Nope, it's not on the Synergy Store website yet. I'll check back on Wednesday. It is good to see the category here on the forum. I wonder how many will be in the first run of kits. I hope it is enough so that everybody that wants one is a happy camper :)

Since it is $th of July weekend I was hoping that Matt would put the Pre-order up.
Nope, Not yet. Maybe he will slip it in on the 4th.

Not yet, maybe later today.

Well people eagerly awaiting the pre-order, the 4th is over and done. Still no word on the pre order.
Maybe the goal is IRCHA - 2 weeks.

Still waiting Rog? 8)
-
Yep, still EAGERLY awaiting the pre-order. :) :). I kinda want to be first in line. I hope that there is the same excitement and antipation with everybody that I am feeling. I was very impressed with the heli, not only in how it looks but how well It flew. I am well aware that the pre-order won't hit the web site until Matt is 100% satisfied that it is ready for sale.

If your number one in line I'm going to be number two. Can't wait to have a heli I can fly from my back yard.
-
There are a whole bunch of us that want to be first in line, LOL. It's great to see so much excitement about a new model, for sure.

Won't team members already have a kit when regular customers get to order?

I have a list of people to contact when I open up preorders as soon as final numbers are available. If you would like to be added to that list you can let me know by emailing me at sales@onlyfinehelis.com

Yes, I'm sure we will. I just didn't want to cut in front of you in line. ;)

I'm ready for this model, my daily flyer is down and sold my backup small heli to fund electronics for this. Can't wait to get back to having two daily fliers.

Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to make IRCHA this year. I guess I'll just have to wait until it's released to see it in person.

Sorry to hear that Alan

Yes AMain and only fine helis started taking preorders at IRCHA I believe. Matt did announce final kit price is $520.

Well, pre-order is in, dang it Matt..... ;D ;D ;D

Very happy to see a confirmed price for the kit.
Now preorders are opening with US retailers which has everyone hoping/expecting it'll be available soon.
Meanwhile any chance of the manual coming online?
Just a little something to keep us going until kit release date.

The manual is in the final stages of proofing and prep. We do generally release the manual a little bit ahead of the model but not quite yet. Keep an ear out it won't be too much longer. Matt revealed at the IRCHA demo that the kits are in production we are down to the final steps while we are waiting for the first batch to be prepared and shipped.

Thanks for the update Chris,
I'm keen as for this heli.
Shout it out when the manual is up, I've got eyes n ears on the forum and website

Kits in production = music to my ears.
Soon I will be doing the happy dance. I still need servos.
I have a couple of people checking with their contacts at Xpert
To verify the MI-3301HV M2 will fit. I have my fingers crossed.
Servo Plan B is to use a set of BK servos.

Xnova 4020-1350 motor and Scorpion Tribunis 120 are in da house.
I want to try the Tribunis integration with VBC.

lol ROG.
I have all except airframe and flightpack.
Will be interested to hear how you go with the Xperts on cyclic, they should be great if they fit.

The MI-3301HV M2 is not a direct fit for the 516, Rob said that you need ~42.5mm of hole spacing and the Xpert Mini servos are a bit too small, they will need some sort of adapter.
Shannon at OnlyFineHelis told me that he is working on one and it will make it available very soon after the 516 is released.
-
Yay, the 516 is now on the the Synergy website.
I am ready.
ROG
-
Thanks codepox. 👍🏻👍🏻 I am aware of the slight differential. I have a set of BK servos I can use to get it flying while I work on an adapter.
I am so looking forward to this build. I have a kit on reserve.

chomping at the bit! Bad memories of waiting for my 766.........lol ;D

Am I ready for that kit?
Bring it on!

Nice set up Wolf ^^ I've already have a Scorpion but thinking of just ordering the Xnova...

The 516 prototypes fly great with the Scorpion. Any particular reason you're thinking of getting the Xnova?
Sent from my GT-I9507 using Tapatalk

No not really, just been a scorpion guy for a long time and thought Id see what all the hub bub is about these Xnova motors...
-
Fair enough reason
I have a scorp 4035-560 in my E5s and its great. Just runs warm as scorpions seem to do.
Xnova 4530-500 in the 766 is excellent too. For the 516 I just decided to go for the extra power from the outset so I'm not wondering what it'd be like in 6mths time.

I have servos, ESC, motor, receiver, and Brain 2 ready to go. Come on, airframe...

For real just tell me one thing, will they be out before Christmas? :-X Killing me here....lol

I've already paid for mine ! I got it through Amain because I had store credit. They told me they're getting 6 kits. Now 2 are already sold before they even arrive and one is mine !!!
-
Nice feeling knowing you've secured a kit when they arrive.
Synergy insiders, any updates on progress toward release of the kit?

"They told me they're getting 6 kits"

The good news is that pre-production kits passed inspection and public kits are on their way. Thank you, everyone, for being so patient during this time consuming process!!

I was told that they were shipping to dealers today. I hope that holds! Preordered one from Amain yesterday.

My kit is enroute to me from HeliLids.

It looks like I'll get mine on Monday. It's actually in my area already, but UPS is usually in no hurry to get it to my local distribution center.

I won’t be able to work on mine for another week. I am on a vacation Cruise and New York City stay. Got off the ship this morning for a 5 day stay in the City. For sure we are doing the 911 Memorial and Lady Liberty.

Mine arrived yesterday and I had a look in the box last night.
Been anticipating this since the facebook reveal and was not disappointed.
Great design and the quality that Matt delivers ever time. Weight saving everywhere you look at the parts, I hear you Rob Cherry.
Really impressed and excited about getting into the build.
Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

The weight savings go all the way down to the hardware used. This is the first heli of this size I've ever built that uses so much M2.5 hardware.

Yeah, Matt must have a relative that makes 2.5mm screws. 😬😬

Build is complete, my 516 has taken to the sky. WHOOT!
