| I got a Stinger 90 about a week ago and have been going through the manual and checking out the quality of the Stinger. I like the quality as it seems fairly good. I have not been able to find any slop in the moving parts at this point. Also, the materials seem to be good quality. I believe the differences you will find for the most part favorable and needed from the Raptor. I am surprised by all the negative comments concerning the quality of the kit. It is my understanding the kit did have some quality issues ... what helicopter has not when it first arrived on scene? One area for improvement is the manual. I have built many helicopters and since this is an ARF (my first ARF) it has been very easy putting all the parts together however, if I was new to building it might be slightly difficult to build since the manual only has exploded views of the parts. A better manual is needed in my opinion. Also, I have randomly removed screws which require loctite and all have had loctite. The ARF labor quality is very good. David with Gohbee has been a great resource and has answered all my questions. I'll report more information once I begin to fly the helicopter. So far however, it appears to be a good helicopter.
