I went to my buddy Craig Martin’s house the other day to try out a new motor for the Hurricane 200 and OMG! This motor made my 200 the most powerful little heli I have ever flown. If you guys like lots of power, this is the motor to have. It retails for only $22.00 and is available from Helidirect at http://www.helidirect.com/product_info.php?products_id=6824

Thanks to Jack and Ray from Empire R/C, I now have a GAUI Hurricane 200. This is an awesome little machine, it is the smallest helicopter currently in production that is capable of full 3D. It can handle all the maneuvers you can throw at it and can be flown indoors or outdoors even with some wind!
