I am considering building an E Banshee (sig kit) I searched and didn't find anyone who has done one. Soooo what would be a good set up for one and do the mods as far as shortening the fuselage or moving the wing position apply to an E conversion ?? I have all kinds of E stuff just have never used any of it. If you could dirrect me to info on the nose construction for E power also.

One other question, I have an Oriental Profile kit. Would a set up for an ARF Oriental be in the ballpark ??

TIA

Thanks William, here's the motors I have
Scorpion   3026-890
               3020-16
               3014-16

AXI          2820/10
               4120/14
               2808/24
Atlas        2909/20
Turnigy     3548 kv900 and 1100

Don't even remember why I bought most of these. Impulse I guess   I don't have an E oriental, I was refering to the set ups in the List your set up thread.

how about recommending a specific battery and seller ( doesn't have to be the best) TIA

I received my Laser cut E Motor and battery mounting system from Walter Umland today. In a word WOW, this stuff is great. I'm going with the Scorpion 3020-16 motor I have some Gadex 4s 2200 battery's I'll use for now and not sure which speed controller, will have to check my stash for the timer also. Hey Walter the bearing fits perfect !! Not sure when I'll start on it as there are unfinished projects but I'll be reaserching and studying up on my build before hand.

My guess the Phoenix 35 would be enough.

PHX 35 on mine.

I have a slime-powered Sig Banshee that I'm told has the nose shortened (I dunno by how much) and the tail lengthened.  It flies great.

Lengthening the tail (and making the tail feathers bigger) is an aerodynamic thing that's not going to change with going from slime to electric.  Shortening the nose on a Banshee is, as far as I know, all about making it balance with a newer, heftier engine than the Fox 35 (probably without muffler) that it was originally designed for.

Were I building one I'd move the wing forward in the fuselage or lengthen the tail end of the fuse, probably to roughly match the Fancherized Twister plans that are floating around the web.  I'd increase the size of the tail feathers ditto.  But I think I'd leave the nose long at least until I'd mocked up the balance, because electrics seem to need longer noses to balance correctly.

   Hi Dennis do you have any pictures by chance ? i will try to see if walter umland has any motor /battery mounts available.
Thanks
Ron

   Thanks Dennis
I will keep serching the threads and see were it goes.

That reminds me I have a Banshee kit in the basement too. The wood in those Sig kits can be pretty heavy. I was going to use it as a template and build it from 6 Lb balsa I got from Lone Star.

Ha This is really funny that what is was going to do but then i thought it would be quicker just to build the kit,but alas now im trying to convert nobler arf to e-power so maybe can get quickly in the air gotta finish something. ive just started going inverted flite and since it seems to rain every day is this normal oh well patience
