I GOT MY 600 KIT WOW!
Wait..... I allready have one, actually a few, whoa!, lol.
Sorry all the multiple "HYPE" posts about peeps getting their little rex 500s got me all reved up, lol. Oh the "new to the hobby" cheerleaders are overwhelming at the moment.
Our hype was a few months back but I don't remember so many " I got my (insert heli here) posts. LOL must be because an older more experienced or adventurous crowd gets the Logos? I dunno...... Well at least that is my assumption, I am sticking with it, we rock, lol!

That's to funny Shawn.... and your right we fly the best.
I've been putting my bird back together from that crash about 6 weeks ago. I'm making the wiring really nice and taking my time. Using the braided mesh stuff over the servo wires etc. Ran out tonight and need to order more. This heli is such an easy rebuild.
Haven't been able to fly for the most part. Cold, windy, rain etc. Today I said screw it! I got my Mini-Titan out in some 30mph winds, made for a very exciting flight to say the least.

Its nice to see another new build show up... been kind of quiet on that front - even after Christmas. I hear you about the T500 crowd. If the Logo parts started getting cheaper I'd bet people would start jumping over here but that always seems to be the concern when first looking at Mikado.
Shawn, I'm assuming this new 600 will be V-bar?

I think the reason its so quiet over here is the fact the heli for the most part is trouble free.
Many folks are always concerned about cost, I can respect that. Once you get past the initial issue of cost being a factor, purchase the kit, then start building it you will appreciate why they get a little more for the kit. IMO its worth it.

I was joking, I do not have a new kit at all lol. Just being like the new 500 t-rex gang and shouting out how I got a kit!! LOL seems there are 4 to 5 of these a day and all the pictures look identical, lol.

I should have read that one closer.:oops:
Oh well, I did finally paint my canopy tonight. Picked a few colors that might make it visible but my son might not be happy since he wanted me to keep it plain white and no stickers. At least it doesn't look like a T500.;)

Nice Bruce - I do like an orange bottom :roll: - anyway L600 canopy glassed up OK and ready for a paint - rather fancy the black & orange of the draft RF3.5 L600 but I fancy a bit more orange might be better for me !
PS - I think the cold's getting to Shawn - hope he keeps taking the pills :D

You know its funny, I was at my LHS and they had a T500. I got kinda wide eyed for a moment and reached for my credit card, I started to thinking I could have one of these damn helis that everyone has been so excited about! But.......But.......But......then for just a little bit more I could have a Logo 500 3d! Even if I didnt get the V-bar its still way better than the t500, sure the batteries are a little more but the heli is bigger and I already have a trex 450 v2. Why would I want a t500 thats just a little bigger than what I already have?
I think I'm gonna hold out for the Logo 500. I gotta wait until I get my credit card paid down a little bit, but hopefully it'll be soon! :lol:

Wow, some one who didnt get sucked in by all of the A500 hype? There are other 500's already out there, so why all of the fuss with the Align?

I just wished Mikado made a 450 size logo so I didnt have to buy the trex! I dont like getting the same damn thing that everyone else has! Just because everyone is doing it doesnt mean its right! I gotta admit, I think the Logo design is the smartest design I've seen yet. I still want a nitro but its lookin like a Logo for me!

If they do, I hope they don't dive into the 325mm sized "450" hole. Too many already there. I'd much rather they release a 425mm size like the "500" of the T-Rex. It's a much more interesting size.

The Logo 500/600 is so easy to work on and maintain.
I just finally said NO to tiny helis (450) and poor quality. I would wear out parts and links in about 20
flights:arggg:.
I have over 100 flights on one Logo 600 only replaced the pinion, main, and belt driver. Oh yeah, and a bunch of ESCs.
I did however get a 500. Flys pretty good.

My last Vstabi shipped with a CD that has the Trex 600 setup on it. How's that for Mikado trying to capture some of the Align market.
