Ready Made RC Strix Goblin
Model Airplane News|October 2017

Perfect for long-range cruising or high-speed FPV.

Jason Benson
Ready Made RC Strix Goblin

Designed for high-speed runs of more than 100mph or long-range, high-efficiency cruising around 50mph, the Goblin sports a blow-molded orange ABS fuselage that is aerodynamic and rugged. Its wings are constructed of high-density EPO foam with carbon-fiber spars for rigidity. There is no covering to mention as all parts sport a natural finish and color is added with the included decal set.

This plug-and-play model comes with its power system and servos installed and ready for flight.

The only hardware to mention are the four screws that are used to attach the wings to the fuselage. The plug-in wings are supported by an extremely strong and well-designed square carbon-fiber spar. There is also a clever wing center section that has an optional light-ply tray, which can be used for your receiver or first person-view (FPV) gear.

The Strix Goblin is intended for the intermediate-and-above pilot. It is extremely fast and nimble, so you will want to have some experience with higher performance models. You also need to hand launch the Goblin as there is no landing gear, so be prepared for that.

UNIQUE FEATURES 

The only control surfaces on the Goblin are the elevons on the wings. They arrive prehinged and reinforced with clear tape for sustained high speed flight and longevity. As mentioned, there is no landing gear on this model, which really speeds up assembly and makes transportation easy.

PRODUCT REVIEW: RC PLANE STANDS BENCHTOP MODEL

I’m a sucker for shop stuff. I buy tools I will probably never use just because they are cool, or I might need to use them someday. When Glen from RC Plane Stands reached out about a review, however, I knew as soon as I browsed their website that I would be receiving something I would use a lot, maybe even daily.
