I think Epc2 put that perfectly :D (cept that 9650's are betta :wink: )

One thing - for the ESC:

Logo 10: CC45HV, Jazz80
Logo 14: Jazz 55 (most people use the Jazz on 10S)

ok thanks guys, i have three more question, but i think i've mad my decission...

-ok does the logo 103D have a driven tail, so i can do autos?
(im pretty sure the 14 does)

-can i use the 9650 on the tail for the logo 10 3D?

-can anyone suggest a different ESC, the JAZZ are nice but for about 230.00 there a little pricey, and i've heard bad things about the CC HV's

[MrMel]

Nope, Logo 10 3D dont have a driven tail, but it autos well without it, but you cant control the tail though.

9650 is good for cyclic, but not for the tail, either 401/9254 combo or 611/9256 is good choices.

ok thanks. is there anyway to get a driven tail conversion for it?

[MrMel]

Nope, thats one drawback on the Logo's
Only L14 has the driven tail.

[wcc963]

Only L14 has the driven tail.

k thanks

Having no driven tail doent wouldnt put me off gettin the L10. Power to wieght is awesome, and i still do backward autos with mine.

230 a pop for a Jazz is certainly worth it. If you can spare the extra cash, it is a VERY nice ESC. Very nice features, easy to setup. I use to have a BEAT (older version of the Jazz) a while back, until i changed to Lipo's.

Im not sure what the full story is about the CC controllers, but mine has worked flawlessly from when i got it early this year till now (ova 100 flights). The cheaper alternative to the Jazz, and works just as well.

No, i wouldnt use the 9650 on the tail. It wont hold the tail properly, b/c it is too slow. Just stick with the 401/9254 combo.

i've heard stories of the frameware crashing aftaer about 5 flights. but i think i'll take my chances. i think im gonna get the Castle Creations Phoenix 80 ESC. its seems to be a good ESC.

There was a post on Runryder about the CC80 catching fire b/c it couldnt handle the load on a Logo20:

I would get the CC85HV instead, even though it's a bit overkill for the L10. Most people use the CC45HV.

DOing hard 3D on 6S with a L10, you'll hit peaks of around 65 amps max, which is well under the capabilities of the 45HV. Along with the Caslte Link set, it'd make a good setup for u.

ok im going to go with the logo 10 3D, now i want a NEU motor 1910-1Y w/fan, now will the Jazz 40-6-18 be a good ESC for this or should I go with the 55-10-32? im gonna be running a FP 6S 3700 MAH battery.

also, do you guys run a BEC, and if so what one?

wcc963, if you can wait about a month you could get your hands on the Logo 5003D, which "does" have a driven tail. All the other components are the same, accept you can now use full size servos as wel. :)
