The-show-your-Banshee-Picture thread

I am just speechless, the quality is outstanding and it feels half the weight of TDR , just amazing. I am not sure who was more excited me or my 8 year old daughter.

[jhunter]

Awesome! I'm pissed I missed the mail man. Which motor are you trying first?

[hndaluvr]

He's probably so excited he'll probably try and put all three in at one time!!

[abanihani]

pyro 800 first with kosmik 200, followed by 4535 and finally 4540 powercrocco just before IRCHA 2013 speed cup

[jhunter]

Nice. I'm using 4535 then 4540 for speed cup. We have to represent, no matter what division we are in

[whytlotus]

Looking good....Same color combo here. Only 10 1/2 hrs until the post office opens, but who's counting.

[jhunter]

I went the opposite of that, red windshield with yellow flare. Looks great. 8 hours and 15 until my post office opens

Yes, but you need to add blades first...

Loving mine, flew today

[marcosp]

Someone put this thread as a sticky!!! Nice pics everyone!!!

[mkovalcson]

OK, now is when I start having NON-buyers remorse!

Sweet looking heli guys!

[Breezyjr]

Why on earth on running BLS 157 airplane servos in the beautiful heli?

You don't need 500oz of torque, but you DO need a sevo that center correctly!

Why do you 1,500oz (or 93.75 pounds) to move your collective?
These servos were meant for giant scale airplanes.. And, believe me, I will overbuilt a heli like you would believe...

But, really, you would do fine, with the 166oz of the BLS255, it still produces 498oz (or 31.125 pounds) of collective lifting power... Is at least 0.02th of a second faster.

I'm not saying you have to go out buy some 255.. I was using it as I comparison...
But, I would seriously considering keeping the 157s...

But, it is YOUR heli.. Your feel free to do what you will with it... Just trying to arm you with knowledge... What you do with it, is completely up to you...

I wish you the best of luck with you work of art... If fact.. Can' I have it? hehe

happy flying

Dam, dam, dam, dam!!! Tough cookie to beat! This kind of makes my decision easy. I am competing with the Banshee!

Unless Jan comes with something wonderful in time...

[marcosp]

Joe, the 157 are more than fine for helis. Actually for FBL many prefer torque over speed once you are below say 0.13? I recall someone (Stolla or Jhunter or Vinger or some other usual member) say he felt the heli more solid in fast hurricanes after switching to 157s.

I am using 156 on my TDR which aren't the fastest but do have a lot of torque, in between 255 and 157, and they fly work really well.

On the other hand I placed 4th on the Speed Cup with 451s.....

[helicraze]

Went out flying today, got a few good flights on it, finally got it dialled in, it wants to go quick thats for sure!!

[abanihani]

Helicraze, I think you are using full size vbar, can you post a photo how you installed it, the damn thing has tiny space to fit anything in the back

[craigcec]

No 17......

1/2 way through fitting gear. Should be right to go early next week.

Quality is amazing. Very happy.

Cheers Craig.

Thanks Michael, that's what I thought, looks busy with wires all over, I will be shortening all wires and maybe use a HC unit and give it a go. I will contact Rob to see if he can come up with a great idea of a stacked mount for the full size vbar on the Banshee
