Parts situation is beyond ridiculous

Is the 600se a good heli ? im pretty new to helis ... Dennis

The Logos are great, but the goblins are great as well. I have both. It's hard to say but I would go with the goblin. Never a parts problem and right now they are the stars.

You said you are pretty new to helis, what level of flying are you currently at?

The LOGO600SE is a 600 with longer boom and blades. Don't expect it to be a TOPsmack heli, neither is it a 700 size. But it is superlight and provides great flighttimes of 10-15 minutes while sportflying. It doesn't need parts and very little maintenance if you don't crash it. It has a very low noise level. I have my 600SE for a few years now and it never dissapointed me. It is designed for 10S but can take 12S with the correct pinion/motor.
I would look at your fly style / level when deciding.

thanks guys , I pretty much just sport fly with a flip or 2 thrown in , learning 3d , had some eye issues , had a operation tues , already can see better , currently fly a 700 align v3 , align 600 , need the bigger stuff , 600se uses 696 blades , kinda a 700 size , a guy at our field flys makado , super smooth helis .....

video above kinda ironic , flew next to Kyle at the Las Vegas fun fly ....for some reason everyone was watching him and not me ????

If parts were readily available for both. And you're no absolute smack pilot, i would choose the logo any time. And i have both.. True the goblin looks so nice and is one of the best looking heli's out there atm, that's why i bought it too. But the logo is just a solid, flawless machine.
That being said.. The parts availability is a real shame. I'm lucky i live in europe and parts are no problem. But i would understand you going with a goblin for that reason.

Because you already have the other helis, and you can always get parts for an Align .. I would say if you're OK with possibly having the Logo down for a few weeks then go with Mikado. Goblins are awesome machines but IMO are more oriented around smack flying - they have an aggressive (though not loud) sound and are a bit intimidating, whereas Logos are ridiculously smooth, great all around birds.

It's all subjective, though. Apart from the objectives like parts availability and price, it's just going to come down to personal preference, which you have to decide for yourself. Or get both.

You can't go wrong with the logo600se for your fly level, but it isn't much bigger in the air then the align700. As said above, its a supersmooth maintenance free chopper.

I am not a 3D flyer and I think my Logo 600 SE is a great Heli. Super smooth, quiet and reliable. I run mine on 12S, 2-6 S 5000 mah packs. I have my timer set on 8 min. But you could fly longer. 1500 and 1600 rpm.

I did not have any parts issues when I was building mine last year. It was used I had to replace some parts. I usually stock most of my own parts. I just just received a stock order for my 500SE from KSM.

I changed it up and bought the sx , now the waiting begins ....

It is my understanding that canopies should start showing up in the beginning week or weeks of October.

I have an assembled, but never flown Logo 600SE I've been meaning to post in the for sale section if anyone is interested. It has the optional Quick UK tail. 99% assembled. No electronics were ever installed. I think the only thing left to install is the anti-static kit.

PM if interested.
