e-Mikado Logo 400 500 600 > Just got the latest version logo 10 3D kit...

Hello All,

I just received the newest version of the Logo 10 3D kit. There are a few changes to the 3D kits now.

The really bad part about the newer version 3D kits is that they took out the plastic parts that the 3D upgrade parts was going to replace. The following has been removed from the kit:
- plastic swashplate
- plastic hort/vert fins
- mixing arms (bushing)
- paddles
- tail rotor lever
- tail pitch (seesaw)

The new parts included:
1) New reinforced stabilizer control bridge #3037 instead of #933
(http://www.logoheli.com/bridge.htm)
2) New CNC 120deg Swashplate #2364 instead of previous CNC #2366

I wanted to install the plastic parts first and then install the upgrades after crashing a few times...

That's why it's cheaper to buy a 3D kit instead of buying a regular kit and buying the parts. They only give you the parts listed and not the parts you upgraded from the regular kit.

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Take Care,

Prior 3D kit version

I read from a few sites that the previous 3D kit versions had all the plastic parts, in addition to the 3D upgrade parts.

http://www.rcglider.com/Logo%2010%203D%20kit.htm

This web site changed its wording. It used to mention about having the plastic parts included with the 3D upgrade parts. I believe it was changed to reflect the new version'd 3D kits. However, the pictures were not updated. As depicted from the pictures, the 3D kit did include those plastic parts.

Oh well, this will give me more motivation to be extra careful with the heli. : )
I am happy that Mikado included the new control bridge in the kits though.

Cheers.

I put together a web site depicting the kit contents and the changes that I am observing.

Mikado has been superb in giving me info and awesome support.

http://rcheli.dyndns.org
or
http://www.rcheli.dyndns.org

For kit contents, there is a 3-D Kit Contents section. Just click on the Bag # and I made detailed notes on the changes.

For the upgrades included in the kit (also the new120deg swashplate), go to the Upgrade Parts section. I also put a note section about the canopy pins and control rods in the "See Note" under that part.

Please note that this site is still under construction.

Hope this helps.

Hey Jeff,

Thanks for the compliments. It's nice to know that people are finding the web site useful. I've been pulling my hair out the last couple weeks getting it squared away. I finally got the upload speed I wanted...w/o paying too much. : )

I am currently finishing the kit build and the carbon battery support came in today (thanks Fitz! from fxaeromodels), so I hope to put that build section of the web page soon.

This web site is by no means a replacement for other LOGO 10 sites...I just wanted to help provide information with updated parts, kit contents, upgrade parts, etc. I will also be doing some testing of more upgrade parts as well.

If you think it's missing anything, I am open to comments.

Thanks again!
