Flight #10 would be the first confirmed flight of a true legend, the Pitsco Synergy. I picked up three of these for a song a few years back and put one together in about 30 minutes. Parts and pieces were about what you'd expect, and I came away from the build unimpressed, but not actually dismissive. Flight would be on a C6-5, and though I'm not a proponent of the "earn your paint" theory, in this case I felt that it was warranted. Well, it earned the paint. Flight was perfect, high and straight to about 900-1000'. Long drift on recovery into the soccer fields, but everything performed as it should have, and it will definitely fly again, with paint. Incidentally, Synergy was the name that popped up on RocketReviews.com when I tried to log in a flight, so that's what I went with. Anyone heard of anything else previously?
