First of all, yes I like bling and no I do not care what you think, lol. :D

Anyhow this is a new item from "Custom Heli Parts". This is the "Anti-Rotation arm" designed for the CHP L10 frame set. However as you can very well see this can fit on your Logo 14 with great ease!

First of all remove your stock anti rotation arm, stick the threaded 3mm rod through both sides to level the original back blocks. Using a file "fine grit" very carefully and slowly file square down to about 1mm above the block, DO NOT file down to the blocks as that is too low, as you can see from the pics I went abit too low then had to put on a tad of epoxy. Do not file any more forward than the original blocks either. Anyhow in less than 5-10 minutes tops you can make a small cut out of your frame and use this fantastic piece. Once you prefit the arm from outside to make sure it will fit for the bolt hole and angle you can then with razor or small dremel disc cut the inside back part of teh arm off of original blocks, or better yet if you have the bearing block CHP sells remove it all together :). Since I myself like things to never move and to just fit as best as they can I cut the canopy mounts 2mm off ends and used a 3x.5 nut "not supplied" on outside of frame to secure the 3mmx14mm hex bolt "not supplied"going through the arm&frame. Nice finish, the swash rod fits very well and moves smoothly throughout the movements without binding in any way at all.

Also here is a picture of the Logo 10 cnc flybar bridge on my 4mm flybar upgrade for the Logo 14. Unlike the plastic one that comes with the upgrade kit this one actually bites down hard on the flybar and it will not move or twist in flight with this setup. I had the stock plastic one slip and flybar paddles shifted in flight, On the plastic one you can tighten down both sides flat and that is in no way as secure as this fit is.

Good job on the new parts Dan, they fit fantastic and I think you should make note of this working on the L14 as well, 5-15 minutes of work and you have a cool new item on your bird. :)

Looks great, but if you like bling, where is the v-bar system? :mrgreen:

Ace, the V-Bar is not really bling, it is pure funtion imho, and it is 1200USD+ dollars :shock: , which I am sorry but I can not justify it "right now" as I still have a ways to go and I know I am going to be putting in more helis, lol. Plus I am building a E - Raptor very soon, and likely a HV 600 rex soon to. And Lorrents I would have that but they have been out, I have 2 on route so no worry there :).

Is this part for the L14???

Not really, but it fits perfectly. The downside of using it is that you have to remove the two original plastic spacers that also act as supports for the swash guide. I have modified these to do the job without the part that holds the bearing block (see picture).

If you use the alu swash guide that Shawn uses here it wont be a problem at all.

I think that Alum upper bearing block would be worth everypenny over the plastic ones

Looking good you guys

... eh, but the canopy holders are ... plastic? For some reason in my crashes I have been breaking the canopy posts, I figured if they were metal I 'd have more risk of breaking the frame where they connect so I leave them plastic.

Dan Rupp, a real nice guya nd really willing to make just about anything I have found, lol.
The control bridges he makes imho are a must as I have had paddles shift with the stock one, of course you guys all going v-bar will not need stuff like that. :)

Anyhow here is his site, I know RH carries quite abit of his stuff now to.
Between him and Nenno you can load up on metal if you chose, amazing thing is more than half this stuff is lighter than the stock stuff, my overall weight is actually abit less than stock and I am not kidding you. Good times :)

Shawn how do you like the Orbit motor compared to the Tango motors?

I think the Orbits are an unestimated motor, I like outrunners.

I have a choice between the Orbit 30-12 or the Tango 45-08 so I am trying to see which one will give me more power and efficiency.

OICU812

The tango 45-08 has abit more power, but not by much, and with the 45-08 you have to use a 10 tooth pinion which is torture on gears, with the Orbit 30-12 the 15 tooth pinion and governed at 75% is perfect and gives a HS of around 2250 rpm in hover.

Shawn do you know how the Orbit 30-12 fairs against the Actro 24-4 on 10S?

No but I will within a week, I have an Actro that just arrived, the Hacker shold be here next week. I need time and warmer weather to answer your questions. I can tell you I like the Orbit more than the Tango 45-06,07,08, and more than the NEU 1912-1Y, 1.5Y ...those are all the motors I have tried thus far and the Orbit remains. FOr reasons as more tourque, a more consitent power throughout the flight as well as for meshing which is crucial imho, especially when you have big power, and the fact that Mikaod gears are "not" glass impregnated.
