Yes from the swash plate down they are basically a raptor but the head is completely different and flies like a dream compared to a raptor. You have to fly one to really appreciate how much better than a raptor they fly. Its like night and day.

I got a Gohbee Stinger 50Deluxe and I couldn't agree more with the above statement!!!

It went together very very fast (arf), no hassle with adjusting links and it flies WAY WAY better than any raptor. (When compared std. R50 -->> Gohbee Stinger 50Deluxe. That's a fair comparison $$$ wise)

I would recommend it to anyone

Cheers,

Richard

uhuh, I do love my R90's though

Seriously, the gohbee stinger 50Deluxe has some good features over the R50 imho.

- Just as heavy as a std. (plastic) R50 (lighter than a blinged R50)
- Just as cheap as a std. plastics R50
- No need for lighter paddles
- No pitching up or down when you want fast cyclics (V-paddles work VERY well on a R50, but the std. paddles on a gohbee give similar results)
- Nice quality fiberglass canopy
- no hassle with the links, they were adjusted PERFECTLY and the sheet with the measurements were accurate. Unlike the raptor manual which flaws bigtime in this department.

I have owned a R50 with XeroG frames & all upgrades money could buy.... with top notch electronics. I also fly different helicopters on a regular basis (helping people & teaching).
Anyway, I don't have 100s of flights on the gohbee so I don't know how it will last, the only upgrade I bought for it are the new dampers ("on edge") and it really doesn't need anymore.

It's a nice helicopter for the money, don't say it's junk before you tried it (not saying anyone did )


Cheers,

Richard

It will not be a wire drive.
It will be a belt drive with a faster tail rotor.
After looking at some of the issues with the Raptor 90 and the prototype Stinger 90 it was decided that this will be better for a lot of people..
This will greatly reduce the OOpii cost.
The belt will also not break tike the tail gears do every time the tail rotor touches the grass or snow.
The faster tail rotor will help a 401/9254 keep up in backward flight.
