My Goblin is done

[skymaster]

so i decided to make my goblin's fuselage a little bit longer to get a better balance without the fpv gear. and when i put the motor on it, I did not realized that the goblin that the FT team had a f pack motor . the one i put on it is a bit bigger and this made it a bit tail heavy , I was going to remove it but decided to make the fuselage a little bit longer to be able to move the battery forward and get a better balance without adding weight to the front and without fpv gear. it was just an idea. and now will see how it fly's .

Awesome build. Nice paint job cant wait to see how she flys!

Goblin is a fun plane that when you find the correct CG will fly on rails! good move on extending the nose.

Awesome!
Bummer those darn kids snuck in & tagged your plane. Kidding! Looks great.

yea i did not want to spend to much time on the paint job, because i know with that motor i am going to kiss the ground big time and if i do i think it's going to come out of the ground somewhere else.

"come out of the ground somewhere else"!!! Best one I've heard all year! ROFL!
Seriously I like your style - I'm as guilty as anyone for investing too much effort into a plane, even with my simple paint jobs.

The Goblin is an outstanding flyer. Great FPV platform too... To increase durability, add a Popsicle stick on the inside of the fuselage where the wing enters. If you land iffy and cartwheel, you may rip the plane in half.. ( look close, you'll see the glue line where I glued it back together)

I used to own one of the RMRC Nano goblins. It was such a fun plane! I'd love to see a 200% size similar to the original Strix Goblin's size.

Goblins are great. I'm about settled into my new life and ready to build Goblin number 4.
