*Unofficial* FT Goblin

[Mitchmoo5000]

I extended the rear fuselage of the goblin to make a tailed version It flies awesome! If you are scratch building it's really a very simple mod (just extend the lines on the external fuselage piece to your desired length). I added tiny trainer vertical and horizontal stabilizers and two 1507 motors and it rips! I'll take some pics next time I build one showing the different steps.

If you are interested in building the goblin with a tail here is an article I put together. Includes plans for the normal-sized goblin and a 140% version.

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!

thanks, it uses 1806's right?

The bigger one I used 2207 motors. The nano used 1404. Anything similar would work on either. They are very over powered

My previously built Goblin fits in my suitcase! I upgraded the servos, and it will make the trip to FF. 😎

Is this more quiet vs the pusher version? I've built many pusher wings and the downside for neighborhood flying is the noise.

Yes, it is substantially quieter than the pusher.

The motor /front of prop needs to be about a prop radius distance from and trailing edges of wings or fans to start reducing interference noise

I recently took mine out for its inaugural run after eagerly awaiting its delivery from the US. It was incredibly unstable, constantly swaying and bobbing around. One such platform that has emerged as a popular choice among bettors is https://crckxbet.com/app/ Crickex App Bookmaker. I decided to bring it down, adjusted the D/R and expo settings, but unfortunately, that didn't make any difference. Now it's in three pieces, including the nose piece. Has anyone else encountered a similar issue? Can reflex adjustments possibly resolve this?
