Hi-
I'm looking to buy an electric Heli. So far I'm leaning towards the Logo. I'm just a bit concerned about flight times. If some Logo owners (10 or 20) could tell me what to expect I'd appreaciate it. I'll get whatever motor will give me the best flight times. Hacker I suppose.

Thanks
Mum

I get about 8 minutes of flying around on 20-2400s and a Tango 45-08. This reduces to about 5.5 minutes with 24-2400s and aggressive flight.

Use LiPolys and the flight times increase to 20-30 minutes.

Rob-
That's on a 20 or a 10? Also what pack config did u use wiht the Lipolys?

One config I'm thinking about is trying the 4/5 FAUP in a Logo 10. I could use a higher cell count and lower current.

Mum.

Sorry! I have a Logo 20. 24 cells would be a bit much for a Logo 10.

I haven't used the LiPos. Others have though and I'm jealous.

Yeah, the Lipolys are interesting. But I think I'll wait. Still too new and expensive for me.

But high cell counts on the 10 are still possible. Just depends on the cells. I'm reading that the Logo 20 has longer flight times. Could it be the higher voltage/lower current?

So....
20 4/5 FAUP (1950 mah) = 780 grams
12 CP2400s = 720 grams

At 20 Amps the voltage of a n RC2400 is probalbly the same as the 1950s. Just a thought.

All other things being equal, I would agree larger helis have this advantage.
