Hello

I am a Gohbee 50 flier. There are a few of us on the "New and emerging helis" category. Go down to that one and try it out.
My Gohbee flies alright. I have had a few issues with it but the best thing is I live near David (who runs Gohbee) and he has helped me out a lot on any problems I have had. My stinger 50 is working a lot better now. I think some of the problems were manufacturing and have been worked out in the later models.

xtreme dampers are a must. tock units are to soft. Also you might want to get the alum tail pulley guides.

The early kits did have some issues.
The new kits are pretty good now.
I would highly recommend the On Edge dampers and metal head for all out 3D.
If you are not into all out 3d yet, then the plastic head with the On Edge dampers is fine.
If you are going to run a 401, I would also add the tail speed up gear when you are ready for fast backwards flight.

So far I have been quite happy with the Gohbee 600mm carbon blades and the Gohbee Carbon paddles.

I love my Gohbee 50, I have only had it for about 3 weeks, it is all stock for now except I have the TT carbon blades and I made a set of 14g carbon paddles, this is the same setup I had on my old raptor 50 except I had flybar weights on it, and it flies equally well, flips and rolls are incredibly fast, I will probalby add flybar weights to tame it down a bit since 14grams are a bit too quick, or I may build another set of 20-25 carbons. But it is rock solid in the air and I haven't found any bad tendencies so far. so far for the Price I will definatly rate it above the Raptor, since my raptor 50 lots of upgrades (the all metal head etc). the only fault I found is it still has the crappy tail hub like the raptor, I will Most likely change it to the century tripple bearing tail.

if it has a yo yo efect? i have not had that problem with any heli i have owned, take off the ball link on the colective sevo and move by hand to see how much drag ( hard it is to move the colective ) maybe the ball links are to tight? the colective should be smooth. the same for the cyclic..

I just got mine going. The only problem I've had is the depth of the dampner sockets are not the same, ie. one side is deeper than the other. This made the feathering shaft too long and the grips had WAY too much play in them. I found a washer and put it below one of the damners and problem solved. Only problem is now I have a vibration prob

I love the way this thing flies, smooth but responsive. Almost burned 2 gallons the first week

The only upgrades I'm considering are for metal grips and head, so Flyinfool, get ready for my PM
