Safety Instructions
OPERATING YOUR MODEL SAFELY
Operate the helicopter in spacious areas with no people nearby.
! Warning: Do NOT operate the helicopter in the following places and situations
(or else you risk severe accidents):
in places where children gather or people pass through
in residential areas and parks
indoors and in limited space
in windy weather or when there is any rain, snow, fog or other precipitation
If you do not observe these instructions you may be held reliable for personal injury or property damage!
Always check the R/C system prior to operating your helicopter.
When the R/C system batteries get weaker, the operational range of the R/C system decreases. Note that you
may lose control of your model when operating it under such conditions.
Keep in mind that other people around you might also be operating a R/C model.
Never use a frequency which someone else is using at the same time. Radio signals will be mixed and you will
lose control of your model.
If the model shows irregular behavior, bring the model to a halt immediately. Turn off all power switches and
disconnectthebatteries.Investigate thereasonandfix the problem.Donotoperate the modelagainaslong as the
problem is not solved, as this may lead to further trouble and unforeseen accidents.
! Warning: In order to prevent accidents and personal injury, be sure to observe the following:
Before flyingthehelicopter, ensure thatallscrewsare tightened.A single loosescrewmaycausea major accident.
Replace all broken or defective parts with new ones, as damaged parts lead to crashes.
Never approach a spinning rotor. Keep at least 10 meters/yards away from a spinning rotor blades.
Do not touch the motor immediately after use. It may be hot enough to cause burns.
Perform all necessary maintenance.
PRIOR TO ADJUSTING AND OPERATING YOUR MODEL, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING
!Warning:Operate the helicopter only outdoors and out of people’s reach as the main rotor operates at high rpm!
! Warning: While adjusting, stand at least 10 meters/yards away from the helicopter!
Novice R/C helicopter pilots should always seek advice from experienced pilots to obtain hints with assembly
and for pre-flight adjustments. Note that a badly assembled or insufficiently adjusted helicopter is a safety hazard!
In the beginning, novice R/C helicopter pilots should always be assisted by an experienced pilot and never fly
alone!
Throttle channel should be in motor OFF position while powering up.
When switching the R/C system ON or OFF, always proceed in the following order:
When switching ON:
Position the throttle control stick (on transmitter) to a position where the LOGO 14 Carbon motor does not operate.
Turn on the transmitter.
Turn on the receiver.
Connect the motor battery.
Operate your model.
When switching OFF:
Turn off the motor (move throttle control to a position where motor does not operate).
Wait until the rotor head has stopped spinning.
Disconnect the motor battery.
Turn off receiver.
Turn off transmitter.

Note: Because the individual parts
of the chassis must fit very tightly to-
gether, they may be slightly difficult
to assemble. The reason is that the
finished chassis of LOGO 24 will be
veryrigid foroptimalflying properties.
Where necessary, please remove a
small amount of excess material at
the edges of braces #807 to #811
with a file or a sharp knife.

3 Motor Installation
3.1 Motor Adaptor Plate
Bag 1
Some electric motors (e.g. Kontro-
nik,Plettenberg motors)areconstruc-
ted such that they cannot be moved
alongthemotorplate.If youareusing
one of these motors, please use the
motoradaptorplate#2499.Theplate
is not needed for Hacker motors.
Please check from the Mikado
website which pinion works best with
the motorset you have (on
www.mikado-heli.com go to LOGO
14 Carbon and click “Motorization”).
When a wrong pinion is chosen, the
performance of your electric helicop-
ter will deteriorate and the motor or
speed controller can be damaged.
Donottighten thesetscrewfully until
the final position of the pinion on the
motor shaft is determined. This is
done after installing the main gear.
There are two options for attaching
thepinion:
1. For securing the pinion, you may
flatten the motor shaft where the set
screwmeetsthemotorshaft-without
making a flat surface on the motor
shaft.
2. Alternatively, you may screw the
set screw directly onto the motor
shaft. For this it is required that the
set screw has an appropriate rim for
engaging the motorshaft (all Mikado
pinionshavethis rim).Note,however,
that after attaching the set screw
once,therimbecomesblunt andmay
not be used again.
Pinion not
included in kit.

Itisessential that thetwogearsare
perfectly aligned. There is only one
position which allows for this align-
ment. In order to find the correct po-
sition, you must proceed as follows:
Place the gears on top of each other
and fasten them with two screws in
opposite position. Now check the
alignment of the teeth. If the teeth of
the two gears are not perfectly alig-
ned,turnthetopgear90degrees and
check again. When you have found
the correct position, fasten all four
screws. Very important: Do not fas-
ten the screws too tightly, as this will
warp the gears. Any such distortion
would be seen in a gap between the
gears.This has to be avoided.
Forthedoublemain gear,you must
use special motor pinions (not inclu-
ded in the kit):
