Thinking about Senergy E5

[heinz9]

I've been flying helis for about a year now. I'm thinking ahead for the next 6 months to a year I'd like to own a Senergy E5. I've been to the website and read good things about them else where. I have some questions about them. Where are they made? Are there any pitfalls in owning one or anything I'd need to look out for? Thanks in advance.

They are absolutely great Helicopters. Love the way mine flies. Great quality and very vestige design. It can be flown as a 550, 600 or 700. 6S or 12S.

Can't really go wrong with Synergy from what I can tell.

They look like they are very well made. Simplistic design with a low parts count. The CNC work looks outstanding. Seems to have well cut and polished aluminum parts from what I can tell from pictures. It sounds like a helicopter you can own and grow with. You don't have to buy any aftermarket stretch kit. Where I live though, I'd have to drive 45 minutes one way to fly a 550. The fields nearby are too small or have too many people popping up from time to time. Too dangerous. I wish they made a 250-300 class heli.

With most Helis you need a field without flying around the public. Isn't there a local helicopter club you could join ?

Speaking of the cnc work.. it is ourstanding! And beefy. Here is a pic of my E5 head I took for fun.. it's just beautiful.

Pitfalls??? It is difficult owning just one Synergy helicopter.

If you do buy an e5 I have spare boom setups for 550 and 600 along with rail 606 blades I'd sell you. They are brand new in package
