Gohbee Aviation Stinger 30-90 > Gohbee to Raptor parts...

What do I need to watch for in main frame parts compared to the Raptor 30 v1 parts that are the same. I've trashed my Raptor 30 v1 (pretty badly too!) and the parts that are available for the Raptor 30 v1 are now mostly just the v2 parts and it seems that they don't necessarily match. In other words, if I order Gohbee frames can I depend on them fitting a Raptor 30 v1 setup? If not what other parts may I have to order to get it all back together and working?

Later...

Scott!

i don't think the stinger parts will fit the raptor V-1 as the stinger is loosely based on the raptors V2 heli. i may be wrong tho.

Hey I didn't ask for this fetish.!!!But I'am sure paying for it....

Hmmm...

It might be time to start looking at a Stinger or a Raptor 30/50 v2.

As much as I have spent on repairs on my Raptor 30 v1, I would have been better off buying a complete Stinger kit

Kind of funny how the economics work out sometimes.

As far as the frames are concerned the Stinger 30/50 frame is not a direct replacement for a Raptor 30/50 V1 It is a replacement for the V2.
I am not certain of all of the differences between a V1 and a V2, but I do know that the start shaft, clutch, clutch bell, pinion and the bearings on the start shaft/clutch stack are different.
I do believe that you can still get the old V1 parts to fit the frames, it just might take a little bit of fiddling.

It has been too many years since I have looked at a V1 up close.

Or like you said It might be time to upgrade the whole heli since there are a lot of improvements between the V1 and V2 that make it worth while.

That's OK...

I see HeliProz still carries the V1 frames. So that problem is out of the way. It's another week before the Raptor is back...Oh brother!
