Has anyone coverted a Banshee to electric. I pick up one at a swapmeet with a fox 35 on it, the balance point is before the LE. I was going to move the motor back but when I looked at a set of plans the motor rails do not go back very far. I was thinking this may be a good plane to change over.

Thanks Steve

P.S. I looked in setup's but could not find one.

I've seen two electric versions at the Nats.  They both flew very well.  Sam will love it.  You only need a 4S2200 or 4S2650 batt. for 4-1/2 min. flight time.  Plenty for the Beginner Pattern.  Brother Will may fix you up with the same set up his Son flew at the Nats, only you can probably get away with a smaller mah batt unless you need nose weight. A 35 Amp speed control, Hubin FM 9 timer, and lots of choices on mtr.  Try to keep the all up weight to around 38 oz.  You (she) will have a winner and she can put her name on the Eagle's Nest Trophy next year.    Tell Sam I said Hi.  

HI guys, do you have to shorten the nose. The weight of this thing is only 22oz with the fox 35, tank and no spinner. Could not believe how light it was, thought there was something wrong with the scale. This might be why it is so nose heavy. The fuse in the back has been sanded and look to be a thin on the outside edge's.  Samantha did her first lazy eights today and outsides today, and half of a overhead. Her inverted is pretty good. She allways wanted to tuck it under to come out of it. Todays flying end with a figure 9,but thats ok. She started to do what she wanted where she wanted and 90 deg to the wind and in it went. It was not to bad I will have back in the air this weekend. This year flying is just about over, only 45 today and started to get windy. 60 next weekend hope there is no wind.

Thanks Steve

Dan I dont know why it is so light. I put the Hole Shot on the scale and it is still 34oz. I thought it was the scale, it is off my work truck and it is about 6 month old. This could be a scrach built and very light wood, I know that I cant build this light. The fox even has a muffler on it. The first hard landing it could break in half. It does not look like it ever flew. The covering need to be replaced, i have allready put a hole in it

Cant wait tell next year and to see everyone. Samantha is doing alot better, Bob Hunt got an the handle with her in Ohio and did some lazy 8s and help with other things. She out flys me so I cant help much. Guys that fly around are helping her, Dick Imoff that help me when I was a kid, is now helping Sam. He is a old combat flyer and he can still fly great. If we can get are field back and dont have to drive 30 miles one way she should start coming along fast.
