Logo 480 Xxtreme released in December!

[Bullfrog98]

Well the pics are a little small, but basically it looks like a Logo 500 power train with a shorter boom and a carbon frame.

It looks like a lot of parts have been reused from the existing 400 and 500 Logos which is not a bad thing (don't fix it if it's not broken), but it does detract from the wow factor a bit for me.

Having a Logo 400 size heli with a Logo 500 style layout is what everyone has been asking for but I'm not sure about the carbon frame. I personally would have liked a scaled down plastic version of the Logo 500 frame.

Still looks like a very nice heli though that addresses most of the issues people had with the existing Logo 400 (not sure about that servo geometry though on this carbon frame).

I cant wait to get my hands on a PDF of the manual.

This one I like!

Yeah I was hoping for a smaller 550sx frame cause the lipo looks exposed and cf frames are most likely $$$$$$... But it looks like they cut the weight down, only 200 grams more than a 400se and it's using a 4000 pack instead of a 3300. Would like to see flight time reports on it

[JohnDoe.]

Time to make room in the Hanger for this one depending on the price of parts because Mikado carbon has never been cheap. If I were a betting man I would say that it would cost less to drive in my 5003d or Se for that matter than putting in this one for a dirt nap.

Just when I thought I had enough Logos...

Yeah. You need to put the new cover sheet on your TPS repots first. Yeah, you see we are putting the new cover sheet on all TPS reports before the go out. love office space.

WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT...

[michael88997]

im curious on the flight time... the 400se was the same size but used a 3300, this uses a 4000 and weighs less

[Charlie R]

Full size servos or minis ?

[michael88997]

the combo comes with minis

dammit, just when i finally settled on a protos 500. still time to change my mind. it just takes so long to make a decision in the first place.

[michael88997]

just heard from RH the frames are CF... I wonder if they will protect the lipo in a noes in crash and how much they will cost...

[mr008]

Will the tail be driven in an auto?

[SMJT]

I WANT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[OnTheSnap]

OK I know Kyle is in China, but where is our Kyle intro video?! :-D

[Flydynamics]

Yeah before pre ordering a kit like this based on a 3D picture, I'd like to see it in video and see how it performs. I'd like to know the real AUW with 3300 battery.
Wait and see ...

[marcosp]

Barebones kit with blades is $650 vs a 550SX with blades as well at $550... WTF?!? Still love it and will get one.

[michael88997]

its cf vs plastic... still the 1100 for everything isn't bad, I want to see flight time, how well lipos handle a crash, and actual weight

[marcosp]

I wonder if it fits a full size tail servo as the 400 does.

Actually, recovering investment on costly plastic molds turns out to be more expensive than cutting carbon. So we've been told, right? No excuse, $650 for a stretched 500 class heli is expensive. They just placed it at the Goblin 500 price, which is expensive. Same they did with the XX700 comparing to a TDR... or was it the 800?

Having said that many of us will still buy one, kudos to Mikado. I am 100% sure I will.
