Before you power on the helicopter, you must ensure that all screws and associated hardware are secured. One single lose screw can cause the helicopter to become uncontrollable resulting in a crash or injury to personnel. Also it is very important that you must check the model frequently and exchange any parts that show signs of deterioration or wear. Failure to complete frequent pre and post fl ight inspections will result in fl ying an unsafe model and increasing the risk of damaging the helicopter and possibly injuring yourself and/or others. Use only original Mikado parts and electronic components which are recommended by Mikado. Always keep a minimum of 10 yards away from a spinning rotor head. Components that run hot such as the ESC and Motor should never be touched until ample cool down time has been provided. Perform overspeed maneuvers only at your own risk: overspeed maneuvers may overload the components on the helicopter and lead to damage/a crash/injury. Before powering on the helicopter: Never operate the helicopter inside closed rooms as this helicopter is intended for operation outside and may only be operated in sites where operation of Radio Control models is permitted. . Keep the helicopter at safe distance to any persons or live animals at all times. When trimming, keep a minimum distance of 10 yards for safety and never operate the helicopter alone. Always take someone with you, who can help in emergency situations. The helicopter must also not be operated in the following circumstances: • when children are present or in places where people are gathering • close to houses or in park areas • inside any rooms or buildings • places with limited space • in adverse weather conditions, such as rain, snow, hail or during strong winds • Near trees or High Tension wires Techical specifi cations which must be obeyed during the operation of the LOGO 700: • maximum rotor head rpm: 2100 U/min. • maximum pitch travel: +/- 12° • Length of rotor blades: 690 to 717mm • Lipo battery: 2x 6S 4.500 to 5.500 mAh • admissible temperature 5° - 35° Celsius If these values are exceeded, the electronic components may experience overload. This may result in damage or a crash of the helicopter. Before the fi rst fl ight, you must check proper functioning of the motor, the ESC and the VBar. To do this, please refer to the respective manuals. For safety reasons, these tests should be performed without mounting the main rotor blades and the tail rotor blades. It is advisable to fl y moderately during the fi rst fl ights. This is because you need to get used to the new size of this helicopter during the fi rst few fl ights. Do not underestimate the size and power of this helicopter. Keep a safe distance from the ground to provide for ample reaction time.

Do not under any circumstances fl y this helicopter if you are unsure of setup or assembly. This helicopter is not suitable for beginners. It is expected that you have some experience in assembling and operating an RC helicopter (model size LOGO 400 to LOGO 600, for example). You are required to adhere to the safety instructions of this manual. The LOGO 700 comes partially pre-assembled, i.e. the structural components are already screwed together. However, the screws are not yet secured with Loctite. Throughout the manual you will not always be asked to secure each screw. Nevertheless, you must secure all screws in all components yourself. In addition, it is necessary that you secure all other screwed connection, by which you will assemble the different components of the LOGO. We recommended to use securing glue Loctite 243 (blue). Please follow the recommendations of the Loctite manufacture and allow proper curing time for the Loctite prior to fl ying the model.

in the front ensure that the canopy sits well on the chassis during fl ight. have a guiding function. In the back, the canopy is attached by two rubber grommets. You will fi nd another, high-quality, set of rubber grommets included in the kit. You may use these, if desired. Important note: A special feature of the Logo 700 canopy ist that it the back part is fully closed. This back area is connected via two pins and magnets. Take your time when mounting and dismounting the canopy. Use proper care when sliding the canopy over the rotor shaft. Before each fl ight, check that the canopy sits securely. If the canopy sits too lose, this can deteriorate the fl ight performance of the helicopter. If the canopy becomes lose during fl ight the helicopter will crash. This canopy is 100% hand-made. Small irregularities in the surface, the airbrush design or color are normal. They do not constitute a reason for complaint Please mount here the edge protector strip (included in the kit) and fi x it with speed glue. In case the upper rotor head links are too close to the inner edges of the canopy, take out a few mm as shown in the picture.
