Synergy e6, e7 Instruction Manual

Congratulations on your purchase of the Synergy E6/7 radio controlled helicopter kit. The Synergy E6/7 was designed and developed by Botos Design & Distribution Inc.. The design of the Synergy E6/7 emerged from
many years of experience in the hobby including design, research & development, and last but not least
as a world class pilot who truly enjoys this wonderful hobby.
This radio controlled helicopter is NOT A TOY. It is a sophisticated piece of equipment, it was designed
and intended for hobby use only. If not properly assembled, maintained, and operated, it is capable of
causing property damage and bodily harm to both the operator and/or spectators. Botos Design &
from the assembly or use/misuse of this product. If you are new to the hobby we strongly recommend
seeking the help and advice from an experienced modeler.
Operating a model helicopter requires a high degree of diligence and skill. If you are new to the hobby, it
is best to seek help and guidance from experienced radio controlled helicopter pilots. This will both greatly
speed up the learning process and make it much safer for you.
For those pilots who will be operating their Synergy E6/7 in the United States, we strongly recommend
joining the AMA. The AMA is a non-profit organization that provides services to the model aircraft pilots. As
an AMA member, you will receive a monthly magazine entitled Model Aviation and most importantly a
liability insurance plan to cover against a possible accident or injury. All AMA charter aircraft clubs require
individuals to hold a current AMA sporting license prior to operation of their models
For further information, you can contact the AMA at

Brushless Motor Mounting
A19
Important!
Motor mount is designed to accept motor with 4mm bolts and 30mm bolt pattern option. 25x3mm motor mounting was left out due to weakness of the M3 bolts and increasing power of todays motors.
Motor shaft should be minimum of 32mm in length outside of the motor in order to properly engage motor shaft bearing block.
Inportant!
Pinion should rest on inner race of lower pinion support. Failure to configure properly will result in premature motor bearing wear.
Note
- Synthetic grease may be used on main gear / pinion in order to reduce heat and improve gear interation.

Use middle hole on head block when using stock 78mm pitch links Upper Hole can be used with linkage adjustment.
Align Swash Driver paralell with head block. Adjust height of swash driver so washout link is 90 degrees to Washout Arm at zero degrees collective pitch. See illustration below.
Do not make washout arm parallel with washout base at zero degrees pitch!
