Synergy E7 Build Thread - Page 4

Chris Sexton · 09-30-2011, 08:12 AM

I can't get a video right now, but maybe these pictures will help. This is my E7 with the RCBooya mounts:

I did have to ream out the holes in the canopy to make the new grommets fit. I used my dremel and a cone grinding stone. Took about 2 seconds on each hole. I caution you to cut slowly, you don't want to open up the hole too much or the mount will be sloppy and could rattle/vibrate and damage the canopy mid flight.

I used a dremel the first time, but like using this reaming tool a bit better.

Any flight videos yet?

Also, I noticed you had your active spektrum antenna shielded by the carbon frames, you might want to reverse it to the other side. I think the left antenna is the active end. See this post. http://www.helifreak.com/showpost.ph...7&postcount=12

Sorry wolf, I had a family medical issue and had to part out and sell my e7 to raise some cash in a hurry.

Thanks to a Very gracious helifreak member, I have been given a new e7 kit and a set of the new rail 693 blades!!!! The donor has asked to remain anonymous, but they know why they are and I am beyond words. My wife actually cried when the package came.

It will take me some time to get the kit rebuilt since I am still short on cash recouping from my sons expense but I will rebuild and have it in the air as soon as I can.

To all those who have asked, my son is doing well and loving his new wheel chair. Thank you all for your kind words. When I posted my kit for sale I was astounded by the good well wishes and pms about my son. This truly is the best hobby community I have ever know.

Look for more to come on my rebuild. I should be back to normal financially next month and ready to start buying new electronics.

Until then flying my Outrage 550 and spending time with my son.

What bag were the motor bolts in? I can't seem to find mine.

KJSnider · 02-16-2012, 10:55 PM

Like all the other screws in the other bearing blocks and assemblies, mine were threaded into the motor mount.

I think you might be confused on which bolts I can't find.

I am after the bolts that the motor attach's to the mount. Part number 100-412 M4x12 motor mount bolts.

KJSnider · 02-16-2012, 11:38 PM

Sorry about that. I think mine were in the motor mount bag. I don't remember having to look for them.

beans07 · 02-16-2012, 11:45 PM

Thanks for the information mate. I will keep looking I may have misplaced them.

beans07 · 02-17-2012, 03:02 AM

Definitely don't have them. Won't be able to maiden til next weekend now.

Chris Sexton · 02-17-2012, 05:14 AM

I could be remembering wrong, but I thought mine were in with the motor mount bag too.

That being said, they are just 4 or 5 mm hardened steel bolts. You can get some at home depot or lowes. Maybe even sears hardware.

Check your lhs. Check the motor box. If you have a scorpion motor, it probably came with some.

Thanks for the help lads. I found some large M4's that I cut down. Now just to program the Scorpion ESC and I will be ready to go.
