I felt that since I had done an homage to the Der Red Max as an R/C rocket glider, I owed it to the Goblin fans to do something similar, so here is the Gobliner....27" long, 2.6" diameter, 24" wingspan, body tube and 6mm carbon reinforced depron wings/tail surfaces completely covered in 3m 220 automotive vinyl except for the nose cone which is painted. I left the bottom of the stab/wing white for contrast in flying and save about 3/8 ounce, and put a black stripe on the bottom of the tube also to help with orientation. Waiting on goblin decals from Stickershock. 7.12 oz dry airframe or 11.25 oz rtf with radio and E-6 motor...I chose vinyl as an experiment, it added about .6 ounces over paint, but it is cold in my garage and I couldn't find a foam safe paint in that color near by in stock...Gobliner name courtesy of Walter Portnell who coined it for me....
