Synergy prototype flight test

Yep, the Synergy is up in the air and it is tearing up the sky.

Today I watched a video of the Synergy doing wild 3D. JK, the pilot did a no hold bar, full on 3D test with the model. The model is very, very fast on all axis, forward and backward flight is unbelievabley fast. The model tracked well at high speed, there was no sign of being pitchy at all. It locks into piroflips, knife-edge, kaos etc., and can take extreme maneuvers.

I was given a full run down of the different types of flight configurations the model can be set at. In addition, I was given a detailed break down on the drive train, tail gear box, engine mounting location, types of materials used and other very interesting aspects of the Synergy.

TB and JK are keeping the parts count at a very reasonable level.

It is evident that JK and TB put a lot of thought in their design of the Synergy. Their meticulous approach to research and flight testing will enhance the end product.

IMO, they are using the correct approach. They are testing, modifying, re-testing to ensure the buyer gets the best product, for the best price.

When it is released the model is going to be a show-stopper.

not to rain on the parade or anything here.... but all that is in the pilot...

especially the pitchy bit. JK and TB make a fury look like it's on rails. you wouldn't know it's pitchy 'till they told you it was. and even then, you may not believe them

you need to get your hands on it and play

Pitchy??
It's all in setup, dude.
Put some flybar weights on with the white paddles and it won't be pitchy. Increase the headspeed and it won't be pitchy.
Put some heavier paddles on and it won't be pitchy.
Just some suggestions, fyi.

weights and heavier paddles slow the response.

it still would be pitchy, but since the flybar and paddles would now be heavier it will just do things a bit slower.

changed the paddles completely and it won't be pitchy.

i fly 1950 on the extreme. it's still pitchy.

Jason was telling me about a guy who he brought to the feild to fly the Synergy with...you dont happen to be him do you?? im guessing you saw the painted canopy on the video..i hope Jason had it painted for it...i like the canopy...its different, but i like it alot.

Jason also told me that he doesnt want to make a V2 Synergy. it will be a no problems at all kit..just build it, and beat the hell out of it..im sure it will be to.

an other usless post about the "magic" synergy.

until you can buy it and see it in the public it's all for nothing. anyone can post a "review" about this thing... no references or credibilty here.

not only is this an arrogant statement it is also stupid. biggest cooperations come out with improvements and updates. and there is nothing wrong with it. the only way to test a product 100% is by putting it on the market. no way around it.

you mean it locks and flies just like any other heli out there in the hands of a pro ? woohooo... that's some news there.

just start selling that darn thing and we'll see how it will do.

what signature ?

There has been talk about the new Synergy from select individuals just for promotional purposes to keep the chatter going.

Hey flmgrip, this part of the forum is for people interested in new and emerging helis.

maybe Mark can start a forum for sad old pessimists

Here's some topics for you

Whats the worst heli you ever flew
Why experience counts for nothing
Lets keep things as they are
Aren't policemen looking young these days

if your going to just rip on a heli youve never seen before, dont. Ive seen pictures of it, and talked in detail about it with Jason. Prototypes of the heli will be sent to certain people to continue the test flying.

Whats your reason for trying to bring down a new brand of heli??

his point was not to "rip" on a new heli.

i don't think he's trying to destroy it. let the heli do the talking..... i would think that's what he meant.

like he said. it's not magic. it's a helicopter. revolutionary??? perhaps, but what can you do? really.....

eh ok..... but this is what they do with all helis...

as neat as that would be, i don't find that too likely. even an eagle 3 got some bothers. just how it is. you can't catch everything. if you could, there would be no need for a new heli.

he's spot on here, so there is nothing to argue. if you want to call this "ripping" then so be it. but it's not.

again, he's spot on. this is not "ripping" on the machine. if you'd really really like to call it that then ok..... but again...... it's not.

i suppose he could have worded things a bit differently, but he didn't.... so? not a big deal. you going to say you word everything perfectly?

or perhaps he just didn't care how it sounded and he didn't have the patience to do it differently...

can't we just keep a bit more of an open mind?

Lets face it, we haven't seen it, haven't flown it so where's the argument? The facts remain that a couple of capable guys have set out to produce a heli. This should be a good thing, because we all like helis

I like the statement he 'doesn't want to do a V2'. It indicates a certain respect for his new customers. I don't see why that statement should be taken as 'unreasonable' and jumped on.

I'm not trying to defend the heli, I've never met JK or TB, but there isn't enough info to be taking such a strong view yet.
