Looks better with the boom wrap ! But apart from that it looks crap sorry ! More like a transformer/power ranger from the front lol !

Thanks for the info G but with Rob on this one doesn't appeal in the styling department for me.

Will probably be a bit 'Marmite' but I love Marmite and I think this looks awesome as well!

[Toolman]

Some shapes take a while grow on you though,
It took years before I started to think the Goblins look good.

Also canopy off, Synergy mechanics are really good looking & I think this maybe the same.
Don't be too quick to judge!

It looks like Matts done something cleaver with spliting the canopy into 2 parts,
I wonder if it will use the mounting system as per the N7. I'm guessing only one part needs to be removed to change batteries?

Question is G are you going to buy one?MJ

[GIXERMAN]

i like marmite upside down, so taste goes straight to taste buds!

I have to admit that I'd buy one if I 'needed' another heli, I think it looks cool.

[Guest]

Got to have the boom cover looks odd without. Didn't really look with the cover before. If I hadn't just bought a Carbon Goblin might be in for one. Always tomorrow!

Never owned a synergy, but looking at this has put me off getting one.
Pig ugly!!. I sort of understand the idea behind a body fairing with separate easy removable canopy (well that's what they look like they have tried to do) but they really haven't achieved a good look with this one

[Rob Barnes]

Ive owned a Synergy E7 once which flew very very well , however dumb thumbs and I decided it was time to hover it inverted and subsequently pulled full positive into the floor and the whole thing just exploded , a re kit was needed so that was the end of that one lol ! Apart from a brief encounter with an N5c I found Synergies are very good but parts are expensive and availability of spares is sometimes very difficult.

Hi Tim,

The front canopy section has the same fixing system as the N7 with the front having quick location slide 'n' lock and the rear portion having the quick release pin lock system. It has been designed for quick canopy removal and battery change with the sliding tray mechanism.

Hope this helps,
Cheers,

I agree Rob, Matt addressed the parts issue earlier this year and hopefully any further shortages of parts will be non existent or very short in lead time.

This will purely come down to kit and parts pricing for me and as SAB and Align have completely sown up both these areas it will have to be competitive with them.

Some of the Synergy crashes that I've witnessed, N7 and N5, have been so expensive that they've been uneconomical to repair the usual way so hopefully the price point will be closer to Align and SAB otherwise I doubt Matt will sell that many of these in the UK, fingers crossed.

[Sesame]

it reminds me of the modern street bike fairings, not overly sure about it, it kind of appeals but its defo Fugly.

im sure it will be a very capable machine, but as has been stated bloody expensive to crash
