New 800 ETA?

[helinutz]

Anyone in the know when the new plastic Logo 800 is due? don't need exact, just a rough idea so I can start planing components

[bikneli]

Really hope they have on display at least, at IRCHA. And maybe have release dates then.

unlikely, I haven't seen in on global 3D last weekend

what motor are you guys thinking? 45xx or 5035?

i've got a 5035-500kv on hand but it's a 12S motor. not sure if folks will even be running 12S on the 800 or if 14S is the way to go. still love my 800 xxtreme so the new 800 will be a nice addition.

[Mr.Andersen]

Personally i´m considering using a 5035 scorpion motor and most possibly a 14S version.
As of now i have a 5020 in my Logo 600 running 640s and it´s grunty in that heli even with old batteries.
I Imagin the wider spinning mass helps slightly initially when power is aquired and the wider can can provide more torque easyer then a smaller motor.
Maybe i´m compleetly wrong here bot that´s my thoughts on it.

I’m really hoping the Pyro 800 or 850 motors will slot straight in.
Got a 800-40 and Kosmik ready for it on 14S, just hoping the pinions will be available to fit that setup

Can size doesn't really have anything to do with torque since kv=>kt and units for kt are torque per amp.

The only factor that makes bigger motors seem to have more torque is that they have a lower internal resistance for a given kv. This allows a higher current at a lower effective voltage(throttle).

That is pretty much the standard setup for a Logo 800. The originals Xxtreme shipped with a 380kv.

If you fly aggressively or with higher headspeeds, the Pyro 850 would suit a machine of this size much better.

I run a Scorpion 4540 400kv on my Xxtreme on 16S and it’s a monster. Can’t imagine what it would be like with 500g less weight like the new airframe.

That's what came in my 800 XXtreme "bundle".

Scorpion HK5035-380KV

14S

October 2019 in other words.

Kyle Dahl is testing the new 800 right now:

There is also a little teaser on his Instagram @kyledahlofficial
Some comments from Kyle: "almost ready" and "coming soon"

[Caeguy]

I wonder if the frame and canopy will be physically bigger?

[prototype3a]

I'm surprised that it looks like they're not going to use a larger main gear.

Lower frame looks taller than the 700 as I would have expected.

ETA beginning of december, according to this video:

What is going on with the main gear in that video. The whole geartrain area looks highly modified (non-production)?

The pic is a screen grab from the FB video.

[prototype3a]

Sharpest image I could grab... I wonder if the texture of his jacket is confusing you.



Stock render? of Logo700



To me, it looks identical to the 700 except for a smaller pinion.

[cudaboy_71]

That’s it. His jacket is the same color as the plastic in the sun. Was throwing me off.

[Thickfog]

Hmm. It looks like the 700 all around expect:

Lower frames
Boom
Struts
Canopy

What else?

Wonder if we could make a 800 out of our 700s cheaply.
Gotta love logo modularity design and parts sharing. Probably why I own 6 of them.

[prototype3a]

To be honest, I wouldn't mind getting an 800 and cutting it down to a ... 720?

The current 700 logo can fly 720.
