He meant it in jest, meaning the only game that you guys play exclusively.

Thanks Vinger

I do apologize ,Sorry Lotus7 my bad , lost in translation, as you can probably tell i'm a hardcore Aussie Rules fan ,there is no other game for me

[lotus7]

No offense taken :-)
All of that is what is good in the competitive spirit of the sportsmen and fans of both countries.

So little to discuss about the Banshee, that we went WAAAAY off topic...... Just goes to show what a heli it is!

[mkovalcson]

There is only one thing missing. A full fuse.

I'm waiting to see what the Speed Henseleit looks like to figure out if this is worth pursuing since there is a lot of effort involved. If the Speed Henseleit is light, narrow and can handle extremely powerful motors with no problem it may be a moot point.

[marcosp]

I bet it will be all that Mark, it's the trifecta of speed. Plus decent blades and good piloting.

[wblombard]

Marco, have you managed to fix your banshee yet? Man I wont be able to have it in pieces for so long!

[wblombard]

I just received my new battery straps!!!! Very nice indeed

[helicraze]

I got some too, hope the stitching holds, all my stock banshee ones came undone in flight 1 by 1

[wblombard]

After loooong debate and reading I decided to install the ferrite rings on my Banshee. She just gained some extra weight but rather safe than sorry.

[helicraze]

Fair enough, i never had them on dozens on helis

Hi guys, Chris here new owner of banshee 22. I picked the banshee up the day before I had to go away working for a few weeks I'm back home tomorrow and am wasting no time getting her in the air. Won't be making many changes from john's setup same servos, motor, speedy and blades. Changing it to 14S thou and using vbar, and am adding about 500rpm and a few more deg's of pitch will look into a custom wound motor in the future Huge thanks to john for parting with this spectacular machine and am very excited adding a banshee to my fleet of helis. Thanks to all you guys for having some great threads to read through have learned a lot about the banshee and setup tips etc.

You're going to love it! Last night I heard the howl of my Banshee

[Vinger]

Welcome Chris, and yes you other helis will feel lonely soon!! Enjoy her.

[wblombard]

Here is a short flight of banshee No 48! Damn I love this machine.

RPM was at 1880....yes I know I need to crank her up to 2300 RPM....honestly I'm afraid. She is flying so well at the moment.

Enjoy

Banshee No 48 -quick short flight! (1 min 7 sec)

[Raptorapture]

Love the windowing technique! At first I thought what a small window, perhaps an orientation issue. Then I got to experience no shakes Great post processing I assume? Oh yeah, love the heli and thanks for sharing

I'm being told the same thing and I'm getting ready to try it out in the near future!

[wblombard]

Glad you guys are enjoying the flight. Now that I have a you tube account i'll add some more videos. This time i'll ensure it get taken landscape and not portrait...its a little small for my liking.

[marcosp]

Go through 2000 or 2100 first. 2300 is A LOT, and 2000 is already scary!
