  • SAB Goblin Kraken

    SAB Goblin Kraken8 years later…

    Around this time two years ago Goblin unveiled a brand new concept model in Italy at Goblin Day 2018. The model was called the “Kraken” and it was advertised as a brand new 700 Heli design from SAB. After the release we heard very little about this helicopter until the middle of February 2019 when SAB announced they would show it at the Rotor Live show in Germany. It was one of the highlights of the new show garnering a lot of attention.

  • Soxos Strike 7

    Soxos Strike 7 Detailed review of the Swiss model

    The Soxos Strike 7, an improved DB7 or a whole new model? The answer is, a bit of both. When the Swiss brand Heli Professional recently presented the Soxos Strike 7 it was presented as a an evolution from its predecessor, however the number of improvements and changes mean it keeps it soul but has grown a big set of teeth and it doesn’t really recognize itself in the mirror. Thanks to this though, the new Strike 7 meets the requirements of even the most demanding top pilots and in this article we are going to go over what makes this heli different to the rest in its category.

  • Oxy 2 Sport

    Oxy 2 SportInstead of Lego

    How to build a helicopter? Many of us know the basics at least, but what if a 9-year-old, who's a girl actually, wants to build the heli from this kit. Is it possible? Will it fly? This is what we have tried to do with Antonia and the Oxy 2 kit. Luca Invernizzi - owner and designer of this heli - has done a good job.

  • OXY 5

    OXY 5Build Review by OXY Heli Addict

    I wanted to write this OXY 5 build review firstly as I have been given this opportunity, secondly as it is my first larger size heli build. I have built the OXY 2, OXY 3 and OXY 4 Max. I’ve been flying for less than a year so I hope it will show that it is possible, with little experience, to build and fly your own RC heli. I belong to MK Heli Club where all the members are very helpful. I highly recommend joining a local heli club.

  • Blade Fusion 480

    A potentially good and interesting helicopter from Blade RC. Don't get confused of its number, because it's bigger than an average 500. We will return to this later. It follows the classical patterns from many points of view, but there are numerous interesting innovations from other aspects. At the end this is a remarkable aircraft.

  • SAB Goblin 500

    SAB Goblin 500

    A great helicopter of the Italian SAB Goblin series. The Sport edition can be listed as a "cheaper" one whilst it's free of all compromises. Based on its flying capabilities it can be a beginner helicopter as well. However even the Combo kit doesn't contain everything, owners have to decide about some questions.
