My New Banshee, Thank you Mr. Brickhouse!
« on: June 03, 2012, 02:40:35 PM »
Here's the new Banshee with the wings covered in Ultracoat and all the rest done in Rustoleum as per the Brickhouse article in FLYING MODELS.  This plane was built as a break-in horse for my EVO-36.  Flys great and I love the way that motor starts!  Hope the pictures attached!

I use that article as a touchstone also, and appreciate having a whole 'system' spelled out.

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

Hi from S.W.France Richard.
Great Banshee , one of my favourites. Mine has a Brodak 40.

For those of us who cannot take 'Flying Models' , can you give us some brief details please regarding Allan's modifications to the original Banshee  ?

Also , I have an Evo 36 ....Great engine.

What is your set-up please ? Prop' , fuel , launch RPM  etc  ?

Kind regards ,

Probably the April and May issues of Flying Models with the Louis van den Hout Olympus for the subject matter.

The article in question was a two-part piece about building the "Olympus", with the second part being mostly concerned with finishing with film covering and Rustoleum.
