Innova 550

[gabrielwong1991]

Just wondering any of you flies a innova 550?

i am thinking of buying it because it is quite cheap now and wondered if it fits a 12s setup? Cause i have a few 3000mah 6s lying around for my trex 500

Thanks,
Gabriel

Yes, they are quite cheap but parts availability is the main concern. If the inevitable happens, you will be waiting for weeks before you could repair the heli. If I were you, I'll consider other 550 alternatives.

We have two at our field,very nice helis and Hobbyking UK sell the complete range.

Very heavily based on Logo range in fact many logo parts fit them,same lipo area size as Logo carbon frame also so 12s not a problem pair of 6s 3000s fit easily.

Was going to say the same about parts. The Innova 550 & 600 are 75% copies of the logo 500/600 with the frame a simplified copy of the logo carbon frame. If push comes to shove a good chunk of the 500 3D and 600 3D parts can be used on the Innova. A number of people in the states were using Innova parts to fix their logo's last year while Readi Heli were busy imploding and Mikado parts unavailable.

You can get parts from www.rc-helicopters-cars.fr postage is not too bad either.

Hey sounds like its worth giving it a shot! I worry about the parts availability since KDS discontinued the innova line... But if logo parts are compatible why not?

What motor to choose for a 12s setup? I am a complete idiot when it comes to 550-700 size haha

[ChrisB]

It accepts Align 700mx and 750Mx motor sizes.

In a Logo ive used 450 to 530 kv on 12s,not sure what Innova stock gear ratios are though.

Main gear is 115T... its all depends on choosing the right pinion isn't?

[ChrisB]

Yes it does,just select the best pinion for whatever motor you chose for your ideal headspeed.
