INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Synergy N556 model helicopter kit!
The Synergy N556 was designed and developed by Matt Botos, a world class competition model helicopter pilot, and is the result of thousands of
hours of research and experience.
Before you proceed please verify you have the latest version of this manual by visiting our website at http://synergyrchelicopters.com/manuals.
If you have any questions during then assembly process or need clarication on anything in this manual please visit our forums at
http://synergyrchelicopters.com/forum where you will nd great tips and expert advice.
THIS RADIO CONTROLLED HELICOPTER IS NOT A TOY. IT IS A SOPHISTICATED PIECE OF EQUIPMENT DESIGNED AND INTENDED FOR
RECREATIONAL USE ONLY. IF NOT PROPERLY ASSEMBLED, MAINTAINED, AND OPERATED, IT IS CAPABLE OF CAUSING PROPERTY
DAMAGE AND BODILY HARM TO BOTH THE OPERATOR AND SPECTATORS. BOTOS DESIGN & DISTRIBUTION, ITS AFFILIATES, AND ITS
AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTORS ASSUME NO LIABILITY FOR DAMAGE THAT COULD OCCUR FROM THE ASSEMBLY OR USE OR MISUSE OF
THIS PRODUCT. USE THIS PRODUCT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Operating a model helicopter requires a high degree of diligence and skill. If you are new tomodel helicopters, it is your responsibility to seek help
and guidance from experienced modelers. Having an experienced modeler inspect your model and provide instruction will both
greatly speed up the learning process and make it much safer for you. For those pilots who will be operating their Synergy N556 in the United
States, we strongly recommend joining the AMA. The AMA is a non-prot organization that provides services to the model aircraft pilots. As an
AMA member, you will receive a liability insurance plan to cover against a possible accident or injury. All AMA charter clubs require individuals to
hold a current AMA membership prior to operation of their models at their facility.
For further information, you can contact the AMA at:
