Construction materials: The Banshee is an all balsa construction and built very(extremely) light. This is a ARF and that goes together very easily. The instructions are very clear.
Comments:First let me say I would recommend the Cermark Hover motor package if you are insterested in this plane. I put in the AXI motor because I already had it to power my DragonLady. With the AXI motor I have to run 16 instead of 10 cells plus a receiver battery. This is all extra weight that is not be needed. But never the less with all the extra weight my Banshee is nearly 5 lbs. At first I had a 14x6 prop but the Banshee would not hover. But with a 16x8 prop it had VERTICAL performance. I also run it on a 18 cell pack and it is totally ballistic. At last I have a plane that will do anything. At least I'm learning to. Even as heavy as my plane is it will slow to a crawl. I flip the flap switch and it will land in 2 feet. With the power it will go vertical in 2 feet. I have flown rolling circles and rolling Loops!!! Another note is if you put the C.G. an inch or more forward this is a very gentle and extremely stable plane. When you get comfortable with it move the C.G. back and you have a "Wild Thing". I added the wheel pants for a better look I think. I love flying this plane. It has become my favorite to fly. Note: the landing gear is very light and if you have trouble landing smoothly you may want to practice your landings. I see it as a toss up. This plane slows so much that is is almost like landing a feather. But my extra weight I still have to give the landing gear a little tweek from time to time. This plane is built very light and I don't think it will stand up to much rough abuse. BUT!!! This is a plane you can really enjoy to fly!
