    New Aerobeez 48" Mini Banshee!!

    Looks like I will also have to change my ESC, the ESC I was using may have had some water damage because during my setup yesterday, it decided to smoke and sent a full 12.6v to my receiver, which in turn fried that as well :eek: When I looked at the ESC, there was some moisture underneath the...

    New Aerobeez 48" Mini Banshee!!

    The last handful of steps to completing this airplane are to install the servos, control horns, and linkages. This process essentially repeats itself 4 times so I will go into detail on the Elevator servo then we'll just cruise on through the Rudder and both Ailerons. Start out by getting your...

    New Aerobeez 48" Mini Banshee!!

    Did some more progress last night. I found a 3542-1400kV motor that I want to try out to see how it does before I try the Himax. I am thinking a 12x6E prop with this high of a kV rating, should be fairly ballistic on 3S I think. If not then we'll prop up to 13x6.5E. The process of mounting your...

    New Aerobeez 48" Mini Banshee!!

    The last couple of things you will want to do are to slip the wings onto the fuselage (don't forget the wing spar) and slip the cowl on, then set it on a table and stand back to admire the airplane :cool:

    New Aerobeez 48" Mini Banshee!!

    Last steps for the airplane assemblies is to glue the firewall in place. This is fairly straightforward so no need to worry. The firewall only fits in one way, the carbon struts will be on the bottom of the firewall when installed. Slip the assembly onto the airplane, the struts have their...

    New Aerobeez 48" Mini Banshee!!

    We're on the home stretch now!!! Grab your left and right wing panels as well as your left and right ailerons and both wing root extensions. Also grab 10 CA hinges. Working with one wing panel at a time, mark the center of your CA hinges and slip them into the pre-cut slots in the wing...

    New Aerobeez 48" Mini Banshee!!

    The tailwheel assembly will complete the rudder and landing gear assembly. Grab the tailwheel bracket and slide the tailwheel in. Take the tailwheel bolt/axle and slip it into the bracket through the tailwheel. The phillips head portion of the bolt goes into the countersunk hole on the bracket...

    New Aerobeez 48" Mini Banshee!!

    Installing the rudder is easy. Grab 3 CA hinges, mark their center points, then slip them into the fuselage. Slide the rudder over the hinges. Make sure the rudder is lined up properly using the bottom of the fuselage as a guide. Saturate the hinges with thin CA, repeat for both sides of...

    New Aerobeez 48" Mini Banshee!!

    Moving onto the horizontal stab an elevator assembly, first we will need to remove this plywood plate. It's there to help factory workers assemble the airplane straight and true as well as keep the airplane rigid enough for shipping. I like to save these because I will more than likely wind...

    New Aerobeez 48" Mini Banshee!!

    :banana-dance: More assembly last night, the airplane is pretty much ready for electronics at this point. This flap can be tacked back down if you would like, but I wouldn't recommend gluing the entire seam. Just a couple of drops of medium CA and it will stay firmly in place, yet open right...

    Next up we can begin the actual assembly of the airplane. Here is a basic list of adhesives I will be using: -GOOP, for joints that need to be flexible. -BSI Insta Cure +, for filling in joints. -BSI Insta Cure, for saturating joints and hinges. -BSI Insta Set, a kicker that is safe for use...

    New Aerobeez 48" Mini Banshee!!

    The very first part of the actual assembly is to punch out some of the excess EPP from the fuselage and cowl (they will punch out by hand easily enough, if you would like you can use a hobby knife to do this process). The excess is there to help factory workers assemble the parts as well as to...

    New Aerobeez 48" Mini Banshee!!

    Spent some time laying the parts out last night and doing some initial prepping for assembly. The first thing you always want to do with a new airplane is lay out all of the parts to make sure you have everything. If you find something is missing then please give a call or send an email to...

    New Aerobeez 48" Mini Banshee!!

    I've flown the 38" Slick, 48" Extra, and 55" Edge, they all fly phenomenal. Aside from the 38" (it flies like a big foamy), the 48" and 55" fly like much bigger airplanes. The plywood and full airframe design give the airplane more momentum entering maneuvers so they tumble better and recover...
