New Synergy 516

[Grumpy]

$499 US works out at £387 give or take, interesting price point if that stays true to form.

Plus 20% VAT = £465... So 10x isn't far off even without any UK rip-off factor.

I'm kinda liking the 550 sizes right now from my usual 700's, gonna have to try this one 😊

So I've been flying mine for a few months now I'm really enjoying, it has plenty of power for such a small heli. The build went really smoothly I had the airframe fully assembled in just one afternoon, It's a great little machine.

I like it. I like the leccy synergy's and I think it's quite a sexy addition to the line up. I'd have one if I had the cash.

Are there any EU dealers?

SYNERGY 516 Flybarless KIT - World-of-Heli

It looks nice and screams 'quality'.. I see they make a big play of it being very lightweight.. So what does it actually weight without battery? I saw some reports over on HF saying about 2.2Kg which doesnt really seem very light.

Looks like a UK/Europe 'rip-off factor' has been added. The current US price ($520) converted to £ equals £383. Add 20% VAT = £459.60

Actual price in World of Heli = Euro 589 (£525)... so they seemed to have added an extra £65 from somewhere

Agree with Steve, it is a bit overpriced.

Mine is 2.2kg with the following setup;

• Scorpion HKIII 4020 1350KV Motor
• YGE 90LV ESC
• RJX FS0390HV cyclic servos
• RJX FS0521THV Tail servo
• Vbar neo
• Rotor-tech 515mm main blades
• Rotor-tech 85mm tail blades

I'm running at 2500rpm headspeed and it doesn't feel heavy.
