Gohbee Stinger 90 build thread

[Nitrohuffer]

I don't know how to do one on these threads, but in case you guys want to get a slamming heli for the money here's the deal. If you go to www.gohbee.com you will see the deals you can get. Their support is awesome for a small company starting out. They even have a forum for tech questions, issues, whatever. Dave and jeff are super cool guys who will get back to you and Gohbee has some great stuff coming out in the near future. As for why I went with a Gohbee, I myself can't afford to blow $900 on an airframe, but I also would not have gone gohbee if it were junk. Is the finish as good as a avant or tempest? Not really. Is it better than a stock raptor 90? With out a doubt. Who notices when it's in the air, and that is where this heli will spend time. I'm not into hanger queens.

Heres how it comes out of the box the pics of the parts as I unwrapped them

The first thing I did was change the clunk line to Hayes. Just like the raptor, the stock clunk lines only last so long, and it's easy to pull the tank before the heli is assembled.

To get the tail done you need to get the belt around the tail drive shaft. This is done by pulling the tail boom mount out of the frame, and splitting in half.

[ShortBus]

That looks like a real head scratcher to me!

[Nitrohuffer]

Make sure you have it so the belt drive shaft spins counter clockwise when looking from the top. This makes the tail blades happy and helis fly better when the tail rotor is not spinning in reverse. Don't laugh. I've done it in the past. You can mess with your gyro gain all day, it aint gonna help that.

Don't interrupt! ShortBus, it's so easy to figure out when you have it in front of you. Aaaannnyyy waaaaaay . Put the boom supports, horizontal fin mount, and tail control rod guides on and set the assembly aside. If you need pictures for that, maybe you should look into getting a helmet and riding the shortbus. (not the Shortbus from FG ) Put your landing gear on! NOW!!! DO AS I SAY!!! Now put the #@$@% lotion in the basket!!!!

Take the shaft collar off and slide the shaft in the frame until it cant go any further. (stop it, I didn't go there and you shouldn't too) Slide the shaft up and tighten the set screws(make sure there is no up and down play in the head and frame.

[Nitrohuffer]

Put your head on. Line up the holes in the main shaft with the ones in the head, put your Jesus bolt through and tighten. The term "Jesus bolt" refers to if this bolt comes out when you're flying, only Jesus can save you.

You're right about spinning the tail backwards. I've done it before!

[Nitrohuffer]

Measure the links and double check they are the same as the lengths given in the manual. Put them on, make sure they are not too tight and the head is done

[Nitrohuffer]

Now mount the tail. The weight of the head and having skids makes it easier as now the heli can stand on it's own. Mount your motor mount (the different holes are for YS and OS), fan, and clutch.

Note: This is not the stock fan! The stock one does come pre balanced which is sweet.
