Logo 14 build videos will be here

[Finless]

OK so here is the place the Logo 14 build videos will be!

This will include all build vids, later upgrades, test flying vids, etc!

So you know I have already built one of these for Will James and it was an AWESOME heli... Now I am building one for myself and as always I will make build vids as I always do :)

So here we go.....

Preping the frames which I think is very important!

The frames (step 1) will be in two parts as this is a lot to cover!

Landing Gear. Nothing fancy here and pretty basic so skip it if you dont need to see it :)

I am jumping around a bit in the manual for video reasons and build reasons.

Sweet, looking forward to this one!

Hello Bob

if I may ask you this question here ...

I want buy a good size electric heli. but I can't make up my mind. there are two choices that looks really good. one is the logo 10 and the other is T-rex 600CF.
The lepton is also a very choice but the price is the high side. (by the way , I watched your video build on lepton. and learn a lot , thanks )

also, is logo 14 setup similar to logo 10 ?

I am beginner, I have been practicing on G3 for past 4 months , I think I am ready for the real thing.

cheers

[Lorents]

This is great Bob :D Almost makes me want to tear mine appart and build it up again... Very good idea making sure that all the cross sections are electrcally connected to each other.

Eric, the Trex 600 and Logo 14 is "50-size" helis and they are running 580-600 mm blades. The Logo 10 is a "30-size" helicopter running 500 mm blades. Other than that the Logo 14 and Trex 600 has a driven tail (tail spins when you cut the motor) and the Logo 10 does not have a driven tail.

Another difference between the Trex 600 and the Logos is that the trex uses full size servos on cyclic/pitch while the Logos uses smaller servos. The trex 600 and Logo 14 can be flown on 6S lipos and the Logo 10 can be flown on 4S lipos.

All of them are great helis, but personally I prefer the Logos :D

[Finless]

Lorents, I will have the frame parts 1 and 2 up tonight and watch and see how I got things connected :)

Honestly my experience with lockouts and carbon frames I think this is important to do!

Bob

[Finless]

OK frames are posted!

Enjoy,
Bob

[Lorents]

Nice!

Seems that the link to the second frame video points to the first one. Should probably be:

[Italianbob2169]

Hi Bob for some reason when I click on part 2 of frame build, it starts part one again? Thanks,BobG

[Finless]

Thanks for letting me know. Link is fixed.

Bob

[eric tung]

thanks Lorents for the info.

I think I will go for logo 10, ( as a beginner and also the price is good )

what electronics will you recommend for the logo 10 deluxe
brushless motor :
ESC :
servo for ccpm :
gyro and tail servo : I think I will use GY401with 9254
and battery :

I have jr 2610 radio set with the 77s receiver that I use for practicing on G3 .

cheers
Eric

[Lorents]

Hi Eric,

I have only set up mine for 3D flying so I might not be the best to ask, but if you post the question in the Logo section of this forum you will probably get some good answers :)

[Italianbob2169]

Hi Bob, The first vd are great as we all would expect comming from you...any idea when you will do some more posting...? Bob G

[eric tung]

thanks Lorents

I will post my questions in the logo section....

Cheers
Eric

[Finless]

Hi Bob, The first vd are great as we all would expect comming from you...any idea when you will do some more posting...? Bob G

More will be going up later today!

Bob

[Italianbob2169]

That is great Bob these are sooo much help..Thanks :D

[Finless]

More vids going up tonight! I will try to get the tail up tonight too....

Bob

[Lorents]

Good idea installing the open end on the thrust bearing ball cage facing up... never thought about that. And on the main grips the opening should point inwards...

On my L14 I had to use both of the shims above the main gear to keep them from rubbing against the frame. No need to use two if it dont rub I guess.

[MrMel]

Same for me regarding the washers, main gear rubbed the frame, so I used two washers above the maingear.

[Finless]

WEIRD! My gears with one washer are not even CLOSE to rubbing the frames?

Bob

[Italianbob2169]

Bob how do you tell the differnece between mod gears's and what does that mean...sorry if it is a dumb question it is just you refered to mod it the video.

[MrMel]

Mod = size of the teeths

[Finless]

Yep mod is used to refer to the "pitch" or size and spacing of the teeth of the gear. In general, the larger the number the larger the teeth.

Bob

[Lorents]

Perhaps its because MrMel and I use the alu motor mount? I use a thirt party mount that Customheliparts made.

[MrMel]

It was like that even with mikado original plastic...

[Finless]

Tail vids are up.... I will try to complete the rest of the tail drive assembly tonight.

Bob
