    Xpress does a BANSHEE build...

    Well it flies!!!! The DA70 is INSANE with how much power it has!!!!! And it has only gotten stronger every flight!!!! Today I only put 4 flights on it, 2 gentle and 2 very very mild flights, still breaking the engine in and getting used to the airplane. It is just a tiny tidbit...

    Xpress does a BANSHEE build...

    Every Slick I've flown flew rock solid in any attitude so I can't agree with the precision aspect being lesser than any other airplane out there. Either way, it's going to fly awesome. I did one last mod tonight and that was moving the ignition battery out from the cowl back to the wooden tray...

    Aerobeez "BANSHEE" 91" Slick build

    The dual Maxima receivers provides you with dual redundancy so if one receiver loses link with the transmitter, at least you still have the other one controlling part of the airplane until the link is reestablished. It also provides me with more channels to plug power into since I am actually...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Actually no, unless there is an active recovery flight system (like ACT or SAFE) then the gyro doesn't fly the airplane. All it simply does is eliminates any of the oscillations or bumps in the air from wind or turbulence or otherwise a poor flying model. YOU still have to tell the airplane...

    Well looks like all of our summer weather finally wore out, it's all rainy today. Straighter than an arrow does ;)

    To me, the Slick is the ultimate 3D/precision airplane, combining all of the best elements of the best performing airplanes out there into one package. Huge side area, long fuselage, tall rudder, extremely stable wing platform, wide elevators, it is really the ultimate 3D airplane at least to...

    I prefer the Slicks. I have 3 of them now!!! -44" 3DHS Slick -70" Aerobeez Slick Pro -91" Aerobeez Slack "BANSHEE" If Aerobeez releases a 100cc Slick I'll be all over that one. :)

    Pilot RC 37% Edge 540.....Who's Flying it!

    I've got mine waiting in the basement, I'm going back and forth on whether or not I want to buy more equipment for it or wait until my 107" Yak piles in... Decisions decisions... :face-palm:

    Aerobeez "BANSHEE" 91" Slick build

    Not all airplanes are going to be exactly identical since they are all essentially hand built, plus airplanes are all finished differently depending on the builder, so one maiden video will never match someone elses maiden video. Everything you put on the airplane can affect it in the air, even...

    I'll go with a carbon one, usually the spinner is the very last thing I buy.

    We don't film or photograph maidens around here, unless you don't want to take the airplane home with you :p :oblong:;)

    That's where we will start it at, then we will tweak from there if I don't like it. I work for Hitec, they'll be onto me like white on rice ;)

    Aerobeez "BANSHEE" 91" Slick build

    Well it's been a nice relaxing weekend mostly, got lots of work done on the airplane. The RCGF55 template was almost a near perfect match for the DA70, I did have to ream one hole slightly (that could have been my own doing though). Test fitting the beast. I did run into an issue with...

    Xpress does a BANSHEE build...

    One final build update. I was told that I would need to do some baffling for the DA70 so I made a pair out of 9mm Depron I had lying around. The best part about the depron is the heat will melt it to the correct shape around the engine. I decided to mount my ignition battery here. If it...

    As promised, here is the updates. This all happened over the past few days. The RCGF55 template was almost a perfect match for the DA70 (I have to ream one hole out slightly) so I used that as my drill guide. I almost hate having to cut into the CF, it looks so good. Test fitting...
