Where is the C.G. of the logo 10 without batteries? How about with LiPo's? Anybody having any problems with this? I'm guessing that it is "aft" of the main rotor. If this is true, it might be possible to use this bird for a "micro" sized video camera, mounted to the front. Am I fishing here?

It is definitely behind the main shaft w/o the battery pack. If you mount the t/r servo on the boom it will give you tons of leeway for battery pack positioning and, thus, COG adjustment.

Since most folks seem to need their battery packs pretty far forward to get the COG correct, it should be no problem to add some camera equipment weight forward of the main shaft.

My Logo 10 seems to be an oddball when it comes to battery placement. Both my previous 14-cell round-cell packs and my current 5S4P LiPo packs need to be all the way back to the rear of the rear landing gear strut. Most folks seem to need it much farther forward than that. I must have a light tail setup some how. I had to mount my t/r servo on the boom in order to move my packs back far enough.

So, to answer your question, yes, proper COG should be easily obtainable after adding some video equipment.

Cool. Thanks John. It looks like it will be a while before I get my Logo, so I'm just getting as much of an education on this thing as I can. I bet it's nice and warm out there in Albuquerque. It's been friggin cold here. Can't do anything outdoors.
