Had mine over a year ago..its not new..Check the bolt that holds the head to the mast,....you have been warned..
Also metal collective tray will soon become very sloppy..

That is a TZ 90..Mine was exactly the same but was crap so i sold it..
Check that mast securing hole for the headblock...

Metal head and washout become very sloppy
Plastic swashplate is chunky and limits cyclic travel
metal brg blocks thread strips very easily,suspect poor material
Loads of up/down play develops in mast requiring shims under top brg mount
Metal tailfins on mine just cracked all over the place

Massive glitches caused by tail drive rattling in inner races,cured by using TT tail drive shaft..


did i mention the poor head securing issue with an extra hole drilled above the original one intended for the TT head..thought not

Pic of mine was taken Xmas 04,yours may be newer but its the same old bird(DODO)

Mine had no instructions because I have not written them yet.
Your heli is a TZ heli, it is NOT the same as the Gohbee Stinger 90 will be.

That is why the Gohbee will not be available till all of these and other quality and design issues are resolved, and the Gohbee costs just a little more than a TZ.

Gohbee will not put its good name on the heli or sell it as it currently exists.
That is what R&D is all about and that is what I am working on right now.

The Gohbee Stinger 90 will be a great machine by the time we are ready to release it.

The anticipated pricing for the Stinger 90 blinged out like in the pics will be around $550.
Avaliability is planned for late October or early November, but everyone knows how testing can go if any problems apear.

The shapes are the same. The parts look the same.
The improper tolerances or sizes causing slop are being fixed, the lack of heat-treating or improper material selection is being fixed.
These types of things are not visible in a photo but do make a huge difference in the heli.

All of the things that you mentioned were noticed on the first prototype that Gohbee saw, most have now been addressed for the Stinger 90.
All issues will be corrected before the Stinger 90 will be released to market.

Gohbee intends to get it right before you are able to get your hands on it.

I realize that some heli manufacturers will let the general public be their beta testers, others will not. Gohbee is trying hard to be one that will have all the testing done right before release.

The future TZ helies may well benefit from the testing and development that Gohbee is doing now, if they decide to incorporate all of the Gohbee changes across their product line.

It's a Raptor with an under-slung flybar. How much testing could that take?

Yep,i did not realise you were intending to refine the product,i have just seen a new TZ 50 deluxe and it looked a fine piece of kit so maybe TZ have raised their quality in the first place..Good luck with it..

How much testing and testing and testing and testing you ask?

Well the testing continues till we feel that all bugs have been uncovered, fixed and will not recur.
I cannot say up front just how much that will be.

I believe that the finish is bead blasted and electro-polished.
I do not know that for sure, that is just what it looks like to me.
