SAB Goblin Kraken 580 Yellow/Blue

SAB Goblin Kraken 580 Yellow/Blue

This was the first Heli build i have ever done and i have to say having zero Heli build experience this kit went together very easy the parts were. Top quality and the directions were spot on The Heli and all the parts came packaged very securely in foam. Over all i am very pleased with the Kracken580 build i will be looking at another one in the future perhaps the orange and blue one. So if your looking for a first kit or your already experienced in Helis I would Highly recommend this one

Love it as much as my Tron 5.8!! I bought it following the purchase of my Tron 5.8 and just love it as much as my Tron. I really didn't think I could find anything as good as my Tron until I bought this kit. Definately high quality, easy to build, and flys beautifully. I can't tell you between this and my Tron which one I like better, I like them both a lot!! If you want it, get it It!!!

Kit went together with relative ease. Installed all Spektrum electronics and FBL system. Love the color scheme and how well it stands out when in the air. Would definitely recommend.

This helicopter is one of the most beautifull heli and this brand SAB give an excelent quality on materials and finished pieces.

I’ve been flying over 12 years I have should’ve gotten one sooner, by far the best helicopter out there for your money , I will definitely be getting another one after I finish the align helicopter I’m building now for my son.

This was my first Heli kit that I've built. I just have an RTF blade that I used to learn on. Let me just say this.. the kit was so much fun to build and all of the parts just fit together like butter. The only thing I needed to modify was the esc tray. It didn't have holes that fit the Hobbywing 120A esc. Just had to drill 2 extra holes, no issue at all. This kit was designed extremely well with high quality parts. I've built kits before and this was by far the most enjoyable. SAB quality is top tier, no questions asked.

This is my favorite 550-580 size helicopter. I set up mine for 7S power system, 7S 4500mah packs, full size servos, RotorTech 580/96 blades with stock tail gear ratio, belt tensioner, and XGuardRC head dampeners. I fly mostly at 2000rpm on the middle bank, with high bank set to 2200rpm. 265 flights total so far.

I experienced slow tail wobble during hover originally, but that went away when I switched the stock dampeners to XGuardRC Rigidcore dampeners. The stock quick release canopy knobs may require a little fiddling to get them to work and secure the canopy properly, but I just replaced them with quick release Loxx knobs, and there is no longer an issue. The enclosed transmission works very well, but it is a PITA and messy to work on after a crash. The stock black skid struts are a bit difficult for my aging eyes to see well in the air, but I replaced them with white skid struts that work superbly well. The tail belt rubbed against the back of the tail servo; I remedied this by shimming the tail servo down by about 2mm.

Performance is superb. I've never been able to blow out the tail no matter what I throw at it. It does not autorotate as well as 700 size helicopters, but it does autorotate very well especially for being a mid size helicopter and sporting a belted tail.

I lost my first one due to a bird strike, a Hawk attacked it! I didn’t wait long to replace it. For me it is the perfect heli in this class.

I wanted to update my 15 year old helicopter, and I am so glad I did... In a word, smooth...
