e-Mikado Logo 400 500 600 > Bionic: poorly designed?

Is it just me or is there no way to change the main gear without taking the frames apart?

Is it just me or is changing a servo incredibly difficult due to the inaccessibility of the nuts?

Is it just me or is there very little space for the radio equipment and wire routing?

Is it just me or is there no tail rotor control during autorotations?

Is it just me or are parts hard to get and take a long time?

Or is it just me?

Just by looking at the manual, it seems that removing the main gear is as easy as any of the other Logos. Loosen the shaft collar, push the main shaft down, push the black plastic thing under the main gear up, pull the pin out of the shaft, pull the black plastic thing off and slide the main gear off. Its was really easy to do on the Logo 10 and 20 so Im guess the Bionic isnt any different.

Is it just me or is changing a servo incredibly difficult due to the inaccessibility of the nuts?

Not really. Again look at the manual. Either a nut, or a hex screw is sticking out so you can secure what ever one is towards the inner frame and then unscrew the nut or bolt on the outside of the frame.

Is it just me or is there very little space for the radio equipment and wire routing?

I didnt have a problem mounting a 2 piece HH gyro, SPCM Rx, BEC, and speed controller in my Logo 10 and the Bionic definitally looks like there is more room to work with than my 10.

Is it just me or is there no tail rotor control during autorotations?

Yep your right about this one and Im kinda dissapointed that they left this out of their flag ship helicopter. Hell there are a few mechancial that I believe should be made of a higher quality at the price being asked for this heli(pitch compensator center hub, tail pitch slider, and for 800 the damn thing should come with blades too).

Is it just me or are parts hard to get and take a long time?

No not really. Helihobby, Fx Aero both carry Bionic parts so you shouldnt have issure buying parts.

Don't know if Mikado plan to stick it in future 24 kits but I know they have a new constant drive unit which will be shown at Nuremberg later in the week.
I am sure they don't mind that I have let the cat out of the bag a few days early, it's not a major product but should be a nice touch anyway!

Looking at pics of the new Logo 14 may give some clues as to what it will look like. Although, I certainly can't gaurantee that it will be the same.
