For those who are Synergy Helicopter fans, you will want to check out this week's episode of the RC Today Show. Chris, Bobby, and James conduct an interview with Synergy designer and company owner Matt Botos. In addition to participating in the show's usual lively discussion on general RC aviation topics, Matt answers some in-depth questions about his new E6/E7 helicopter.

Some of the Synergy E6/E7 points of interest are:
  • How the boom length is determined for a helicopter
  • Optimum battery sizes for each of the two size variants
  • The weight and flight characteristics of the E6 vs. the E7
  • The E6/E7 helical main gear design
  • Why a belt drive is preferred over a torque tube for this model
  • Servo mounting
  • Blade choices (discussion of Rail Blades)
  • Matt's thoughts on the Hacker Tornado motor
Overall it is a great interview, especially if you are interested in hearing about the development of a new RC helicopter from the eyes and mind of the designer ... and especially if you are a fan of the new E6 and E7 kit from Synergy Helicopter.
