Excellent pictures....looks like you built it in an operating room. So what about the flight report. It's an awesome machine isn't it?

What an excellent reply. You are the type pilot that really helps promote our hobby and the brand.

Have fun with it.

Sweat!  I am jealous! Mine is about done.  Just need to go through the CGT750 setup to be sure it's right.  Unfortunately (not really) we are headed out on a cruise in the morning for a week.  So the test flights will have to wait.

Great build pics!  Very informative.  I tried using my Furion swashplate leveler but it wouldn't work.  Just have it eye balled for now.

Cheers,
Alan

Thanks for the kind words guys!

Since then it had minor issues with the tail and motor, it was slowly wagging and the motor felt underpower (could be a cold joint but I couldn't be bothered). I changed the motor to scorpion 4035-500 and increased the HS a bit more, it made a big improvement to the tail (and power), still need to do some fine tuning in that area but overall I'm happy.

I was disappointed that I couldn't go to the Heli Heat Wave 2012 (in Australia) to see the Synergy team. But I was lucky as there was a Matt Botos Night at our LHS post the event and had my canopy signed by the man himself




Put the signed canopy in the closet and had a new canopy designed to make it look sexier







Props to Justin from Extreme Heli for the support and bringing Synergy to Australia!
