=] hi, Thunder Fighter //Dennis in here is the Man you need to speak to!

Lol, I just answered this on the vbar section of the forum.

I have a Vbar on the Logo 600 so haven't run my SK's with it, but it should work great.

I flown a logo 600, the main thing is the anti-static grounding strap.
I guess with the vbar it shocks the unit and bad things happen.

I can tell you first hand, fbl units don't like electrical shocks, or
Any weird electrical noise.

Anyone else done this lately? I bought a Logo 500SE earlier in the week and have a Skookum on the way for it. Only issue I've seen so far is the 'V-Bar' logo on the front of the canopy... people are going to see how well it flies and think it's got a V-Bar.

I've have three SK720's and their all on Logos (400, 600 and 600SE). I love them! I've had no problems and I love the fact that all of the updates have been FREE!. Also, the bailout has saved my babies more than once! They've paid for themselves!

Where have you placed the SK units?

=] its not too difficult Froggy, you need an over sticker that says V-bar less Fly bar less SK 720 FBL unit!!

@thefrog-
The standard positions. It's like any other Fbl unit.

Thanks. I routed all my wiring to the top rear area near the elevator servo. SK is still in customs so I couldn't maiden the Logo today..

here is how i mount my sk720 on my logo 600se

Some help with the tail setup please...

I have the tail set mechanically as per the Mikado manual - the linkages are at 90 degrees. This means there is some tail thrust against torque in this position. This is against the SK setup procedure, which requires mechanical adjustment to 0 degrees when the tail servo is centred.

I'm getting travel of 127% and 87% on the tail with the Mikado setup approach. If I set it up as per the Skookum method I should get close to 100%/100% but the linkages won't be 90 degree yet the available torque will remain the same. How have you guys done it on a Logo?

=] I like the sound of the zero pitch 100% travels, is the rear bellcrank physically a true 90 deg unto itself?

[thefrog]

Yeah, I'm thinking the same Georgi.. set it according to the SK. The rear bell crank is made with a 90 degree bend. I guess it won't make much difference - when it's countering torque in a hover it will be at that 90 degree position anyway.
