike against using wood blades. Get some 430mm FG or CF blades.

The Hurricane 425 and 550 are basically the same, but, the 550 manual is much better than the 425 manual. You may want to go to the Gaui site and download the " EP550" manual as it might help you some with your build.
