SAB Goblin 580 Kraken Electric Helicopter Kit
I loved flying my Goblin 570 at low head speeds for soft 3D flying. I did not think that anything could fly better.

I have also owned a Mikado Logo 550 and 600 and they also flew great at low head speeds. I decided to buy a Goblin 580 based on Goblin's reputation for innovation.

The kit came in a very small box. When I opened it and read the manual, it appeared to be counter intuitive based on all the Goblin builds I have done in the past. You need to watch the Goblin video first which shows how the helicopter goes together.

Once you see the Goblin video on the build, then start reading the manual. It is a long build in that all the parts are disassembled, but very rewarding. It is only towards the end of the build to you get a sense of progress, especially when the tail boom is attached.

The new 580 provides a great spot for an ESC with a fan and is perfectly spaced to accommodate the motor wiring. The servos are easily installed and the servo arms are easily adjusted while in the mounts (a bog time saver). The wiring harness is also another great innovation which cradles wiring and protects it from any vibrations. It also gives the build a very clean look.

Flying it the first time, one will notice that it is very precise and a joy to fly. You will rapidly love flying this heli and find it hard to go back to your old goblins. After flying the new G 580 my old goblins now feel much less precise when flying.

I am now waiting for a Kraken 650 for my next purchase .

Easy, pleasant build.

Great flexibility for 6 or 12S in one frame.

Only drawback is the black windscreen.
Reflective tape fixes that.

Smooth flyer.
