Logo 550 carbon frame

[bothma]

I've had some Helis in my time but never a Logo upto very recently, Forza sold me his 550sx and what's the first thing I do? Treat myself to a set of carbon frames. Although I love to tinker I'm now seconded guessing myself........ So my question is, have you changed your frames from the plastic to the carbon and what improvements if any did it make to the flying characteristics?

No improvements...yes they withstand crashes better but when you need to adjust motor to change belt or shim stuff its a major ballache.

Plastic frames all the way for me

The main advantage was a larger battery aperture and a 3rd bearing support on the main shaft. As Nick says it's a pain to adjust compared to the plastic frame. They are about 200g heavier. The sx style setup takes care of the 3rd bearing support on the main shaft and the plastic frames are great. I wouldn't sweat it go and enjoy.

Plastic all the way,the 550SX (as all plastic Logos) is just amazing.

Been flying my Aligns mainly lately but this weekend flew my 600SX and its just on another planet altogether.

Told you Pete, it's not a proper Logo if it's not plastic.

Personally I think the money would've been better spent at Hobbyking

Knowing Pete I think the money would've been better spent on spares

Plastic Logo's all day long , im on my third 600SX and Ive had 3 off 550's and have never been a fan of the carbon frame. Im now waiting for the 700 plastic version!

There's no difference in performance or flight and the flight time in the air is the same as a plastic one .

[philipjdall]

I'd actually go as far as to say that it is more of a downgrade than an upgrade... It weighs more - how can that be a good thing on a logo?

Ps. Yes I have tried it.

So it arrived today along with a 600 SX He,he!!

As I recall Don you had a bit more of the ground effect then me this year LOL!!

I killed my 700E Dominator (total re-kit) hurt the 700n and the 600n DFC killed it self....... But hey I got a new 700E Top out of it, lots of time in the man cave and two new logos

[GIXERMAN]

that will make the logo look so much nicer under the hood
