Hey guys,

Rob Cherry shared this amazing video with me. The quality is absolutely fantastic!

Team Synergy pilot Chris Sexton is doing an excellent job at showing everyone the details of building the all new Synergy E5. Check out the Day 1 video!

The series can be found on Chris Sexton’s Youtube page.

Just a bit of fun with the N5c!

Check out some of the most recent E5 videos!

How low can you go on head speed? Well, 1000 RPM on the head of a Synergy E7 is pretty low and still very fun to fly. In the below video I am running a 6S 4400mah battery and getting 9 minutes of flight time. All of the electronics come down at ambient temperatures.

Many of you have asked me the question at helicopter events “You are still running T connectors?”.

My answer has always been… Yes, I am still running T-Connectors as I have never had any troubles with them besides the occasional “unplug” during flight. I realize there are losses with the T-Connectors but had yet to find a connector which I thought would be more efficient as well as provide a secure connection.

After a few more unplugging incidents I decided it was time for a change. After a little bit of research, I found that I did not want the EC5 which has the “rotating spring” type banana connector as I felt the lack of contact due to the rotating spring would give me just as much loss as a T-Connector. I did not want another T style connector as the surface area for contact was minimal at best and I had my fair share of in flight unplugging.

Finally I came across the PRC6 which is a solid 6mm bullet style connector. The 6mm bullet style connector has excellent surface area and they are beefy enough to handle up to 200 amps of current. In the R/C Helicopter world we only see small spikes of this high current so these connectors should be perfect if not a bit overkill.  The wire receptacle end of the connector is large enough to house a 10 gauge wire and very easy to solder. The connectors fit snug into their housing with a little bit of force and of course do not require any shrink tubing. The PRC6 mates with its counter part very securely to avoid any potential unplugging incidents. You can obtain your own set of PRC connectors at Progressive RC

Have fun flying! Be safe!

Wolfie came out of the forest at Birmingham this year to wreak havoc on modelers and give away Rail Blades! Check out the video!

This is the new OS55HZ Limited Edition with Velocity Stack. I’ve been running this motor for a couple months now and I am very impressed with the improvement in performance. The transition from mid-range to high needle and back during 3D flight is virtually seamless. The recovery time after loading the motor has also been minimized likely due to the new velocity stack. Grab one of these for yourself here!

E-Fest 2012 was a blast! See you there in 2013!

I will be posting all of the Tips & Tricks for the N5c on the Synergy website. The first post is up, check it out here –>  http://synergyrchelicopters.com/models/tips-tricks/n5c-tips-tricks/
