I have been considering my next addition to the fleet. I have now placed on order a Mikado Logo 600.

The Trex500 FBL is flying absolutely fantastic but I have fancied a larger heli for some time. Had my heart set on a Logo. Almost went for the Logo 500 but shifted to the 600 so future aspirations were covered. The L600 is one very nice unit.

Initially I will run it with 6S battery and flybarless set-up (V-bar). I will run at 6S for a while with Scorpion 4025-1100 motor before moving to 10S "powerhouse" set-up.

Can't wait! When it arrives, it will be time to pass around the cigars!! I promise in advance to do a build thread.

That guy on the demo certainly showed his ability to throw an obviously manoeverable machine around. Unfortunately to my untrained eye, it just ;ooked like it was out of control & readyto crash most of the time. That aside, a truly impressive piece of machinery.

Andrew - thanks. "Baby" arrived last Monday. Picked it up whilst in Melb.

Kizza - yes, belt drive. The only option on the Mikado helis. Prefer TT but there isn't a choice.

Just need to look up another forum site where there is a thread on sneaking new helis in to the house without the wife knowing. I can't really say I got a new canopy for the current heli as the new canopy consumes my 500 so that aint going to work.
