Mikado Logo 690SX
Dobili smo nesto informacija o helicu od Dave Dahla na HF:
"Just got home from flying, and found this thread. Wow, I see nothing's changed as the world turns in the "heli forum world" when something new is offered
Anyways, here's what I can tell you.
Mikado has yet to offer (and many have asked for it), a "690" heli (like other "700's" that are really 700 "lites", using 690's vs. 700's or even 713's like the Logo 700), that is super light, yet can handle full blown "700 class head speeds". The 600SE of course does 690's, but has it's limits.
So, enter the Mikado Logo "690SX". It uses the Logo 600 molded frame set as a base, but adds the tougher SX drive train on 12S with a new from Scorpion custom made for the heli 370kv 4525 motor, which (due to the low kv) uses a large pinion to keep the drive train good and tough. Even with the excess of power, gear strips are not an issue...Kyle has proven that, as he's been prototyping and flying the crap out of one for some time now.
It uses a new belt type/design and new rear gearbox parts and pulley design to make the tail able to handle extreme abuse without "belt issues", with a redesigned composite carbon/metal front tail drive pulley and larger one-way to handle the power, beefier tail boom supports, coupled with the new SX head and it's better dampening, larger beefier swash plate, an integrated to the frame front battery support so no plates are needed to mount the two 6S packs in the frames, a new bottom extension for the frame/landing gear situation, (the heli as it sits on the ground is taller than the Logo 600 series), and a larger canopy that gives it more "presence" and a proper proportion for the longer boom while in the air...the Logo 600SE always looks too "long for the canopy size". The canopy still looks like a Logo 600, but it is larger.
Kyle's prototype all-up weight RTF with 12S 5000's comes in at only 10.5-10.75 lbs., depending on servos used, BEC vs. 2S etc. The thing is an animal, and due to it being so light, 2000 head speed is all Kyle uses...but man is it REALLY quick. You could use 4500mah packs, still get good time, and it's even lighter!! You just can't bog it down with the 4525 motor in it, and with the new designs installed, it's not fragile either. Kyle has been abusing one for awhile now and it's handled the abuse well...the whole point of the heli...which is a super hot lightweight "690" that you can smack to your heart's desire.
Hope this info helps keep the discussion on track
