Default I have to say

I am no fanboy type, I have flown just about every heli on the market and hands down my Logo has out performed them all. My Logo 500se started out as a Logo 5003D with a flybar and must be going on 7 years now. I have NEVER kept a heli as long as I have the Logo 500. I recently bought a Trex 550 and was flying it alot and really liking it. Yesterday I stuck it in the dirt and it will require a new kit so today I flew the Logo 500se and now I am on the fence as to weather or not I even want to get another 550 or simply get another Logo, maybe a 600 this time. After all these years the heli still puts a huge smile on my face every time I fly it.

I'm not eighter and have owned a few kits from a few manufactures. I always wanted one but never could justify the initial cost. Well after a bad experience with one of my "flagship" model in my fleet in decided to get a Logo600 3D. To make it short it's everything I hoped for. I even ended up getting a 400. Couldn't be any happier with Mikado.


I still have my "go to" Trex550 that I used for all my learning on and it has treated me well. Even though it doesn't fly as well as the Logo it's not going anywhere for now. For the price you can't go wrong with Align IMO.

Keep the other heli to remind you how good Logo one is

Seriously, it all depends on what you are after. If you just want nice bigger heli go for Logo 600. If you want to gain some building and flying experience you could go for some other brand. As long as you have fun it is the right thing to do.

I've been thru the entire align series less a few of the new models

By far the best heli I have had is the logo 600 3d running 12s and 623 mm blades

I built it with 603 s at first and was far from impressed. My trex 600 on 8 s would outrun it.

But once I bolted up the 623 s it was night and day difference. I find it flies more like a 700

Only downside I can find is that it needs more neg pitch in an auto to get it to come down. I have a 12s3700 volts pack (1100g).

Great balance of speed and power.

Its funny because I bring my Align heli's to the field and always fly them first. When people ask me if I am going to fly the Logo I always say that I save the best for last
