Logo 700 Build/Setup

Hi All,

Just thought I would share some pictures and build info about my new Logo 700!

Setup is as follows:

Kit: Logo 700 (Stock kit)
Motor: Scorpion 4525-520kv w/ 6x55mm Shaft
Pinion: 14T
ESC: Scorpion 160HV Commander Opto (Will switch to Tribunus once released)
Servos: Xpert R1's for Cyclic, Xpert R1T for Tail
FBL Unit: V-Bar NEO w/ Pro Software
Batteries: Thunder Power 12S 5000mAh 70C Stick Pack
RX Pack: Thunder Power 2S 1350mAh
Connectors: RCProPlus S6 for main batteries, RCProPlus D4 for rx pack
Blades: VTX 717, Edge 105SE Tail Blades


For flying parameters:

Collective Pitch: +13^o/-12.5^o
Cyclic Pitch: 8.3^o
Agility: ~108
Gain: ~67
Tail Gain: ~70

As far as the optimizers and expert values, they are almost stock. I have not adjusted them much.

RPMs: 1400-1800-2160

Build/Setup Tips:

For me, I decided to hard mount all my servos, with doing this, all the servos need to be properly spaced forward to get the geometry correct again. I used the plastic servo spacers that Mikado used to sell with the 500/600 kits. They provied the correct spacing and make installation very simple.

In regards to the head damping i have chosen the existing setup from the old 700 XXTreme: 80-80-90. The 90 durometer damper is on the outside.

One other thing I came across was the tail pushrod seemed a bit on the long side. I would suggest trimming it down 5mm before you glue the ends on. I had to move my servo horn one spline to compensate for the length.

Overall, it is a very very smooth build. From opening the box to being ready to fly, it took me about 7 hours. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask!

Thanks, Jesse

Hi Jesse,

thank you for sharing

What weight do you get, with this setup and the batteries fully charged?

Cheers

Hi Eddi,

With this setup, its right around 5.6kg or 12.5 lbs. These batteries are a bit on the heavier side.

But it flies very well, regardless!

Thanks Jesse,

now all we need is a Kavros style video, with nice scenery and unexpected viewing angles

Send greetings to iDad, will you?

Best,
