Differences between Logo 500 and 600 3D?

[stvjeep]

Here is what I know about each (from the Mikado website):

Logo 600: 600/620/650mm blades; 3.2Kg and up
Logo 500: 500/520mm blades; 2.2Kg and up

There has to be more then this! What makes up the extra 1Kg on the 600?

I think the battery, mostly.

The rotorheads are different - the 600's is beefier. And the tailboom is wider too. I swear half the weight of the thing is in the flybar which is a very heavy lump of steel. I think it's part of a Mikado plot to make everyone go V-Bar.

And... my 600 weighs 3.6kg, and the A123 battery is 1.4kg. A slightly smaller LiPo version would weigh in at 800g so I'm sure you could get a logo 600 under 3kg without trying too hard.
