2 questions about goblin 700 gasser

[DaweMD]

First thing is what are people using in the gv1 for gear ratio on this bird?

What length of linkage rod are guys using for the throttle arm? What end points in the transmitter? I am having a real headache trying to set mine up.

For gv1 use gear ratio Carey says. See build thread approx. throttle rod beginning point on build instructions.

all the kits include the complete throttle servo mounting/control rod setup, you just need to size it for your servo

the Leviathan kits are almost turn key, just add engine/muffler/electronics to your donor model. The "complete conversion" includes the donor model, blades and the fuel tank/plumbing.

Century conversions are also complete with all the parts.

Most other conversions let you complete them using various parts based on your preferences.

Not sure why it wasn't said already, but isn't the goblin GR 7.03?

As far as the throttle arm, the goblin uses the same RC motor as many other machines. I would expect that you should be able to use the Futaba stock servo wheel with the stock carb arm. I use that with my Spectra-g and the Whiplash and it works well with the RC motors and the GV-1. Distance is about 7.5mm.

+1 final drive ratio 7.03:1 on the standard goblin, 7.13:1 on the competition, 7.92:1 on the 770 comp (perfect for a 3 bladed head on a 700 )

Ball distance is 11mm, I'm using a standard Futaba servo arm using the outer hole ~12mm, Linkage arm length is ~94mm.

Using an Ikon so I can't really help with the other questions.
