SAB ilGoblin Competizione SG779
Born from years of competitive experience and rigorous testing with elite Goblin pilots, the SAB ilGoblin Competizione is the most performance-focused version of the ilGoblin platform. It was designed with a zero-compromise approach where every detail is aimed at reducing weight, increasing precision, and improving the overall flight feel.
Compared to the ilGoblin RAW, the Competizione is lighter, sharper, and more competition-oriented. It features a sub-2 kg airframe, redesigned structure, 12 mm triple-bearing main shaft support, quick rear battery insertion, 35 mm carbon tail boom with internal aluminum reinforcements, and several upgraded rotor and tail components.
The ilGoblin RAW is still an excellent choice for pilots who want a proven, powerful, and slightly simpler Goblin 700 platform. The Competizione is the choice for pilots who want the lightest and most refined ilGoblin setup for aggressive 3D, precision flying, and competition-level performance.
Why Choose the Competizione Over the ilGoblin RAW?
| Airframe Weight | Competizione: 1990 g | ilGoblin RAW: 2122 g |
| Main Shaft | 12 mm main shaft with triple bearing support | 15 mm main shaft |
| Tail Boom | 35 mm carbon fibre boom with internal aluminum reinforcements | Aluminum tail boom |
| Power Setup | 6S–12S setups | Typically 12S, 480–560 KV |
| Battery Access | Quick rear battery insertion with integrated connectors | Standard RAW battery system |
| Best For | Pilots who want the lightest, sharpest, competition-focused ilGoblin | Pilots who want a proven, strong, high-performance Goblin 700 |
Designed Around Lightweight Competition Performance
In competition flying, weight matters. The ilGoblin Competizione keeps the airframe under 2 kg while still being able to handle extreme power and aggressive maneuvers. The frame, drivetrain, rotor system, boom, and tail assembly were all selected and refined to deliver a more direct and precise flight feel.
Main Frame & Drivetrain Layout
The main frame is lightened and redesigned for high rigidity while keeping unnecessary weight to a minimum. The 19 mm motor belt is built to handle high torque loads, and the high-efficiency tail belt tensioner helps maintain consistent belt performance.
- Lightened 2.5 mm full carbon frame
- 19 mm motor belt for high torque applications
- Quick-release battery system with rear insertion
- Battery room: 50 x 60 x 300 mm
- Multiple FBL mounting positions
- Extra rear servo support for demanding flight loads
Main Rotor Head System
The main rotor head is optimized for a true 1:1 control ratio, giving the helicopter a very direct and connected response. This is one of the key areas where the Competizione is focused more toward precision and competition-style flying compared to the standard RAW platform.
New PEEK Rigid Damper
The new rigid damper system is designed to improve responsiveness and precision. This gives the Competizione a firmer, more locked-in rotor feel, especially during hard cyclic inputs and aggressive maneuvers.
27 mm Blue Radius Arm
The upgraded radius arm layout contributes to the precise control feel of the Competizione. Together with the optimized swashplate geometry, it helps deliver a clean and accurate cyclic response.
Titanium Blade Screws & Titanium/Delrin Blade Washers
The Competizione includes premium lightweight hardware in the rotor system. Titanium blade screws and titanium/Delrin blade washers help reduce weight while maintaining strength and precision at the blade grips.
New Rear Cyclic Servo Mount
The rear cyclic servo area has been reinforced with additional support. This helps maintain precision and stability during high-load maneuvers, especially for pilots pushing the helicopter hard in 3D or competition flying.
35 mm Carbon Fibre Tail Boom & Tail Belt System
The Competizione uses a 35 mm carbon fibre tail boom with internal aluminum reinforcements. This setup keeps the tail structure light while maintaining strength and rigidity. The new tail belt tension system is designed to keep belt performance consistent and easy to manage.
Lightweight 35 mm Tail Case
The lightweight tail case features an oversized bearing for improved durability. The one-piece shaft and hub design helps improve precision, while the double-pin tail slider reduces slop for a more locked-in tail response.
High-Visibility Competition Scheme
The bright yellow, black, and blue colour scheme is designed for excellent visibility and orientation during fast maneuvers. The Competizione keeps the distinctive Goblin look while giving the helicopter a sharper competition identity.
