766 landing gear on N7 mod.

[Danny Dugger]

Mike goes through landing gear too fast for it to sag. ;p

[alan]

I haven't had problems with sagging gear either. I also use the E7 gear on my old school N9 which is just a tad heavier than the N7. No problems there either. 
Danny is correct. Mike's probably not a good example...lol
Just kidding Mike:-)

wow looks like the 3 sets I've had and the countless N7s I've checked out in person all have been just bum luck. Thanks for clearing that up.

Convince? The only thing you've been able to convince me of is that its a Synergy slappyfest in here and you just don't want to believe there's anything wrong with you're precious Synergy. Well wake up guy it's one of the biggest gripes about the N7. So you are either in denial or are just that out of touch. I know it's hard with 100+ reps but try talking with people who own the N7 that aren't on the "team". Oh, and keep telling yourself the manual is digital so it can be updated easily. How many updates have wee seen on the N7 manual? Funny that Chris and Rob both run some spacers in the rear skid support. They must be imagining it too.


Thanks for your help Chris as always. I appreciate you going above and beyond with my past issues.



Later. Pointless forum.

Slappyfest... That's awesome.

Do you happen to leave your heli in the sun all day? I find that simply avoiding leaving them in direct sunlight helps prolong the life. I have a set of skids that are several years old that don't sag and I have had some that were only 6 months old that did.

Rob and Chris use the shims because they use the 766 skids. When they use the standard skids they don't use the shims.

I wasn't trying to convince anyone. Just reporting my years of experience with the synergy line.
Heat could very well be the variable here. Mine never stay out in direct sunlight for very long. I had faded canopies and booms.
I will be more than happy to post a pic of my N9 with the E7 gear that has been in place for over 2 years. Don't have an N7 at the moment.

I'll be the first to admit I've had issues with the skids sagging. That's why I run the 766 skids.  Spacers are needed on the 766 skids as they are lower to the ground and make the tail even more prone to touching.

[Danny Dugger]

It could have something to do with how people store them, too. If you hang your helis tail down on a rail by the back of the skids then they probably won't sag. Most of mine rest on their skids either on a bench or on the floor and they do have a tendency to sag over time. Keeping rubber bands around the back of the skids at home helps.

[Ben Kerr]

Good point Danny. I hang mine on the wall like you said. When I started doing that it did make a difference.

The best thing I have found to hang them on the wall is a closet organizer shelf from Home Depot. They are cheap and easy to put up. Just put the shelf part against the wall with the front lip sticking out and hang them off that. I have the same thing in my enclosed trailer and it works perfectly.

I just think it looks awesome. I've swapped out skids on both my e5ss and E7.
