[paraglider]

Step 3 still does not work. Should be step2c_tailrotor.wmv not step2b_tailrotor.wmv

[Mathias]

Same here...

[Finless]

DANG TYPOS!!!!

Should be fixed... Sorry for the screw ups.

Bob.....

what is the size difference compared to the Trex 500 ??
When the build is done you must let us know which you prefer
Logo 500 3D or Trex 500CF.

I saw a pic a little while back with a Logo5003d sitting right next to the Rex500 and the Logo is a little bigger. It looked like the same size as the Huracane, spins 550m Blades :D

Is that right Bob?

Here's some pics to show the size differences. Not that the Logo is swinging 560s here.

[LITHIUMSTATIC]

The Logo 500 is a lot bigger than the Rex500. It's more like a tad smaller than a Rex600.

[Antony Konnarides]

Yep... it sure is bigger than the T500.
Thanks guys.

Hay Bob what happ'nd to your left thumb? Looks like ya burned it or something. The build looks good. The mikados have a sweet looking frame.

[doeni]

Can't wait to see more building steps

Can you tell me which components you will be using?

greetings Daniel

Looking good Bob. Yea not that it was needed but I did change out my bearing block bolts to 12mm just as a peice of mind thing so that I knew they were through the nylock portion of the bolt. I have a few friends that simply used what was supplied and no one has had their back out or anything. :wink:

This really is a nice looking heli. I'm seriously considering getting one for myself :)

One thing that turns me off though, are the tail blade grips. I mean, why in the heck would they use plastic molded-in balls on the grips instead of a screw-on metal ball??? Seems like a very "cheapish" way to do it on an otherwise well designed heli :confused:

Still, looks like an awesome heli for sure! :smokin:

[Mercuriell]

They work VERY well - Mikado plastic a bit different from some of the cheap Chinese stuff - plastic generally lighter than metal as well as keeping the costs down.

[Finless]

Yea I gotta agree... other than sanding the seam.... These molded balls are not going to be a problem!

Bob, I am (a total noob) presently learning on the 450SE V2; am seriously looking at the Mikado for my next build. So I have some questions: Why did you go with the 500 over the 600? Would the Logo 500DX be a good choice (I don't know if I'll ever get that enthused about 3D flight), or better to go ahead and get the 3D version for the little difference in cost. OR go with the Trex 600??? I am more interested in sport flying and getting into scale flying. BTW, your vids are just great and most helpful. Thanks for all your efforts! :thumbup:

[bladebraker]

YES!! Great vids!!:noteworthy:noteworthy cant wait to see the rest. Now all we need is a vid for the V-Bar:lol:

Thanks John.... Because my hand is screwed up I cut and pasted and screwed it up!

So you know I turned down surgery on simi recommendation from the Doc. I tore fully one fingers ligament (the 3rd fingers ligmnent is completely gone). No bone chips. I know it will be years for my hand to be the same but I made that choice today.

Holy cow! Something recent, or an old injury? I hope your finger gets better, and more importantly doesn't get in the way of your flying!

Good luck with that, Bob. :hug:

That sucks Bob.... No matter what I'm sure you will stay strong and adapt fully.:thumbup:

[Bullseye]

Bob,

These videos are great. I'll consider this an early birthday present :)

[Finless]

Shooting more vids tonight :)

Will be up tomorrow!
