New Stinger 90 pilot...

[Makis]

Hy,


i´m a new Stinger 90 pilot and i have now some questions.
Sorry, but my english is not so good... :oops:


What for a engine can i use for the Stinger 90?
My first idea was the Webra Speed 91 P5 AAR

for the swash plate i will use Futaba S9252 servos...
is that system ok?

i have a muffler zimmermann (german product) here....but my first option is the MPII... so i want to use the zimmermann muffler about 2 months and then the MPII...
or what is your proposal?

are the original blades from gohbee good enough for 3d?

what can i do, to sharpen the system?

what is your experience about problems in the Stinger system?

sorry for so many questions.... :roll:


greatings from germany.... :D

Questions are always good, the 9252s servos will work great, i have them on my one of my stinger 90s, i dont know much about the webra engines but have not heard bad things so it should work fine for you, the zimmerman pipe will be good till you get the MP-2 pipe, you may want some lighte paddels for 3D if thats were your at for flying , other then that nothing to worry about other than time to fly.... :D

As Scott mentioned the stock paddles are heavy for 3D.
You may also want to consider the On Edge dampers if you are into hard 3D. The stock dampers are a little soft.
You asked if the stock blades were OK for 3D. Are you referring to the paddles, or what kind of blades came with your Stinger 90?

[Makis]

Hy....



thank you all for the answers!

The blades came with the Stinger 90...on the blades you can read: JS (jing shi)??
the color is silver! i know that the blades are CFK Blades....
they look really fine... :D

the paddles are to heavy...so i don´t know with whichsoever i can change it?
V-Blades? SAB? orig. TT paddles?

i have no idea.....the 50ccm helikopter was till now my area :oops:



thanks for your help....

oh i forgot to ask a last question:

i have a S3152 Futaba servo here...can i use it as a gasservo?

[flyinfool]

At the moment I have the red TT paddles on my 90.
I don't really like the way that they fly for me, Gohbee is working on a set of carbon fiber paddles for the 90, as soon as they come out I will try a set. For now the the only other paddle that I have tried on my 90 is the MAH carbon paddles, which I liked a lot till I broke one. I would think that almost any light weight carbon paddle will work fine.

The silver Fiberglass blades are OK for light 3D but I would be leery of any hard collective pumping type maneuvers. I have not heard of any failures that were not ground related but then I also have not heard of anyone doing hard 3D with them either.

Wekk today was my test flight for my TZ90 and i have V padels on it but they are extreemly fast, i had to drop the DR to 40% and guess what i fly my stratus at 100%

[flyinfool]

Oh man, don't tell me things like that.
Now I have to go out and get a set of V paddles to try. :wink:

[Makis]

Hy


today was my testflight (first flight) with the Stinger 90!
Its a really good helicopter.

But i have a problem:


the CFK Blades from Gohbee are foul. I have al lot of vibrations. My first guess was the the engine...but the motor works great.
the Blades are very bad. the machining is bad, they have big waves.

What for Blades can i use now??

[scottc]

you could try to get the blades balanced if that helps, a guy hates to get a bad set of blades, what kind of blades are available in your area.

[flyinfool]

Contact the dealer that you got the blades from to get them exchanged for new ones.

[Makis]

Hy guys...


at first:

ill thank you all for the 1 class help in here!

THANKS!



no back to the problem:


we have here MAH Blades, SF Blades, SAB blades, Radix Blades BBT Blades...


my next questions has got to do with the paddles:

are the orig. paddles 30 gr?
I want to buy some lighter paddles....SAB? or V-Blades??

have a nice day guys....

The stock black plastic paddles on the Stinger 90 are 52 grams.
Great for learning to fly but pretty slow for 3D.

[Makis]

i can fly..... with the R50 i can make loops, rolls, fly on the head....turns...

52 GRAMS.....WOW...this is really hart and i know now why it is feeling like a boot!!!!


lol


thank you JEFF!

[Makis]

I have a new (little) problem...



my stinger 90 has initial easily removable rust!!! :shock:

are the screw from so bad quality??

[flyinfool]

The coating that makes screws black is black oxide.
Black oxide does not prevent rust.
What black oxide does is to give the metal a slightly porous surface so that oil can soak in.
It is the oil that prevents rust.

Without a coating of oil any brand of black oxide screw will rust.

You are getting the heli too clean. :)

You could use stainless steel or plated screws but the cost goes up fast.

[Makis]

Hy guys...



YES!WOOOW!
the heli runs like a Raptor 90SE!! now i can sell my Raptor 50 SE!


My testflight with turns was an amazing feeling! the Stinger is a great helisystem! WOW! only the paddles are to heavy....! i have bought some paddles with 25gr. And SAB cfk blades...i cant await to test it with the new paddles...!
The raptor 50 was my first and last TT helikopter!!!


best regards from germany!

[Makis]

OMFG!

i have weighed my Stinger 90!

he has 5 KG!!!!! o my god....this ist to heavy!!!! what can i do now??? CFK upgrades??

my battery is a 3600 Sanyo! (heavy)

a Raptor 90 has only 4700gr.

[flyinfool]

When we did some testing at our field with a digital scale (Admittedly a cheap one) my stock Stinger 90 with MAH 710 blades and MAH carbon paddles, weighed exactly the same as a R60 that had an os91 CS installed, 680 V's and V paddles, the Raptor also had carbon frames and a QUK one-way assembly. Both helies had as much fuel removed as the pump would pull out. The rest was all very similar equipment.
They both came out at 10.6 lbs (4808 grams).
I did have a 4200mah Li-Ion pack with regulator and the Raptor had a 4400mah Duralite w/ reg.

I put no faith in the actual measurement of the weight but in the fact that the weighs were repeatable and did go up with the addition of a small amount of fuel.
So I am confident that these 2 helies weighed the same but I am not sure exactly how much that is.

[scottc]

My stinger 90 weighted 10.3 lbs, and this othe guys hirbo 90 weighted 12.2 lbs
now my stinger is stock and had no fuel in it with a jr 4600 battery as well.
