It is important to choose the right reduction ratio to maximize efficiency based on your required flight performance. The Goblin has many possible reduction ratios at your disposal. It is possible to optimize any moror and battery combination. It is recommended to use wiring and connector appropriate for the currents generated in a helicopter of this class.

Bag 9 Batteries The Goblin has a quick release battery tray system. The batteries must be installed onto the battery tray to take advantage of the quick release locking system. Install the battery to the battery tray using double sided tape and the long Velcro straps included.
Bag 10 CANOPY - The canopy touches the boom on the Goblin. To avoid canopy damage due to high frequency vibration, it is necessary to attach the adhesive foam tape HA006 to the canopy (Fig 2). - Assembly the Edge Protection [HA112] with a litle super glue. Figure.3 - The canopy locks in the front as shown by the arrow in Figure 4 and in the rear by the canopy screws H0248-S (Fig 1).
*The tail of the Goblin 500 is quite unique in the sense that the tail hub is dampened like the main rotor head. It is normal for the tail slider to be a bit tight in the very beginning as the tail spindle preload is usually a bit high when the helicopter is brand new.
