Wow this thread has come a long way from welcoming a new Synergy owner
As for being a rep, I am more of the type to wear my colors with pride, fly the crap out of my Synergies and tell everyone who asks why they are my favorite heli. I don't need the "Team Synergy" title to spread the good word. I would love to have it, don't get me wrong, but I too have a bit of a reputation on other forums. My Reputation revolves around the number of helis I buy/build/sell.
I love to build and setup helis, but more than that I need to experience things for myself. If I see something posted about a particular heli that intrigues me, I will buy one and build it just to try it myself. I have always been that way. I make no excuses for it, it's part of my hobby. Because I am not made of money, if I want to try something new, something else normally has to go, simple economics of my hobby.
Because I have experienced so many helis first hand, I get asked A LOT which one is my favorite, I get asked to compare them, I even get asked why I sold one or another. I happily answer the questions. I love being asked to help with heli setups or build questions. I have spent more time at fun flies helping with setups than flying, but again, that's part of my hobby. Some people enjoy "wrenching" some don't. I happen to LOVE it!
Because I have such a diverse heli fleet, I may never be an official Synergy Team Pilot, but I will always consider myself part of this wonderful family. You will see me wearing my Synergy Blues while speeding down the runway with my TDR, or almost losing my Goblin in a corn field, but I will always make it known I love my Synergy Helicopters.
Hats off to you Matt and Amy, you have built one hell of a heli family here!
