I have decided to buy a cheap 550 heli in the mean time until Synergy parts are once again available. At least I will be able to keep working on improving my flying. Helilids is currently closing out their kits 20 % off . Get one while they last.
My 516 stretched to 556 was flying so well. A Landing strut failure on the ground on spool up caused the wipe out of the main gear, a set of Rail Blades and tail blades.
Sad thing thing is : I did not even get to bash it into the ground due to MY dumb thumbs. Would not feel so bad if I had done that, I now have a $1200 heli without parts support. Maybe; this is why the heli hobby is seems to be faultering.
You keep investing in what you know is good equipment and the next thing there's no parts support.
I have two (2) TT 50 nitros (Raptor & 50X) to fly until they meet their demise via a crash or lack of parts. That will be fun!
