    Do you have one? Just my opinion. I just don't like the design.

    I started off unsure by the pics and the vids but was tempted enough to get one,in the flesh I think it looks awesome.

    I like it because it dares to be different,and it does what it's designed to do very well indeed.

    I personally don't like the Xxtreme but have yet to see one so in fairness that may change,so I understand why the Goblins looks may not appeal to many people.

    What I do like is the fact that we as heli fliers have so much choice available right now from a growing amount of heli manufacturers,I don't think we have ever had it so good.

    San Goblin sounds like a fine gentleman, I've no idea why you'd insult him like this; and so publicly too.

    San, if you're reading this, don't take it personally.

    I love it and have loved it from the bigginning, I saw Rob Brammers one a couple of weeks back and then another one yesterday in a local hobby shop, each time I see one it make's me want one more and more. The machining is incredible and I think it looks cool as

    You pays your money and you takes your choice

    Me I love it, and I can confirm that Matt Long does too

    I really liked the photos I saw when it came out I bought it on the strength of that, now I have it it is even better than I had hoped.

    I am glad not everyone likes it, it keeps me in an exclusive club

    Why pointless? Simple question. We buy partly on looks and aesthetics as well as on performance. Especially if your paying thousands on a bird I think it's a very valid question.

    I buy solely based on the looks and sound of the helicopter. They usually fly well as a bonus, good engineering usually looks and sounds great.

    I didn't like Goblin looks at first but it kind of grew on me.
