[NSRCA-discussion] NiMH Question, now Banshee kit.

[Dean Pappas]

Hi Ed,
You need to get a real set of plans for the Banshee from Flying Models.
The tail moment on the kit was shortened by a couple of inches, so that J&J could get the fusde sides into a shorter box.
The kit plane had a Kwik-Fly dance, while Jim Matrin's did not.

Bob:
Any chance you know where to get a foam core for the Banshee?  I've got an original wood kit, but the wing ribs included were for the wrong model, some kind of fixed chord design.  
 
Thanks
Ed

Dean,
 
Speaking of really old pattern stuff, I held something in my hands today that you probably have not seen in 25 years. A NIB fiberglass Banshee. :-)  Funny thing was, it was a kit that I bought new about 30 years ago, and I was able to track it down through 3 other owners.

If you pick a good low-leakage Schottky diode like an MBR1100, then there won't be any problem with the diode leakage discharging the battery, and the voltage drop would leave ! you with better than 4.4V on a 5-cell pack with one open. You can buy them at Digi-Key www.digikey.com <http://www.digikey.com/>  .
 
later,
Dean

Hey Bob,
Remember the old Orbit ads with the picture of someone flying his plane and then showing the battery with one "cutaway" cell?
