both fly very well considering what their "mission in life" is...

the Joker is absolutely awesome and certainly one of the top line helicopters, wet or dry... The MFS head design (shared with the Henslit line of helis) is the key to this superbly engineered machines flying capabilities... It is clean, quiet, powerful, and unfortunately, reasonably expensive...


E-helis are really pretty cool...

Status: offline 		I learned to fly around on a converted 21-cell Shuttle ZXX last year. I still fly it but I got a Logo 20 in the Spring. Probably have close to 100 flights on it. Pretty darn good heli but not inexpensive. The precision of the mechanics is obviously superior to the Shuttle ZXX. It flies smooth as glass. Aerobatic flights are limited to 6 minutes or so, but those 6 minutes are very good.

Wouldn't trade it for anything right now.

Status: offline 		I fly a Logo 10 and it is a pretty darn good flying helicopter. I was surprised how well it flew and the speed it has. Not what I was expecting when I bought it.

I get about 6 minutes of FF, but just put a set os MS blades and a different pinion and hope this will increase my flight time some. According to what I have read....it should.

Not quite the torque for pulling out of a mistake as a gas...... you just have to fly a little different and smoother.

I have tried electrics before and sold them, but this one is a keeper.!!!!!!!

Status: offline 		I have an Eco 16, Brushless motor, 2-16 cell 3000 mah batteries, Had to do some mods to get it flying well, but it flies good, again the only douwnfall is flight time and power. I use it more or less to to show, and in the backyard when I don't feel like driving to the field.

Status: offline 		I have an ECO-10, I give it the 10 because I use 10 cell/ 3000
mah batteries,

Mega Brushless motor, going to upgrade soon to a Hacker B50-14L. The Hacker Motors have a little more get-up and go. I use the mechanical mixing, so I couldn't tell you the difference between Mech and CCMP. Has taken me some time to get it flying well, plus a few ugraded parts. I have only bought upgraded parts to replace the parts that I have broke. Everything takes time when you don't now what you are doing. I got some great help from a local expert to make the Heli fly really well. Thanks John

Status: offline 		I've had an EP Concept Hughes 300 and an Eco 8. I'm flying a Corona now with a brushless setup and don't even play with the gassers anymore. The Corona is fun to play around the yard with and you don't have to worry if you crash it. I've now got over 250 flights on it and about 12 good crashes. In all the crashes I've only replaced the tailboom once because I got tired of looking at the dent. It's getting over 10 minutes of hover with an inexpensive mega 16/15/3. I've been building RC models(cars, gliders, planes, helis) for about 15 years and this is the best one I've ever had - simple, inexpensive and fun!

...and an LMH heli and that glowing thing you see during an eclipse.

Status: offline 		Although I've got experience with glow motors dating back to the 60's, I've only flown electric powered helis, starting just under 3 years ago: E-LMH110, Piccolo, LOGO 20, Robin 280, Voyager, CP-Hornet, LOGO 10.

It's been a real pleasure showing off the nice flying LOGO 20 (and now the LOGO 10) for most of that time, even as a novice at first. Although they are more common now, back then as I attended fun flys, I was showing folks their first glimpse of an electric heli that COULD do the job And that was kinda cool. My decision to order one from Germany, back when they were pretty scarce in North America, was based on the answers to the question "what's the best electric heli in the world" posted by folks from Europe on the E-heli mail list. I took a leap of faith and.............. flew and flew and flew
