Congratulations on your purchase of the Synergy N5 radio controlled helicopter kit. The Synergy N5 was designed and developed by Matt Botos in conjunction with a global network of partners. The design of the Synergy N5 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 and was designed and intended for hobby use only. If not properly assembled, maintained or operated, it is capable of causing property damage and bodily harm to both the operator and/or spectators. Synergy Helicopters Inc., its affiliates and its authorized distributors assume no liability for damage that could occur 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. Operation an 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 N5 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 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 Academy if Model Aeronautics 5151 East Memorial Drive Muncie, IN 47302 (317) 287-1256
