    More interesting than listening about Linux clustering ...

    Thats what this forum is for!

        The Goblin is still being built. If there's some aspect of the two that you'd like a comparison shot of mind, happy to oblige!

        The Goblin is marginally bigger than the Trex. (different definitions of "500")

          Some shots, canopy off Trex to allow better comparison. Note, boom not properly installed in Goblin yet, so probably showing it as about 1 to 1.5cm longer than it really will be.

            Not wishing to pick fault, but have you got your swash driver arms the right way round on the Goblin, looks like your pitch links are not vertical......could be caused by the plastic driver arms being put on the aluminium arm the wrong way round.....

            I could be wrong, I haven't got my kit yet....just an observation....

              It's a visual effect of the camera - the links are straight in reality!

                    What colour are you going for? If it's the red/white and you're waiting on the second batch, QuickUK still have two in stock.

                        That's a much better picture, glad they are straight, otherwise I would have been worrying all night about it!!!!!

                        Due to financial constraints (sodding mortgage!) I am waiting for a red/white from the second batch......however I have been sitting with my finger hovering over the 'buy' button on a Quantum 4120-1200 and the new YGE 90LV.....!!! Worried they might run out of stock........

                          Swings and roundabouts . QuickUK give you a 5% voucher for every spend against your next purchase, so it all works out the same in the wash. (I got the Talon90 for ~£55 off the back of the Goblin purchase)

                          Oh, you've got more self-control than me. I'd buy the Goblin now and get building, and leave the electronics for next month! In fact, that's exactly what I did as I originally had a pre-order for the 2nd batch with Fastlad until I noticed QuickUK had them in stock (yellow, all gone now). But as you're waiting for Red - I say go for it! Instant gratification is the name of the game !

                              I can't understand how the biggest advantage of the DFC head hasn't been posted, so please allow me. I find it fits in the bag better!
