I'd take ya up on that trade if...
1. I had a spare 550
2. Nitro didn't cost $36 a gallon here
3. I didn't need to spend another small fortune on filed equipment
4. My wife wouldn't kill me

Its a Raptor 50 V2 WIth A V1 canopy Trex 600 blue metal head Mavrik G4 carbon 600mm blades Os 50 Hyper (less than one gallon) Hitech 645mg servos gy240/align ds620 tail. Flys great Although I'm not the best pilot so I guess thats not saying much.

:dance

FlyawayClyde · 07-16-2009, 01:09 PM

So why would you want to go to electric from nitro, just asking ?

venture 50 · 07-16-2009, 05:53 PM

Nitro is $45 a gallon here for 30%. I ordered some, but the only thing you can get is a case, 4 gallons. The price is cheaper by $10 dollars, but its a lot to come up with at once. Batteries on the other hand, you only have to buy once; if you take care of them they will last for a while. I am only looking for a complete air frame, minus servos, gyro and stuff. I have all that. I also have 2 11.1V lopos to put in it. I like the gaui alot, for the price it cant be beat. It also sounds like everyone that has one realy likes them. So I will save my money or find some one to trade. I just hope that the price doesn't go up.

kahn10 · 07-16-2009, 07:10 PM

if anything it should go down a little as there should be a v2 launching soonish....and ya forgot to mention the hassles,mess,noise,extra equipment....did i mention noise...pollution...nitro rocks(just remembered ya trying to get rid of it..sorry bout that)

venture 50 · 07-16-2009, 07:22 PM

Hey, dont get me wrong, my Titan SE is the $#!t I love that thing but you are right it is noisy. But there is nothing like the smell of nitro in the morning LOL

I need something that I can plug and play, not carry around all this crap just to get the thing started. I was thinking about a trex600 but everyone and their grandmother has one of those, and gauis are cheaper to fix, and they freakin rock

so I will wait and save or trade But soon oh yes soon I will have you my precious

FlyawayClyde · 07-17-2009, 08:40 AM

Yeah Nitro rocks. I mean all you have to do is fuel it up and it's ready for another flight. And let's face it if you want lots of stick time , it is the way to go.
I've heard the rumors about the V2.o. I have 2 Hurris my plastic fantastic verision and the CHP framed one, I'm waiting for one of the Head-Hunter Frames to convert the plastic framed one to direct to swash.
I hope you find your Hurricane.

if you really want stick time... gasser is the way to go... 30-35 minute flight times...gas and go... no oily mess afterward..and the fuel doesn't cost a small fortune... (regular unleaded and 2 cycle oil)...

but for those of us that can't afford a gasser.... the hurri is great
