Hi,
Had an interesting experience yesterday. I was flying my Logo 10 3D and in the middle of a piro flip I heard a TING sound. After that it felt kind of mushy to fly and I did a couple calm circuits to see if anything was wrong and decided to land it. When I checked the head I was very surprised to see that one of the links from the washout arms to flybar was missing (the one with a bent link on it) and the flybar did not respond to cyclic/pitch movements at all.
The good news is of course that your Logos are flyable without these links :roll:
I am not sure how this works, but I guess the paddles keept the flybar level while the two links from the swash to the blade holders would provide enough pitch changes to make it controlable?
Tried to find the missing link to see if it just fell off or if it was broken but no luck with that. I had noticed that they where a bit sloppy and was about to change them but figured they would hold up for a couple more flights...
