| I have now completed and flown the Logo 24. I have had nearly 15 years out of the hobby having started with the MM Lark and Schluter Cobra, what a great advance. The model went together seemlessly, with a few extra things that needed my attention because I did not have a clue what was going on. With no instructions and just pictures in the manual it was great.
I have a Field Force 6 Futaba gear, as I didnt know what to buy and it took me a while to understand the functions as the last time I did this there were only 4 servos.
Another addition to the hobby is the gyro, whilst it is great the first few flights were a bit hairy as the tail was oscillating violently. Eventually I found out the gain needed to be turned down. Oh well all those hours and gallons of fuel hovering all those years ago seem to have paid off although I am extremely rusty and cant seem to hold it in one place for long.
I have timed the hover without landing and it will maintain the hover for 7.5 minutes on a full charge, you will get another 15-20 seconds as the bades start to overpitch.
I findthe cyclic a bit twitchy however I assume this is to do with the head speed, any one got any ideas on how to make it less responsive just while I get used to it.
All the best
