Devil 380 Fast lmfao

This wouldn't happen if we quit buying clone crap. People keep buying it. People keep justifying it. Hard working people get screwed

+1000

If people didn't reward these thieves by buying their cloned (stolen) designs, it would stop happening.

ALZRC used to make aftermarket fuselages so a Trex 450 Pro (real or clone) would look like a Gob, now they are making the entire stuff.

This is why I have a Blade. Although to be honest people will buy it to crash cheap and then upgrade with SAB parts when they get proficient enough. Crashing a Goblin bad is like getting a new Blade. But I do appreciate the brand support though.

Because it's theft of intellectual property. Would you be OK with that, if you invented something and then some Chinese company started copying it and undercutting your price?

Is that even exactly like a G380? Doesn't seem to look exactly like one. (I mean... Align clone, you can downgrade... Oops I mean... Hell no, I can't say it... Change to "real align" parts... Later) I don't think this one is close enough. Maybe I need to look closer, but it does not look like an exact copy... Just similar, like a close relative, not a twin.

If it's not exact, it's a 380mm Chinese heli with a sick drivetrain that can fit maybe a G380 canopy.

How much is it?

If there was ever a doubt that SAB was getting really big and closing in on Align...

I mean it "looks" good.

If the Head assembly is well built with some decent aluminum than why not.

But I agree the posts above about theft of intellectual property from SAB. Even if it's not an exact clone.

It sounds like a Goblin G380

Something is way different. This one apparently uses a 3020 kv motor.

I don't think parts will be compatible with a real goblin.

Agreed it sounds like a real one, and you gotta earn it to make that sound.

I can't find a price on that thing anywhere... Drat!

I'm so curious as to how much this things gonna be. The Goblin 380 at $400 will have room for discounts... If you bought one brand new, then sold it as a kit because you decided not to build it, you'd be getting $250 at best... To compete, they'd have to be lower than that... Just imagine that thing is $150-$160 for the kit...
