I'm not sure. You would need to contact LOC for further info.

Wildman's sale on both the Loc and Wildman Goblins indicates the answer is "Yes". I'll commit a few from my family to play, so I call it a green light for launch!

I'm looking forward to pictures of the "Show & Shine' contest

Unofficial update. Spent some time with the Wildman over the weekend...my understanding is the contest is LOWEST altitude with a 4" Goblin wins. It must be a nominal flight (IE: leave the pad, deploy chute, recover without damage). H motor for motive power; obviously must have an altimeter onboard. More to come!

Looking forward to seeing the official rules on this one. I would play, but would have to glass and carbon that crap out of it, you know how I roll.

Let's just say my plans for this involve some creative liberty with one of the Loc kits, so I hope they will accept a wide variety of glassed Goblin's in the official rules!

I'd love to see some coverage (photos and writeups) focused specifically on this contest. Can't wait to see what people show up with.

Mine is in paint and almost ready. First two tests taught me some things, so iteration three will be my attempt. Just a BT60 Goblin I'm not going to win, but I might break mile and that would be cool.

I'll try to get pics of stuff too, will be shooting a lot while I'm there.

Why BT-60 instead of the OG (Original Goblin) BT-55?

Fitting a chute release, altimeter and tracker.

And I already have a BT55 one

I hope you get some video.

 

[WILDMANRS]

Yes it is lowest altitude with an h motor
