Have any of you noticed that the Banshee sounds a little more muffled by the fiberglass canopy ?

It's funny because normally I like a heli to be quiet, but with the Banshee I just want the volume turned up!!!!!!

BTW I'm getting ready to bump my pitch and head speed up. Fasster made a convincing argument that I'm ready to experience what this heli can do!!!!

Havent tried so i dont know! But id hate the note to change its the whole experience of this heli that makes it superb!

Mark I have never flown my Banshee with the Carbon canopy only the fiberglass one, what I hear is nothing but the blades. It sounds good to me!!!

Man, best of both worlds! Can't wait to be in the air!

I agree Mark, the CF canopy does seem to have a harsher, more incisive sound. I guess a full fuze sound box would be even more impressive!

I hate to say it but I was a little underwhelmed with the soundtrack with the fiberglass canopy and I think it just sunk in.

GF does absorb vibes better than CF so be consoled that there are less high frequency nasties jazzing up your Skookum gyro sensors

John I am not so sure about that unless the CF makes that much of a difference, I have a full fuse BlackShark and because of the full fuse it is alot quieter than it was before I put it in the fuse...

Fly with you CF canopy a couple times and let me know if you don't get a better sonic note.

wblombard · 02-02-2014, 08:37 PM

I will try that and revert back. Cant think that it will make a difference

Ok Mark if I remember the next time I fly the Banshee I will try it and let you know what I think....

GF canopy definitely muffles the Banshee howl, flown them back to back, the original CF one makes it sound angrier!!

Great to hear! Pun intended

I also have a FG canopy but haven't had a chance to try it.
