Well, finally the time has come to order my Logo500 kit, BEC, motor and lipo's...
I tried out the V-Stabi V4.0 on my T-Rex500, and that was a success ! So now I am ready for the Logo.
I already have :
- the most important upgrades I read about on this forum;
- servo's, the BLS251 for the tail and BLS252 for the cyclic (= an F3C servo);
- the V-Stabi;
- ESC, a Phoenix 85HV (I know about the gov issues - Jive might come later but I am used to throttle curves, so we'll see how it goes).
What I need :
- the Logo 500 3D kit with flybarless head;
- a BEC, because the CC 85HV is Otpto-coupled;
- a motor;
- some lipo's.
I bought a HV speed controller, because I like the HV-principle. I tought about 8S, 10S, 12S, but found it hard to decide, so I wanted to start with 6S and see how that goes.
But...as I have 2 pieces of Flightmax lipo's for my T-Rex500, 2650 mAh 6S, 30-40C, which I haven't used yet, I was thinking to use those. A set of 2 only costs about $115, about the same as one 6S 500 mAh of the same brand. I know, Flightmax isn't the same as some other brands that cost twice the price or even three times more, but my flying skills aren't that good that I notice lots of differences between the lipo brands. So for me, it is important to have many lipo's, so I can fly a lot !
Is this a good idea or not ? For the motor, I was thinking about the Scorpion HK 4025-630. Combined with a 13T pinion that should give me an acceptabel HS I think, or would the 740 be a better idea ?
The BEC will be a WR Hercules SuperBEC, the obvious choice I guess.
So, any comments/hints/tips about this setup are welcome, becouse I have to start ordering the things I haven't got already !
Grtz,
Yves.
