For those of you that own more than one helicopter, which one of them is your favorite, and why? Keep in mind that even though this is a Gaui oriented site, it is perfectly fine to post any brand of helicopter here as being your favorite, simply because it is all about the hobby, and not about a specific brand.
I know that some guys might have so many helicopters that they can't decide on a favorite, but, go ahead and give it your best shot.
I currently have 7 'flyable' helicopters, meaning the ones that could be taken out to the field right now and flown, and does not include the crashed, stripped for parts, or unfinished builds.
Right now, my favorite is the medium boomed Gaui Hurricane, built on the HeadHunter frame, running 500mm blades. This thing just flys awesome. The collective and cyclic response is every bit as fast, if not faster than my 425's, and just as stable as the 550. Basically, everything about it is just perfect, other than, I suppose FBL might offer even more stability, but it still has one of those flybar thingy's on it, lol.
My second favorite is the lil Gaui 200. Simply put, it is a ball to fly, although my poor eyesight makes it a little hard to see unless I fly it real close to me. It flys so fast and responds so quick, it is like playing a video game.
When I crash it, I just pick it up, set it on the heli pad, and take off again. It is so light that it rarely suffers any damage in a crash. 
I do happen to have an X5 Lite basic kit coming soon, but it will be a winter project, so maybe I can get it in the air next spring and compare it to my other helicopters.
