[NSRCA-discussion] Activities for a Sunday ,, was Too Quiet

[Bob Richards]

I still have a NIB J&J Banshee kit I bought in the '70s. 
 
I would really like to see his new version.

Getting my Enigma original design outfitted with the new Syssa 180 gasoline engine. The soft mount build has just been completed and retrofitting on the firewall just done. It just  needs servos and it will fly next weekend weather permitting

On Ed Alt's suggestion, we went to fly with legendary pattern competitor, Jim Martin. I first saw him fly 40 years ago, flying his Banshee design in a manner I had never seen before. Extremely fast, right on the deck, with extreme precision. He was twice my age back then and being a rank beginner and shy, it never occured to me to approach him just to talk. Well, 40 years later, I got the chance. What a nice man... one very interesting thing to me being of Armenian decent, he told me that he also is of Armenian decent. That's pretty cool to me

He explained that he has a new version of his famed Banshee in a more current, much better done fiberglass/foam configuration that he intends to electrify. That should be cool.
