I just got my Stinger 90 yesterday.
Finished building and setting up today, batteries are charging and she should get her maiden tomorrow.
Tomorrow will not be any thing real exciting, mostly breaking in the new 91 PS, and working on pitch and throttle curves.
It should be ready to rip for IRCHA.
Here are a few pics for you to start drooling over.
Dude, you have to get that custom canopy soon, and ditch the armadillo lol. You should get that thing rippin soon tho, it looked pretty cool.

I agree Tom, I thought maybe gohbee would make something of their own, instead of copying the raptor minus the head. Don't get me wrong tho, it looks like it will be pretty cool once it's broken in. Can't wait to see the new canopy Jeff.

Well, to answer some questions for FLYINFOOL this is just prototype, not the final model. Hei is sponsored by Gohbee, so this is the first stinger 90 made, and they are not available yet to the public. It is definatley going to be a pretty cool heli when the bugs are worked out. This model will be at IRCHA, so if you want, you can see it in person.
Hope that answers some questions for now.

It was tough beating off those aliens, and convincing them not to blowup or assimilate the world.
HA, resistance was not futile.
Like Eric said, the Stinger 90 that I have is a preproduction prototype.
I was the lucky Gohbee Field Rep that was selected to build and set this baby up.
Of course that means that I get to fly and play with it to.
Gohbee is hoping to start shipping by late October. Pricing has not yet been determined.
The engine is almost broken in, I will start tuning in the needles hopefully tonight.
The Stinger 90 will be at IRCHA next week, for all to see and fondle.
OK COOL thanks for the info and I guees the aliens didn't hurt you ha ha,,,,,,,,,,,,

Holy roll rate.
I put another ˝ gallon thru it tonight.
I finally got a little bit out of the hovering and slow forward flight for break-in.
This Stinger 90 is gonna rock.
I have never flown anything with the crispness of control that this heli has.
I set my helies up to be on the sensitive side, most pilots say my helies are too sensitive.
This was the first heli that I ever flew that I thought was too quick on the controls.
Even with 40% expo I still had to cut down the dual rates to 60%.
At max throw the roll rate was faster than the piro rate of most helies.
All of this and I am still running 1700 head speed.
I thought the stinger series of helis were the same as the TZ range of helis?
ercmarket has the TZ90 in some time ago, and I have also seen one of these TZ60 some time back. It looks exactly the same as the Stinger 90 pictures that are posted up.. so it cannot be that there are only a couple of these around????

We already selling the TZ 60 and 90 for last 6 months.
Since the beginning we had the full range of the kits.
TZ is the original name, all other names is a local brand name.
For sure they all come from same factory.
We deliver original spec as from the factory, including Fiber canopy and more as a standard.
recently new beautifull canopy stickers were produced to complete the look of this beautifull heli.
For price of 30+% lower then R90 SE you get around 30+% extra upgrades and fiber canopy . All this should be purchased seperately with other kits..

The Stinger helies are in fact very similar to the TZ helies and are made in the same factory.
The reason the Gohbee's take longer to market is because there is a lot more testing done and there are some issues with the TZ 90 design and quality at present that Gohbee in not willing to put their name on.
As soon as these issues are resolved the Stinger 90 will be made available.
Some of the improvements remain unique to the Gohbee line since they cost more to manufacture.
Gohbee is the “local brand” or exclusive importer in 6 countries now, and available to all.
Off hand I do not know what the list of countries where Gohbee has exclusive rights.
I am not aware of the standing of Gohbee vs. TZ in Europe.
I do know that the TZ is not available in the USA unless you purchase it from an overseas vendor, and that is where your support for TZ will also come from.
looking good and bright FLYINFOOL
