The SAB Goblin RAW 580 Nitro brings the performance and engineering of SAB's larger nitro helicopters into a compact and agile 580-size platform. Designed around .50 to .60-size nitro helicopter engines, the RAW 580 Nitro delivers the sound, feel, and power of nitro while keeping weight and fuel consumption more manageable than a larger 700-class machine.
Built for pilots who want a modern, high-performance nitro helicopter, the RAW 580 Nitro combines SAB's lightweight RAW-style design with a versatile drivetrain, a 440 ml fuel tank, and support for 550 to 600 mm main rotor blades. The kit includes SAB S-Line 580 mm main blades and 95 mm tail blades, making it an excellent foundation for sport flying, precision aerobatics, and aggressive 3D.
