Gohbee Aviation Stinger 30-90 > Introducing the Gohbee Stinger 60/90 RC Heli!

Introducing the STINGER 60 & 90 Radio Controlled Helicopters! Have you ever wanted to step up to a 60 or 90 size heli, but just couldn’t justify the cost? Well take a look at the Stinger 60/90:

Affordability - With the Stinger 90 you get the flight performance of a bigger machine without the big budget. The Stinger 90 features an aluminum head assembly, an open aluminum tail box with a belt drive and aluminum frames. The base kit comes with a nice fiberglass canopy, a header tank and retails for $499.99! This makes the Stinger 90 one of the most affordable 90 class high performance kits on the market. The Stinger 60/90 is available with several main rotor blade choices – all at affordable prices! Be sure to checkout the replacement parts cost….again making flying a bigger machine more enjoyable!

Performance – The Stinger 90 is a great flying heli! She will flip, roll, and pirouette just like you would expect any 3D capable heli to fly. We will be posting some flight video very soon so you can see her laying down some smack!

Interchangeability - Just as with our 30 & 50 Size Helis, many components below the swash plate will interchange with a Raptor 60/90. However, please note that we did not maintain as much compatibility on the Stinger 60/90 as we did on the Stinger 30/50. If you have a question, feel free to give us a call or shoot us an email. We will publish a list of direct replacements soon. If you’re a Raptor 60/90 owner, keep an eye out because we will soon be introducing a belt driven tail conversion kit you’re your Raptor 60/90!

So check out the Stinger 60/90. You’ll be glad you did!

Upcoming New Products: We've been working on & testing several new upgrades for your Stinger 30/50. Be on the lookout for the following new products soon!

Tail Speedup Gear for Stinger 30/50 - You've asked for a higher tail ratio for the the Stinger 30/50. We're gonna deliver! We'll be introducing an 8 Tooth Tail Pulley that will increase the tail ratio from 4.44 to 5.00. We've been testing the new ratio for the past several months. With the new tail pulley the tail holds rock solid during backwards flight through high collective maneuvers. Oh yeah...this gear will fit Raptors as well!

On Edge Damper System for the Raptor 30/50 - The One Edge Damper System has worked so well on the Stingers; we decided to apply the design principles to a version that fits a Raptor head. Looks like it's going to be a winner here as well!

4mm Flybar Kit for Stinger 30/50 - You've asked for a stiffer flybar on a 50 size machine. We've been testing this one since last summer. Look for this kit to take your Stinger 50 to a new level of 3D performance!

CARBON FIBER ROTOR BLADES & ACCESSORIES - We will soon be introducting our own line of CF Main Rotor Blades and Tail Blades! We're also introducing Fiberglass blades as well. In fact we already have our 680mm Fiberglass blades available now. We'll have CF tail fins, tail booms and tail servo mounts as well!

As always, thanks for your support and feedback! You're the reason Gohbee is on the GO!

By the way, Jeff (Flyinfool) has been testing the prototype tail speed up gear kit. So if you have any questions, he can tell you about the performance improvement.

I have never had the opportunity to fly a fury or stratus.
I only flew a R90SE once and it was setup so soft that I was afraid to fly it and landed after less than 1/2 tank.

There is a R90 flying at our field that I know is well setup for 3D that I will try to talk the owner into letting me fly.

I am trying to acquire a used R60/90 to have for comparison and upgrade testing.

The sppedup gear is in the process of manufacture right now.
The first parts should be done by the end of this week and I will put one of the first production parts into my 50 to be sure that all is good and then they will be ready for sale.

I got mine the other day and I'm in the process of building it. It is an arf, but I am going over every screw and lock tightening. The tail box and head are pre locked very well from the factory. I also switched the clunk line to hayes. I'm taking my time building, but can't wait to fly it. The instructions are a little vague, but aren't they all?

More new Products!

MORE GOOD THINGS FROM GOHBEE! Time to fulfill some promises! You asked for them and here they are! Take a look at the following new items & opportunities:

    Aluminum 8 Tooth Tail Speedup Drive Pulley - The stock tail ratio on the Stinger 30/50 (and Raptor) is 4.44. This is an acceptable ratio for beginner to intermediate pilots. However, if you like to do things in fast reverse, then you need this speedup drive pulley. The new drive pulley bumps this ratio up to 5.0 giving you more tail holding power in backwards flight. Use the heat shrink tubing included to help encapsulate the dowell pin that locks the pulley to the tail shaft. ...and oh yea, the speedup tail drive pulley will work for Raptor owners as well! Give it a try; we think you'll like the results!

    Carbon Fiber Blades, Fins, & Booms – Introducing our line of CF main blades, tail blades, booms & fins! We're now shipping 600mm CF blades! These blades are manufactured with the precision and quality you demand...and they fly great too! Check them out and see for yourself! Performance and at an affordable price...the Gohbee advantage!

    More to come... Next up on the new product list is our "On Edge" Damper system for Raptors. Don't be fooled into thinking this is just another damping system for your Raptor. The unique design principle behind the "On Edge" system is the separation of lateral and radial damping forces. This is achieved by using separate inner and outer O-Rings. The result is a rigid damping system with smooth transitions. In addition, we've got more new products coming down the pike! Be on the lookout for the "On Edge" Damper System to be available for the Stinger 60/90 very soon. Also, coming soon is the Tail Belt Drive Conversion Kit for Raptor 60/90 owners and don't forget the 4mm flybar kit for the Stinger 30/50. Stay tuned....

    Gohbee Desktop Calendar Contest - That's right...get your Gohbee some recognition! Email us pics of your Gohbee Stinger! We want to see your heli! If we like it, then we'll feature it in the upcoming month's downloadable desktop calendar! We'll post each new calendar to our home page a couple days before the end of the month. The desktop calender makes a great background for your computer screen. We'll also list the month's heli events that we will be attending. If you have a particular event that you would like included in the calender just let us know! Checkout the March calender available at www.gohbee.com. (you'll need to scroll down a bit) Images should be a decent resolution and in good taste. Please limit two images per email and one entry/email per month. Please email your pics to sales@gohbee.com.

Thanks for going Gohbee!

We've got some video up now of the Stinger 90. The video is about 8.6MB and can be downloaded from the gohbee home page, www.gohbee.com. Look for the link to left above the scrolling pictures. ...or click on this link...

Beware that the volume starts kind of low and then gets louder during the video! I've got to fix the volume setting and re-render it! Enjoy!

90

I flew the Stinger 90 the other day and have no complaints. It had a faster cyclic reaction compared to my Raptor 90 with it's stock flybar carrier arm configuration.

To sum it up it flys just like my Raptor 90, only difference is the amount of money I had to stick into the Raptor for the necessary metal upgrades. The Stinger comes with all the metal parts in all the right places at a very low price.

...Tim

You fly RC helicopters? Can I have a ride?

Just an update!

Now shipping...the ON EDGE Damper System for Raptor 30/50 rotor heads! We've had such great response with the ON EDGE system in our Stingers that we decided to release it for guys flying a Raptor rotor head. Give this damper system a try! We think you'll like it! Coming soon....the ON EDGE Damper system for Raptor 60/90 Rotor Heads.
