SAB Goblin 700 22Dec11

The new SAB Goblin 700 heli from Goblin Helicopter certainly looks nice. Pre-orders are going well and the 2nd batch is already sold out. Next estimated ship date is late February 2012.

We normally do not like belts on our helis and generally avoid kits that have them if at all possible. The Goblin has two belts but it is such a unique design that it has captured our interest. One thing we like about larger helis is their visibility and the Goblin design has that in spades.

If you are in the market for a 700 class heli and what something innovative give it a look.
