Yes finally got the electronics mounted into the Logo 500. Due to bad stories I went with my trusty Ice100 until the Talon has better reviews. Changing the Scorpion motor shaft over to 5mm was a breeze and the V-Bar tuning was Easy. A few more little details and she will be ready for her maiden!

My buddies have had three go bad on there goblins. I've got wayyy to much $$ in my Logo to trust new technology. I pulled the Ice100 out of my Chaos 600, never had a problem with it. Using a Hercules Super BEC. How are you liking your L500? Any pics or videos?

Using a Hercules Super BEC. How are you liking your L500? Any pics or videos? The Goblin 500 just came out and it's too small for the 630 or up so it must have been quick failures. How did they fail? You can't go wrong with an ICE 100 IMHO. The thing I like about my Talon is the built in BEC Pro - way better than the ICE bec's. I'm loving the L500 - I'm just getting comfortable with it and doing the last bit of tweaking. I'm not the best pilot in the Chaos Lounge, but here is a video of one of my earlier flights (I am doing a little more than this now and hopefully will continue to add to the list of maneuvers).

I've fly with sponsered Goblin, Scorpion, CC pilots. I saw the Talon and G500 before they were even released. They have both switched back to the Ice 100. They were using them on their Gobler 500's. They had a fire, overheating, and arming issues.
My thoughts if your gonna be a beta tester on the new Talon at least run a seperate BEC to be safe.
