Is there anything you folks would like to see improved or changed on the Logo 600 3D V-Bar to make it better than it is now? What would like the next top-of-line Logo to have?

nothing really... the kit doesen't need any mods or changes to speak of. Tourque tube tail drive and a solid metal tail case structure eventually would be a nice feature, that's about it.

...Once upon a time there were Nitros, flybars and frequency pins...

I think the 3d kits and vbar kits should come suppiled with the carbon rear gearbox.
And lol
The FG canopys should be made a bit strounger around the mounting grommets and the section that hooks around the skids. It would only take an extra layer of mat in those areas.

I love my flybarred L600. A V-bar upgrade is definately on my shortlist.

600 in general:

It would be nice if the frames were a little stronger where the landing gear attaches. It seems that area could be made more robust without compromising performance at all.

A bit more protection for those $500 10s and 12s lipos might be good even if it were offered as an option as the carbon battery tray is for the L10, etc.

+1 on the fg canopy.

V-bar:

V-bar components are too expensive. $450 for basic system electronics, $150 for the head, $120 for Bluetooth, $120 for the control panel. It's only a matter of time before somebody figures out a way to offer these products at a subsantially lower price. The same principle applies to many RC heli products. $400 for a speed controler is absurd. That is begging the Chinese to reverse-engineer and steal the technology - and they will.

Then we might all be flying crappy Chinese stuff instead of the elegantly refined and sophistocated German products we've come to know and love so much.

Just some thoughts.

Nylon bolts for skids as standard.

Manual updated with full parts available and errors corrected in build instructions.

One way grease and silicon grease as standard would be nice.
LOL

Yeh nothing really major.

I have pics of where holes need to be cut in the frame so servo wires can be routed neatly and cleanly. It would be nice if it was already done to save an hour with the dremel tool. I would also like to see something other than plastic belt pullys in the frame only if a tt isn't in the cards. Better instuctions and no parts left over because it makes me think I missed something.

I would like to see stronger frames with better lipo protection. A smoother drivetrain for better autos would be great.

Lighter overall weight might be nice too, although that contradicts the safer/stronger frames

How much lighter do you want it? If I am not mistaken, it is the lights 600 out there I would like the hole cut in the frames also as I have done it and it does take some time but it looks great. I also like the "no parts left over" thing also.......Ron

It still weighs more than my 600N so I think it could lose a little weight. The 500s power to weight seems much better than the 600.

... although I realize weight isn't everything

For a long time l`ve been thinking that l have enough power now not to need a canopy that l can destroy by looking at it. The fibre glass ones l`ve seen are very thin too. Something along the lines of the raptor milk bottle stuff would work for me.
