What.... are they up to 96S power system now?

 

Looking like a fair improvement over SAB's first speed heli attempt, though if that second video is the best example then they have a way to go before being the fastest heli....
Wonder how the pricing will be? Cause at the rate SAB's pricing structure goes this may be close to in price to the German alternatives of higher quality workmanship.
If the airframe price if good this may be a great entry option into speed flying

 

I know that the second video doesnt realy show what it can do. Just one flyby was very very fast. The other attempts werent good. Maybe the fbl unit wasnt tuned properly. Or the pilot shiz his pants because there are only 3 of this model made..

The guy who was talking in the first vid is one of the co-founders of SAB and he was talking about "tres milles" for a complete setup. So 3000.- euros.. I think minimum!

I guess they will keep producing the "old" Goblin Speed as well. We will see if the competition version can be the fastest in the hands of a freak. I believe it can because there are some real improvements in aerodynamics.

 

Haha no no. Its "just" 14S my friend! But when i look at the lipo compartement a 20S could fit... The next 10 years will bring crazy stuff to the rc heli world. We are thinking some helis are realy high end.. There is always a higher end!

 

I think Bert came in third place at the OHB Speed Cub with his.

What models have been on 1 and 2?

This is one sexy looking helicopter. speed machines are incredible - so much depends on the quality of equipment being used. One guy who used to fly at our field would spare no expense when it came to building his speed machines. To see them in person - first hand - is awe inspiring. They are like missiles - if you are not really solid on the sticks, one small twitch can create a fireball!

 

Yeah I agree the design is incredible!

The heli kit seems to be the cheapest part of the whole cake. A good motor and esc cost more for sure..

Speed flying is something different.. 3D can be easy and smooth, very predictible. Speed runs will not even accept blinking your eyes!

Like you said a fireball.. Thats the sad thing about it. There will be nothing left if it comes down. Therefore I would set it up for 3d LoL. Just to have that design!

 

I can see that...... a flipping flounder!
I'm not so sure I would be able to resist the temptation of painting the fuselage on one of those to look like a flying fish!
