Synergy N5C Flybarless Belt Drive Kit for a first nitro?

[Rodney Kirstine]

I use a lynx moas.  It does kind of float in the middle of the tank when I first fill it up but I've never had any fuel pickup issues.

im not really keen on ordering overseas and my 2 shops (fast lad and modelhelicopters) doesnt have any nice stuff for nitros... (or i just dont know how to look for it or what is nice lol... ?)

What stuff are you looking for? Midland helicopters and fast lad performance have everything you would need and some more, there is a search box on both websites.

[rimaarts]

ok... i know what is search... but i dont want to buy a filter which might go bad in 5 flights...

ok... ill put something together...

[rimaarts]

so... am i missing something? im looking for tail pushrod 78mm rods(107-078).. i have a bag with 2 ball links, 2 clear heat-shrink like tubes and 2 short rods... but those rods are only 30mm rods... what am i missing?

[Jon Mills]

The push rod in my kit is in with the boom.  I hope you found it. Let us know if not I know somebody will promptly take care of you.

[Jon Mills]

Fuel filter- If you can stay away from the plastic inline, they tend to break and leak IMHO.

[rimaarts]

so..  another question of mine... on a head block there is 3 holes... manual shows bottom hole used for jesus bolt... any reason not to use middle one? i would like to use top one but my main shaft is 0.5mm too long to use it in top hole... any reason not to shave that 0.5mm off main shaft?

p.s. i did not find those rods... they are cheap, ill just order new!

[flyalan]

Yes. You can use either the middle hole or the top one.  I have run both. You will need shorter links. Adjust the the swash a little lower. As well as the follower block. Do be mindful of binding of the swash at max throws when lowering it.
I don't recall needing to shorten the main shaft though. Have you checked the bore in the head to be sure it's clean all the way in?

thank you!

The tail push rod uses the 30mm rods not the 78mm rods. It is a typo.

[rimaarts]

emmm...huh?? well anyway i plan to jb weld those 78mm rods in, and put around 5mm shrink wrap on top of carbon rod, and also with jb weld and shrink it... 30mm seems a bit small for 600 heli, no?

[rimaarts]

hmm... i actually cant get one thought off my head lol... my n5c is not finished yet but im already thinking about a summer project... a 700-800 heli... is n5c more of usual 600 heli size, or is it like shortened 700?

would of course be nice to get different gearing for a 'stretch kit' (or os55 could not take 690 blades even geared for max head speed lets say 1700 instead of current 2100-2200?)

[flyalan]

Sounds like the Synergy N7 will be just the ticket then

Check out the tips and tricks section, a lot of good information in there.

Page A23 - Manual says to use 78mm rods to assembly Tail Push Rod. This is incorrect, please use the included 30mm Rod. If 78mm Rods are used, you will no have enough rods to finish the head assembly.

well.. i already got my 78mm rods... and made my tail pushrod around 10mm too long... so at least one bellcrank will not be 90* untill decide to swap out tail pushrod...

how much play should be in pinion to main gear?
