SAB Canopy - Goblin Buddy 380

great replacement canopy

Canopy arrived in perfect condition from Helidirect as usual. The color is even brighter than my old one so much easier to see.

Love the graphics and colors and the high visibility for a smaller size heli.

Canopy arrived quickly and in good shape, well packed and no defects.

I have been flying Goblin helicopters for many years and have always been impressed with their quality and precision. In particular, their canopy and booms have allays been of the highest quality and works of art. We have flown goblin 380’s for many years and have always been impressed of their durability and ability to take an impact. In my one 380 , I have crashed it at least 10 times over a period of 3 years and have never had to replace the cockpit or boom. The canopy would always pop off in a crash and protect it. The boom would always properly break away in a crash and only required a new bolt to get it back into service. The Buddy Cockpit and Boom are as fragile as egg shells. On my first flight with the Buddy, my ESC went into low voltage mode and the Heli gently auto rotated down to a landing, the blades wound down to almost a stop but lightly touched the boom before they stopped. The boom shattered from an extremely low speed blade strike under no power. This is not acceptable. The canopy started to loose its paint as one just put the canopy on and took it off. The canopy magnetic mounts and rubber grommet started to break off of the canopy due to the flimsy glass joy around the canopy mounts. The Buddy fly’s great but cannot take the slightest crash without self distructing the boom and canopy. Go get a used Goblin 380 and continue to enjoy the great SAB quality that we have all become use to. Let the Buddy die an ignominious death with all its boom and canopy flaws

Canopy is your typical goblin canopy. What’s the most impressive to me and the reason I keep coming back to helidirect is the quick order fulfillment and shipping.
