Any idea where I could buy a main gear (181T) for the 516? I've looked everywhere and so many parts including this one is out of stock. It's the only thing I need for my repair. Also, any idea when Matt will have normal levels of parts after transitioning to the US? I really love my 516 but I frustrated with the unknown as to when parts will be in stock.
Any feedback would be appreciated.

Looks like a lot of people have seen the post but with no answers. Do we know for sure that there will actually be replacement parts made? Any idea when? I asked Matt on his messenger, but not sure he uses the account anymore.
It would be good just get an idea of whether we should wait 2 weeks or if we are a year out before we have replacement parts. Until then my 516 is out of commission with no guess of getting back in the air.
If anyone knows Matt personally, I would appreciate you asking when we should expect parts instead of guessing. I love my 516, but now I'm second guessing my purchase due to lack of parts.

I'm waiting on a main gear too.

I have one at home, but not sure I want to sell it.

Well if you do decide to sell it, please let me know. I'd be happy to buy it at a good price. I can be reached at cponthier@gmail.com. Thanks in advance, Clark

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!
