Logo 600 3D Flybarless & Helicommand Rigid for AP??? Any comments?
A friend of mine has had the Logo 600 3D with V-bar setup for a couple of weeks. I admit I got a little jealous when he brought it over to paint the canopy. My T-Rex 600's are great and all but Mikado has a little something going on with this bird. Approx 1.5 - 2 Lbs lighter. Hearingbone maingear is whisper quiet and tough. Tail drive has no gears, just a large pulley on the mainshaft and a pulley at the tail, with a couple of idlers at the front of the boom. Framework is literally 2 pieces. Right half and Left half. Moulded and super strong. If I add my Camera and mount to this heli it would weigh as much as my stock T-Rex 600. This thing is QUIET. Blade noise is pretty much all you hear.
Way I figure it you could use the flybarless heli kit and Helicommand Rigid instead of the V-bar electronics. (Helicommand Rigid $600 US V-Bar $700 US) I believe Helicommand has all the sensors for flybarless as well as a built in tail Gyro. Logo does not come with Motor & ESC. Probably cost $1000 more than T-rex 600 If you went with a neu motor and jazz esc but would include a good flight stabilizer.
IMHO this would be an awesome setup for AP. Am I missing something? Has anyone used the Helicommand for flybarless?
