RC-Hangout

Here it is guys.. the all new 500 class heli from Synergy... Synergy 516! This is an all new design from the man himself, Matt Botos.. The 516 is the smallest Synergy to date. It accepts mini cyclic servos & a full size tail servo, 1350kv motor is recommended, 90amp ESC, & 3800-4500mah 6s packs...it is a true 500 class machine w a belted tail! Stock gearing is for a 2700 headspeed.. but as with all Synergy kits, there are motor pinion options as well as optional tail speed setups. This is a great machine.. it flys big! It’s fast! The Synergy 516 is also a great stepping stone for those who may have been flying smaller birds and wanting to get into a larger class or have their first build. Also, giving its size and recommended components.. one would spend a good deal less in initial investment & repair cost.. it’s just a great platform.
I know I haven’t been as active on here lately as I used to be.. what can I say.. life! I’ve been quit busy as of late starting a new job that requires shift work, doing family stuff, & trying to hit events.. so... now I know that I have done a build thread for every bird since my 1st kit, the 450 back on RCHelp... and every Synergy I have built... but I honestly didn’t think about it on this one.. our Synergy Factory Specialist however, Chris Sexton, did a fantastic job making a build video series on the Synergy 516 (as he has with all Synergy models). Here are links to his Synergy 516 video build series, demo flight & overview, the Synergy 516 product link, & some pics of my build. This thing is a ton of fun & I hope u guys check it out.
