1st Synergy
« on: March 27, 2014, 09:58:10 PM »
My Dad taught me to fly RC Planes in 1971. When he passed in 1978 I got an American RC Revolution that he had partially built. I finished it but was unsuccessful with it. (still have it). Sometime around 1979/1980 I bought a GMP Cricket, which I was able to learn to fly. (still have it). I'm in the process of restoring my Cricket now. I was selected as a Field Rep for GMP and held that position till they went out of business. I then switched to Miniature Aircraft and represented them till they closed. I traveled the Competition Circuit with Robert Gorham as his caller/mechanic for several years. This month I purchased a Synergy E5S and am very excited about getting it in the air and being a part or the Synergy Family.

I looked at buying a cricket in the early 80s... just couldn't afford it. I had to wait until 2011.
And now I have an E5 and love it! Might have to get an E5s :-)

Hello Dave!

That is a cool story thank you for sharing. My father and I tried to get into airplanes when I was younger but my mom found ways to intervene. I wish we had gotten to do it.  He shows little interest in my helis these days.

Welcome to the Synergy family!  You will love that E5s. Just maidened one myself.

Let us know how the build goes.

Welcome Dave.


My dad taught me to fly R/C about 40 years ago on a Heathkit 3 channel system.


Enjoy your E5 and welcome to the Synergy family.


Cheers

I was 14 when I learned to fly using a World Engines Radio. My first New radio was a Kraft Sport Series.
