After a long wait, Mikado's new LOGO 700 V2 is in production. Deliveries start in Germany and Europe first, with other markets to follow. Mikado calls it "not just a face lift", and after more than a thousand hard test flights it's built for today's high-powered setups.
What's new
From the outside, you'll notice the lower stance, shorter main shaft and lower rotor head, plus a 30mm full-carbon tail boom with no boom supports. Inside, the chassis has been strengthened, and the torque-tube tail drive has been redesigned with aluminium and reinforced plastic bevel gears, finer gear-mesh adjustment and axial damping for the tube.
