| i have a logo 20. it's a pretty good heli. it flies good and is much lighter than a raptor (without batteries). how much it weighs with batteries and how it performs depends greatly on which batteries you use. with the latest LiPo batteries (tanics), the logo 20 can weigh less than a raptor 50, and have more power. flight times depend on how much battery you want to carry. minimum on tanics would be around 10 minutes of hard 3D. you could get 20+ minutes with more cells in parallel, but of course you sacrifice power to weight ratio.
as far as crashing goes, the logo is more expensive than a raptor. parts are also not as readily available. it's usually not a problem getting parts thru mail order, but you're not likely to find them at your LHS.
if you want maximum performance, i'd choose the logo. if you'd rather have cheap parts and a more durable heli, then go with an electric raptor. an electric conversion kit is available:
