has any1 heard any pros/cons on the stinger 50?

Hi:

All I can say is that I prefer Raptor/EVO50 until I test the Stinger 50, now I'm Gohbee Field Rep...
check my Gallery;

the Stinger combine Raptor frame and EVO style head, the best of two worlds.

Any model has cons. or opportunities for improvements.

regards,

If you're planning on buying one, even if its the best thing since sliced bread, make sure you have a reliable source for parts that has them in stock and will ship one in a timely manner.

If you are in Orlando, have you been to Graves? They have a LOT of helis in that place.

I work at JR Hobby is kissimmee. We have been carrying the gohbee line for a little while now. Our heli guy Frankie has sinced switched from raptors to gohbees 50 and 90 and wont go back. We always keep the 30 and 50 kits and parts in stock. If you have any questions let me know

Once on a business trip to Orlando, I took a colleague from Belgium to Graves and he almost died!!!! There are so many planes and choppers hanging from the ceiling you cant even see the ceiling. No Kidding, If they dont have it, or cant get it, you probably dont need it. The staff are very friendly and will give you great service. Its always a treat to stop in when I am in town.

this forum looks dead but my dad has a buddy from work that has a brand new stinger 50. he bought it new and built it but didnt fly it a single time...its got the hyper 50 and futaba radio and gyro. he said he would sell it to me for 800. is this a good deal?

Depends on what Futaba radio and gyro.

im pretty sure 401 gyro but as far as radio and servos..im not so sure but i will find out and update you

do Raptor parts work on it?

Yes,
many parts works on Rappy under the head assembly, just verify the web site Gohbee.com. Also you can improve your Rappy wth Gohbee underslug "flybar" head -"more responsive". The advantage its the price and good customer service from David.

for example - you can replace your Titan boom by Stinger 50 boom+belt for le$$

best regards

Well I haven't flown a Stinger 50 but I have a Stinger 30 and I really like it. David is a real good guy to deal with and I always get fast shipping from Gohbee. www.gohbee.com for parts, kits and upgrades.
