Synergy E5 - Information Thread

[Chris Sexton]

Hey guys,

I am about to go 12S on the prototype using 6S 2700mah Thunder Power packs and the Scorpion 4035-630

I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks,

Matt

I love the idea it "can" do 12S, but I want to see how if flies on 6S. I am hoping this can replacing my X5, not that I am loosing love for my X5, but it is aging, over 300 flights, and I am thinking of a replacement. A 6S E5 would be awesome

Agree with Chris.  Versatility like that is nice on power options.

I've reached a point where I think I know what I want now and can dramatically thin my fleet.  E5 is a key component.

1) Micro mcpx stays for around the yard
2) 550 for park flies, main beater
3) Anything bigger is nitro, n5C hanging on the wall to fill that role.

Not to start a war but since a lipo burned 100% of my house down in 2010 I just dont like HV electric setups much.  I know battery tech is getting better, but anything HV is going to be nitro for me (at least for awhile).  Everytime I plug in my Furion 6 flight packs I kind of cringe.

It's rare, not typical, and definitely do not want a war on electric vs nitro - but when this happens to you things get wonky.

Hmmm.....looks like some action shots on new Facebook album...?  Might just be e7, hard to tell

I am down for one of these by the sounds of things.
Matt, can we get a final drive ratio and possible available pinions?
Want to start looking for motors.

Need some pics please.

Any status updates on this baby? ETA?

[steffgiguere]

Matt had hoped for IRCHA, but thinks will not be ready. But Matt also said shortly after IRCHA, I'm hoping for October.

[mrtnnicholas]

Sweet. Can't wait!

[Matt Botos]

Canopy is mounted and the prototype E5 is ready for a photo shoot! As soon as I get back from Seattle I will try to post up some pictures!

And of course it will be at IRCHA for viewing too.

Thanks,

Matt

This is news I have been waiting for! Since I'm starting over from scratch after selling all my helis 3 years ago for a move across the country, I can begin buying all the gear I need.

Are you going to let us know recommended motors, electronics, etc. to get ready for the release of the E5? I plan on getting the transmitter, receiver and collecting tools and set-up equipment, PS, charger etc.

I'm really excited to see the photos. Have fun in Snohomish! I moved from SW Washington to the Mobile, AL area to advance my career, so I know the area well.

Only for viewing or we will see it fly.

OH I would imagine he will have it flying. He put on a good show with it for us in Cincinnati.

I have Seen This Bird Fly Many Times and It is all That!! Reminds Me of a Jack Russel trapped in a Big Dogs Body. Matt really pushes it hard and it takes every bit of it...   I'm Sure He will Fly it!!

I am so ready to see this heli.  Lets get some pictures on here

[SyNthetik]

Awesome! Woke up today to see the silhouette of the E5 on the Synergy homepage! I have been holding out on my leap from the 450 to a 500/550 class heli, and I'm glad I did. I will happily join the Synergy family as soon as this kit is available(gotta go 6S for now). I've read nothing but glowing reviews about the Synergy product, support and attitude on all of the forums. Matt, your doing it right, as is evidenced by your customers. Thanks and I hope to be in the Synergy ranks soon!!!

Matt, You are such a tease
