More Goblin Mods!
Here is a mash-up I did of the FT Goblin (scaled up to 115%) and Sponz's new Foam Wonder as a Twin-Engine plane. This thing flies amazing (and by amazing, I mean nearly identical to the actual Foam Wonder, which flies awesome as well)! This and the Foam Wonder are some of the most locked-in Flite Test planes I have flown (and I have built most of them). Both are great for park flying, fpv, or just some line-of-sight cruising. This version cruises around just like the Goblin but has substantially more control and maneuverability than the goblin without the tail section.
I created some basic plans for this mash-up and attached them to this thread. Since this is a twin it makes the build slightly more complicated. I use a power distribution board in the fuselage wired to two quadcopter ESC's and 2207 Emax motors (I like 2207 2400kv with a 4s battery either 1300mah or 1800mah). I've linked the 3d printed mount I found on Thingiverse that fits the goblin wing perfectly. If you don't have access to a 3d printer, you can use the motor mounts from the FT Superbee. I mounted my motors about 4 inches away from the fuselage. This gave clearance for 5 or 6-inch props.
I'd recommend this build for anyone that has some experience with Flite Test Build that is comfortable with scratch building and some improvising. Next time I build one I will try to get some video of the build process and will update this thread to help clarify the build process. I'd highly encourage anyone to try this or the foam wonder out, they are great!
I also wanted to shout out to SPONZ for the Foam Wonder Plans and the inspiration for this Mash-Up. Appreciate all you do for the community!
