SAB ILGoblin Competizione Helicopter - Nitro Version

SAB ilGoblin Competizione Nitro SG781

The SAB ilGoblin Competizione Nitro brings the high-end Competizione platform to pilots who prefer the unique sound, feel, and tuning experience of nitro power. Built as a native nitro helicopter, the SG781 combines the lightweight, competition-focused ilGoblin design with a layout optimized specifically for combustion performance.

This model incorporates the same premium updates found on the electric ilGoblin Competizione, including the optimized main rotor head system, PEEK rigid dampers, 35 mm carbon fibre tail boom, upgraded tail system, rear cyclic servo support, and lightweight competition hardware. The difference is that SG781 is designed around a .90 to .105 nitro heli engine, a 650 ml fuel tank, and a dedicated nitro drivetrain layout.

If you want the sharp, precise, competition-ready feel of the ilGoblin Competizione but prefer nitro power over electric, the SG781 is the model to choose.

Native Nitro Design

The SG781 is not simply an electric model converted to nitro. It is built as a native Nitro version of the ilGoblin Competizione platform, with the layout optimized around combustion power. The result is a clean and refined nitro helicopter that keeps the sharp, premium feel of the Competizione series.

• Designed for .90 to .105 nitro heli engines
• 650 ml fuel tank capacity
• Throttle servo support for standard 40 mm or mini 35 mm servo
• 2S 1800–2500 mAh receiver battery support
• Competition-focused ilGoblin platform upgrades

Main Rotor Head System

The Competizione Nitro uses the updated main rotor head system optimized for a true 1:1 control ratio. This gives the helicopter a direct, precise, and connected control feel, especially during aggressive cyclic inputs and competition-style maneuvers.

Combined with the new PEEK rigid dampers, titanium blade screws, and titanium/Delrin blade washers, the SG781 is designed to deliver a locked-in rotor feel while maintaining the premium lightweight approach of the Competizione platform.

35 mm Carbon Fibre Tail Boom & Tail System

The SG781 includes the 35 mm carbon fibre tail boom design with the updated tail boom locking washer. This helps keep the tail structure rigid and secure while maintaining the lightweight, high-performance design goal of the Competizione series.

The lightweight 35 mm tail case, new tail belt tension system, and upgraded tail components help provide a more precise and reliable tail response under demanding nitro flight conditions.

Competition Platform Upgrades

Like the electric Competizione, the Nitro version benefits from SAB’s high-end competition updates. These upgrades are focused on precision, rigidity, control response, and durability.

• Main rotor head system optimized for a true 1:1 control ratio
• New PEEK rigid damper system
• 35 mm carbon fibre tail boom with new tail boom locking washer
• 27 mm blue radius arm
• Titanium blade screws and titanium/Delrin blade washers
• New tail belt tension system
• New rear cyclic servo mount
• Lightweight 35 mm tail case

Why Choose the Nitro Version?

The SG781 is ideal for pilots who want something more than a standard electric 700-class helicopter. Nitro flying offers a unique experience: the sound, the smoke, the tuning, the throttle feel, and the mechanical character that many pilots still love.

If you enjoy tuning engines, managing fuel, and flying a helicopter with a more traditional combustion feel, the ilGoblin Competizione Nitro gives you that experience on SAB’s modern Competizione platform.
