So, I bought a goblin 700 off Island Breeze not too long ago. Got it all reassembled and setup. Took it out for the maiden flight on Saturday.
Two videos.
First one is of pre-flight checks. Boring, but perhaps of interest to those starting out. Caught a tail correction reversal problem toward the end. Spin up and auto-rotation bailout testing caps it.
Second one is the maiden flight. Hover, blade tracking check from a distance, some forward flight, piros and pitch pumps to test tail gain, gov gain/esc, and tail setup.

Next flight will have a high advance timing in the ESC, along with a 6.5 minute timer. Will be doing inverted, roll testing, cyclic gain testing, large and fast right to left ail loops (test tail setup and gain), and that will be about it until I can get it to the club field to do some high speed big air stuff to fully dial in gain settings on cyclic and tail. Not sure when that will be, gotta wait for a break in the weather.
