Are you strapping down your lipos to the mount as well?

Flew my new 516 today 3-10-18 for the first time. Its a smooth flying machine.
Glade to hear you got a 766 , I have my 766 setup as a 806 and its an awesome flying machine as well.
It a little intimidating at first, but after a few flights you learn  to keep it farther away.
 
Be sure to grease those rubber dampers in the head real well. Mine head dampers took several flights  to break in.
Let's  get together this spring or summer and do some flying either at your flying place or here in Kankakee.

Still waiting for decent weather so I can get this heli in the air.  I was 39 and very windy today.  Next week looks like a bust as well with cool temps and rain.  😩😩

Looks like we may get some 50's  late next week.
Still dialing in the 516 when the weather permits.
Is the 766 done and ready to go?
Any new news on the release date for the 556N ???

My 766 maiden did not go well.  I think a cyclic servo unplugged itself.  It was an expensive crash.  Blades, shafts, bearings, torque tube, tail box, one lg strut, boom wrap.  It is back together with the exception of the tail servo.  I had a brand mismatch between the tail servo and the cyclic servos I and decided to correct it.  The new servo should be here by the end of the week.  My 516 is flying beautifully.  I could not be more pleased with it.  The Synergy Team guys have their 556 kits.  Nothing but positive comments that I have seen.  I am doing a SWAG and predict they will ship to consumers right around the end of June.  Matt likes to get feed back from his team so that any last minute nits can be corrected.
