Very brief summary of my Banshee 575 -
Wings extended to 48" span for ribs... (full length of the kit spar, LE and TE pieces.)
Wing moved 1" forward - yeah, messy, but useful...
Flap root and tip chords about doubled...
New center section ribs, identical to outer ribs. All outer ribs capstripped 1/16 x 1/4; center section cutout enlarged to match...
Tail aea increased to 20% of new wing area (disregarding tips, which serve the aerodynamic function of keeping the rain out...)
Re-hacked the fuselage side view to something I could tolerate from the handle. Sorta 'stretched Spitfire fuse and fin...'
Wing mounted gear, second rib out...
Originally designed around a 12 oz PAW 35 diesel (which I later learned had an oversized venturii ID) that needed 3 oz tailweight for design CG. Substituted a Brodak 40, scrapped all tailweight. Flies like it did with the PAW, but more consistently. IOW - GREAT! Flying weight w/Brodak 40, about 40 oz (w/PAW 35D about 45 oz, and certainly capable of toting that weight.)
Nothing personal, but I do not want to look at the side view of a stock Banshee. It does not inspire me. My B-575 has enough area and airfoil% to fly very differently from the kit Banshee, and for me, is much more pleasant to look at while it does.
Just might post a pic of my B-575 (the working area with the mods described.) Later...
