Mikado Logo 700 XXTREME - Default flight

I flew the Logo 700 XXtreme today with VBar Control on default settings - Loaded VBar Control default logo 700 model from Setup Wizard.
The default settings are very stable and locked in, not twitchy at all, so no worries. The cyclic\tail rates are low and might need to be increased for aerobatic flights.
* VBar swash setup geometry at 8.0 Degrees setup default (I tried this first, increasing it might increase your overall cyclic rates, but might cause blade stall on high pitch inputs).

At 1900 rpm with loading, Current(I) peaked at 120A. For me at 1900 rpm and +-12 collective pitch, the logo 700 XXtreme is able to perform all aerobatic maneuvers that i can do, and it is where the tail authority really kicked in! I did not require higher head speed, unless sound stimulation is preferred, but to each pilot's liking. 


The AUW weight might be a concern for some, but the Logo 700 Xxtreme feels very accurate with the VBar, it flies XXtremely locked in and predictable. It has good weight distribution, geometry, gear ratios and balance. Drive train is smooth like butter and produces a nice sound to the ears. Do not be fooled by the lower rpm sound, because of it's large mass, high torque and longer blades, it flies fast!
