piece of junk motor, so not try to fly this motor guys. I have yet to read of anyone getting 5+ gallons through one before it eats itself.

a gasser is a Zenoah motor. there is no equal! lol

Well I'm from the UK and I bought a N5C, and its a great quality heli I have to say!! But the distribution of Synergy products here in the UK is just rubbish!!
My experience is, when the TT parts and N5Ctt came out I converted my heli to the same spec as the new kit. Apart from one part, the new style canopy. I have asked and asked and pestered one of the reps about it but nothing has happened in what must be 10 months at least now since the release of the new kit. If i'm having this experience what about the people who bought a new kit and have had a bump and need to replace the canopy and can't. My model has just been sat there for this time waiting for the canopy, I sold my removed parts inclding the old style canopy. From what i can tell the company that imports into the UK does not seem interested in this model range... Its a crying shame because I feel its a great model but they can't be selling many in the UK with such a lack of support.
It could be time to get rid of it as it does not seem to be improving, And its just the reason why I got a trex700n rather than an N7.
0 out of 10 for Synergy in the UK....

have you tried to contact Matt and Amy directly? I don't see why they would not ship directly to you.... I order most all of my synergy parts from them instead of other suppliers, just to help support the brand. more of the money goes straight to synergy if they are purchase straight through Matt and Amy.

I understand you are in the UK, but check with Matt and Amy and see if they will ship directly to you....I am very lucky and only live a few hours from them. I get my parts the next day.

I have been amazed at the number of synergy machines I've seen at fun fly's. Even more amazed at the number of synergy nitro models I saw at IRCHA this year! I'd say synergy is growing strongly, and I think those that own them will agree there's no question of the kit quality or flight performance. Solid machines for sure;-).

I had some minor missing pieces in my kit and after screwing around a little trying to figure out what's up, in the end all it took was one email to the Botos couple and I got a very quick reply and Amy had the part on it's way ASAP and I was in the air in no time. I met Matt at IRCHA and he was personable and helpful. The whole Synergy team seemed to have a good time there. It looked to me like life is good for those folks;-)

Now we just need a gasser airframe to round out the lineup.

(That's a hint for those following along Matt)

The N7 will work as a gasser the OS gt15hz bolts right in. I'm selling my electric heli and rounding up the funds to put a N7 together too I'm not sure if I want to use the OS 91hz-r 3D or the OS 105 hz-r but one of those is going in there. Then I will have my N5c and it's bigger brother the N7.

do yourself a favor and buy the ys91srx. easy to tune, easy to break in, and a ton more power than any os motor. i used to be a OS guy and then i flew a YS91SRX. lets say that was 1 expensive flight for me cause i sold all OS105hzr and bought the YS motor for my 3 700N's

My OS 105HZ-R has been awesome since getting the proper high needle seat from Steve Helms at IRCHA. Many were machined oversized which caused a bunch of tuning issues and loss of power.

same here. its extremely powerful, more power than I really need honestly. I still may try a .91 one day, just to say I tried one though....

FYI, the high needle seat issue was only in the last year or so, so if your motor is older than that, it should have the correct seat in it....THIS IS WHAT I WAS TOLD, I DO NOT HAVE ANY DATA TO SUPPORT THAT STATEMENT...lol

[Jeff_Barrett]

If you're almost closed on the mid and about 3/4 out on the high for it to run half decent, you need a new seat.

I have flown the OS 91hz-R 3D and it was really nice. It was quiet for a nitro and the power delivery was smooth and it had plenty available. I flew my buddy's N7 right after Matt Botos tuned it at the snohomish fun fly and I was very impressed. Not to mention that all black motor looks awesome. But I don't want to close my mind off to other options and opinions from experiences other pilots have had.

Matt had my High needle all the way closed, and it was still too rich.....that incorrect seat really causes a lot of issues. they should go public and make a formal announcement and get people the proper seat. if you weren't at IRCHA, you wouldn't have known, and you wouldn't have the correct seat.....and that would suck....

[Jeff_Barrett]

Its supposedly public knowledge now. Steve Helms has supposedly notified Hobbico, but the right people don't seem to be getting the info.

I know he's been contacted again and he's supposed to talk to Hobbico again.

Synergy keeps the grass roots in this hobby alive!!Ashas been said Matt and Amy are great
people.Ive met them both Matt at Mid-Am funfly and Amy at Ircha. Oh and I've met Jeff at Ircha also.Matt even took the time to fly my heli and give me a few tips!
I love my E5 fantastic machine... Thinking about a N5 to replace my Tsa 600.!!
I have 3 550 class machines and the E5 is my fave..even over my G570!!

[Digger1973]

Matt is the only owner that hasn't avoided contact with a customer, at least in my experience.

I am taking donations to rebuild my original kit . I just finished rebuilding the used frame I picked up. Hoping to test it next weekend once then rx pack comes in.

[Commodore8888]

+1, on the off chance that something does go wrong, Matt and Amy are very quick to take care of it. It's really awesome being able to ring up someone at the company who can quickly nail down any issues.

Not sure if it's the same kit your all talking about, but I bought one from Dennis....climbing the walls waiting for it to arrive.

[Jeff_Barrett]

Awesome, Carl! Welcome to Synergy!!

[Digger1973]

Hoping to be flying mine in about an hour

[Jeff_Barrett]

Is this the official re-maiden, James??

[Digger1973]

It should of been. Lost interest in trying after I found the bent link. Hoping to do the official remaiden tonight after work.
