    Hi All, I would just like it known the excellent service I have received from Zen RC. I purchased from them a Goblin 700 carbon edition, the price and speed of delivery was tops. I live in W.A. (wait awhile) and yet I had in in my hands three days after ordering it. And a special thank you to Sean who answered my queries promply the first one I forgot about the time difference but still he got straight back to me even though it must have been close to midnight. Test flying tomorrow and weather is looking good.

      I have only ever heard of positive things from ZEN RC. Sean (aka ZEN) has proven to be an honest bloke who will really bend over backwards to make sure you get what you want. He is also passionate about flying helicopters too. Very nice kit by the way..... looks phenominal.

      Hi all, I have been flying Helli's for about three years now,I have only built and flown Align trex's mainly as they were the most popular brand at my club. The product is very good but after a couple of issues and the total lack of support from the importer I had a rethink.I had spare set of servo's,esc and fbl system and as you can only purchase a combo from Align I decided to try a Goblin 570.I just needed a motor to complete. The Goblin design is very different and unique and awesome machine to build and fly.I also like the design as in the event of a mishap the tail boom and undercarriage etc have sacrificial parts so repair costs are minimal plus the service and support I received makes a lot of difference 20150117_162858.jpg .

      Yes it its a different design. I think the 570 (without testing the 380 yet) is the sweet spot for the gobby. I have seen that heli take some massive punishment from @3dmick... Its a great smak machine

      Well I was as nervous as hell test flying my new Goblin 700 machine. As soon as it was in the air I new everything was going to be OK.Just got a bit of tail wag in high speed turns.Reduced the tail gain and what a delight to fly. Same characteristics as my 570 just more graceful.Used silicon based grease on the main gears and what a mess.A fellow club member got me some Tri-flow dry lube which I will give a go.Apparently bicycle shops are the best place to find it on the shelf.
