SAB Goblin Kraken 700 Maiden Flight

[@raptor1961]

SAB should be referring all your builds as official. And send you all their heli’s for these kind of informative build videos. Thank you so much.

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Thank you! That would be nice! I would definitely love to work with SAB. I try my best to build every heli the same way but SAB is the most popular brand so I build more of there helis.

West hobbies that’s what the hobby is looking for !!! I just started watching ur vids. You SIR don’t miss steps, Heli Controller setup the Maiden flight !!! The build !!! There’s more as well !!! Now that’s is what I want to watch !!! Thank you Sir

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Thank you! I am glad you are happy with the videos and the channel. I try my best to be as informative as I can be not only for the new people that are burning or just getting into the helicopter side but the advanced and experience people as well. No one knows everything and we can all learn something new every day! My goal when I started the channel was to be the most informative helpful helicopter and all RC channel I could be. They are my passion and I want to see the helicopter community succeed and grow as big as possible! Thank you for watching!

Just mesmerizing seeing you fly that thing so smooth! Awesome build video series. Cheers

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Thank you! I greatly appreciate it!

[@heliman9552]

great flight - keep up he good work, goblin still the best out there

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Thank you! Goblins are the best! Incredible helis!

[@frederickgrassie3383]

Unbelievable flying abilities! Great flying helicopter.

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Thank you! The Kraken 700 flys amazing! Just like all SAB models!

[@frederickgrassie3383]

@@westhobbiesrc8051 right now all I can fly is the FW 200, because of GPS I know it won't crash. A new FW V3 is out late February, might buy one, bigger is better for me to see, no one local to my club to help with flights, 99% fixed wig club,

[@ambrosekillpack4841]

Wow, your microphone REALLY doesn't do this helicopter justice. I've heard the audio on other videos of this bird and It's incredibly loud and awesome sounding.

[@DreCargill93]

The molded boom look on the kraken is so sexy. Can’t decide which is sexier between it and the soxos strike 7.1!

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

The kraken looks amazing! The soxosis awesome too! Really hoping to build one and fly one! Seen a few in person and really like the setup.

[@pringleiscool475]

That thing is so cool

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Yes it is! Such a cool model!

[@rsnate2930]

beautiful heli.... and such a skilled pilot! .... I may have to throw in the towel. Just struggling to figure it out. Haven't been able to find any local RC heli guys in the area that could help. Definitely been trying the sim, just not clicking for some reason! Have always loved watching your videos Jeff.

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Thank you! Don’t give up! Keep at it, helis are hard! Very hard, but well worth it in the end. Keep practicing! Learn your basic hovering and once you can hover in all four points (tail in, nose in, left, Right) then move to forward flight. Just push the Heli away from you and bring it back. Keep doing that stuff and you will progress very quickly!

[@markgs6941]

@@westhobbiesrc8051 that is fantastic advice! I’m still learning the sim. But scared to take my 420 Raw out yet😢

[@gorilasfpv4600]

Awesome flying

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Thank you!

[@omegaperformance3288]

great machine i like it more than my raws

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

I like the look of the Krakens but love the way the RAW flys more. All SAB heli’s are amazing.

[@DetoursRC]

I like this color best. I want a kraken 700 but really not a fan of the new orange and white stuff. Love my kraken 580 though.

[@toadiscoil]

Oh yeah!

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Awesome Heli!

[@chandrat7236]

Awesome! 👍😀

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Thank you!

[@rcas350pilot8]

I have this one and the KSE

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Both fantastic models!

[@rsquared9703]

I’m getting back into heli’s and I have a question. Why are the rotor blades allowed to pivot?

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Do you mean at the bolt or at the blade grip?

[@rsquared9703]

@@westhobbiesrc8051 the blade grip. (the last helicopter I had was like 15 years ago)

[@1Dustin]

So could you scale this up 10x and have a flying drone insect weapon? Or do we lack the material strength and power to do that?

[@qu11n]

What kind of Kv does your motor have and what kind of battery did you fly with? Just ordered a kit with a 1800Kv motor and a 60a ESC, and i have 8x1300mah batteries laying around i plan to fly with in paralell. Do you know what kind of flight time i could achieve with those batteries? I can freestyle with my drones for 4-5 mins with 1 battery.

[@larrychamel]

Fantastic Build and Epoc Maiden Flight Jeff! I can't figure it out, either you are an amazing Pilot or something is very wrong with my phone... it always looks like your Heli is upside down, and when I rotate my Phone it's the same bloody thing. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🚁🥂🍾 Happy New Year to you and the Family, Brother!

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Thank you Larry! The Heli flys better upside down! Lol happy new year to you as well! I hope you have a fantastic one!

[@pythonuploads5027]

can it fly like a normal helicopter? will love to fly it normally

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Yes, of course. Any helicopter can fly scale or like full scale helis.

[@pythonuploads5027]

thanks for reply, try fly it in straight line and post. will luv to see how it goes@@westhobbiesrc8051
