INSTALLATION OF THE RPM SENSOR
On the Goblin, you can use two different solutions to install
an RPM sensor. The first is a backplate sensor, please look
at the following pictures for how to install it.
P.S: Not all YS engines can support this style of sensor,
please check with your specific engine.
The second is to use two magnets on the fan.
Please install it in this way:
Install 2 magnets on the fan with epoxy glue ( before, clean part with some degreaser [ Fig. 4 ] ).
You have to cut open a small slot on the fan case. [ Fig. 5 ].
To install the sensor, you can use the two M2.5 holes [ Fig. 6 ] .
Not all sensors are the same, so you can adapt the position with the carbon support (H0729).
With the Align sensor and the Spartan sensor, you can use the part of the support that already has holes in it.
With any other sensor, you can use the part without holes and adapt as needed.

Simply align the shaft with the ridges on the frame, push the shaft down and then re-tighten the bolts.
Note:
If you have already installed
the boom, please remember
to loosen these bolts.

Chapter 8, Engine Unit Assembly

ASSEMBLY OF THE BALL ON THE HORN.
The rods going from the servos to the swash plate must be as
vertical as possible. Not all servos are equal, so to better align
them you can choose to use the supplied spacer H0031.
Figure 3 illustrates this.
INSTALLATION OF SWASHPLATE SERVOS
The linkage ball must be positioned between 17-19 mm out on the servo arm ( figure 1 ), recommended servo arm SAB
p/n [HA050/HA051]. The 120° placement of the servos inside Goblin means the arms are difficult to access. For this reason it is
advisable to ensure alignment of the servo arms (and sub trim set) before installation of the servos in the model.
Proceed with installation following the instructions below. Figure 2 shows a completed installation.
