NOTES FOR ASSEMBLY
Please refer to this manual for assembly instructions for this model.
Follow the order of assembly indicated. The instructions are divided into chapters, which are structured in a way that
each step is based on the work done in the previous step. Changing the order of assembly may result in additional or
unnecessary steps.
Use thread lockers and retaining compounds as indicated. In general, each bolt or screw that engages with a metal part
requires thread lock.
It is necessary to pay attention to the symbols listed below:

4-Carbon Frame
The manufacturing process of the carbon parts
often leaves micro-burrs and sharp edges. We
recommend de-burring the edges to minimize the
risks of electrical wire cuts, etc. This is particularly
important in the areas shown in red.

is possible to reduce any axial
play by adding shims.
IMPORTANT: Very carefully
check to make sure you can
turn the main shaft freely.
If you feel too much friction,
you have used too many
shims, you can remove a shim
until the shaft turns freely.

However, for 3D flight or high RPM, the best setup is assembling
with at least one shim between the damper and bearing.
After approximately 20/30 flights, please manually check the
head dampening, you can add one 0.1mm shim (HC450) if the
dampening feels loose.

INSTALLATION OF SWASHPLATE SERVOS
The linkage ball must be positioned approximately 13-15 mm out on the servo arm ( figure 1 ), it is recommended to use the SAB
servo arm p/n [HA052]. Because of the 120° placement of the servos in the Goblin, the arms are difficult to access. For this reason
it is advisable to ensure alignment of the servo arms (and sub trim) before installation of the servos in the model (figure 2) .
Proceed with installation following the instructions below . Figure 3 shows a completed installation.
The rods going from the servos to the swash plate must be as vertical as possible. ( Red line in Figure 4 )
Not all servos are equal, so for proper alignment you can choose to use the supplied spacer H0566 under the uniball H0538.

Some example configurations:
TRANSMISSION SETUP
It is important to choose the right reduction ratio to maximize efficiency based on your required flight performance.
It is possible to optimize any motor and battery combination.
It is recommended to use wiring and connectors appropriate for the currents generated in a helicopter of this class.
If you are using a head speed calculator which requires a main gear and pinion tooth count, use 120 teeth for the main gear and
the tooth count of your pulley as the pinion count.
Below is a list of available reduction ratios:
H0501-19-S - 19T Pinion = ratio 6.3:1 H0501-22-S - 22T Pinion = ratio 5.5:1
H0501-20-S - 20T Pinion = ratio 6:1 H0501-23-S - 23T Pinion = ratio 5.2:1
H0501-21-S - 21T Pinion = ratio 5.7:1 H0501-24-S - 24T Pinion = ratio 5:1
The Goblin 380 accepts a wide selection of batteries with different capacities. The suggested number of cells is 6.
All batteries from 1800 to 2600 mAh offer good performance.

NOTE:
Correct position for the motor wires.
To maximize space for the batteries, it is
advisable to shorten the motor shaft.
Follow the dimensions given in this drawing.
Shaft have to be 22mm.
For the cut, you can use an electric tool like a
“Dremel” with a cutoff disc.
Additionally, ensure the motor shaft has an
appropriate 'flat' for one of the set screws.

MOTOR BELT TENSION
*Assemble the motor and pulley to its mounting plate.
*Install the motor assembly in the helicopter.
*It is easy to install the belt with the motor assembly pushed back towards the helicopter as far as it can go.
First put the belt on the motor pulley.
*Then put the belt around the big pulley.
*Rotate the motor several times by hand.
*Pull and hold the motor slightly.
*Tighten the M4 nut first (It is suggested to use tool nut driver).
*The belt must be very tight.
*Tighten the rest of the bolts.
Motor Assembly
Note:
Check for vertical alignment of the motor pulley. To do this, simply turn the motor several times by hand and check to you see if
the belt is aligned properly with the big pulley (one way bearing pulley).
If the belt is riding too high, simply loosen up the motor pulley and drop it just a little bit, if it is riding too low, loosen up the
motor pulley and raise it a bit.

DE-BURR THE SIDE FRAMES
We recommend de-burring the edges of the carbon parts in areas where electrical wires run.(See Page 4).
ESC INSTALLATION
The speed controller (ESC) is installed in the front of the helicopter.
Figure 1 shows the mounting area. Figure 2 shows the installation of the Kosmik ESC from Kontronik.
You can also use the heat sink (H0165-S) if you wish for improved cooling (Figure 3,4)

Fig. 2 shows the unit mounted on the support H0564.
Fig. 3 shows the unit directly mounted on the main aluminum plate.
Use your judgment to decide whether you need to install your FBL unit as shown in Fig 2 or
Fig 3. This will depend on the size of the FBL unit itself and the arrangement of the wires.
With larger units, the nylon nut can make it difficult to connect the wires to the unit, in this
case it is recommended to use the aluminum support H0564.
With smaller units, the unit can be installed directly onto the main plate.
This facilitates boom removal in the future if necessary.
We recommend using some type of adhesive to prevent the servo wires and connections
from coming unplugged from the receiver or FBL unit. You can use hot glue for this purpose.

FLYBARLESS CONTROL UNIT AND RX INSTALLATION
We suggest the use of a “single unit” FBL system (all in one type unit).
This allows for easier wire routing considering the small size of this helicopter.
Position 1 can be used to install the FBL unit.
Position 2 and 3 can be used to install a small RX unit, like a Spektrum satellite.
Position 4 and 5 can be used to install RX unit.
