Gohbee Aviation Stinger 30-90 > General Stinger 50 Questions

I fly mainly Raptors and as a result, I have a bunch of Raptor parts on hand. I recently picked up a Stinger 50 airframe that I plan on building and flying instead of using it for parts. From what I understand, Stinger and Raptor parts are interchangeable below the swashplate. Sitting the Stinger and one of my Raptor 50s side-by-side, they do look like they could swap parts pretty easily.

My question is what about the parts you can't see? How about parts like the clutch bell, starter shaft, pinions, etc. Do all these parts fit without issues between the Raptor and Stinger? Are there typically clearance issues that you run into when trying to use, say, a starter shaft and coupler from an R50 in a Stinger? Should I generally not have a problem using Raptor parts in the Stinger airframe?

yes the parts are the same for the most part, some time stinger parts my be a different color, like I think the tail pully use to be black on the stinger, and red on the raptor! but yes the parts will interchange!

work hard, play even harder!!!!

That's good to hear. Another question I thought of, is the gear ration between the R50 and Stinger 50 the same? I have a spare R50V2 10T pinion that I plan on using if the gear ratio is the same.

As was said above all of the parts below the swash will interchange.
If you hold a raptor and a Stinger part next to each other and look closely you find differences in color and physical shape, but the parts will still interchange.
