Beautiful Banshee. I have a kit started, but has a warp in the wing. Will still like to finish it one day. I have a Fox 35 that I cleaned and rebuilt for it too. Thanks for the inspiration.

So please tell what is wrong with "asking $200?
From my understand a seller may ask any price that he wishes. The actual selling price is very often up for negotiation.
Would anyone here have it otherwise? If not, how would you have it?
Oh Dave the problem is not asking but trying to beleive it is worth that!
Tried to say it was new and unopened but if so how did MD convert t wihou opening the box?
Said they were no longer availing when infact MF will convert any .010 for $25 and claimed that they only had a website up to distract from his eBay listing I know that non of that is true because I have been in contact with Roger the owner.

Didn't the Romans have a saying about that?
If your still building the fuselage be sure to either set back the wing or the engine. The Banshee is a great plane but if built according to plans it will be very nose heavy. The warp can easily be removed by steam and also heating the plastic covering. Do some surfin' there's a great article done 10-15 years ago by a well known PAMPA guy on modifications to really make the Banshee fly well. Please feel free to PM with any questions on C/L stunt.

Here's one that kinda neat, it's one of my first designs I built it when I was probably 12, quickly made a biplane out of it, but I think it may of flew better as a mono. The photo is a scan of a slide...my Dad was big into slides back then. I think the wheels came off my PT-19 The pilot was a small happy face button....this was the seventies!

Nice Mark and those do look like pt 9 wheels.

I know for tiny models it is really hard to get good results with iron on I have since found better films.

His prices aren`t dirt cheap, but you DO get what you pay for when buying from him; when he says it is n.i.b., it IS like off the shelf back in the day it was produced.
Sadly another US only seller.

OK, let's have some control liners here, enough of this R/C stuff!
Phantom Mite that I built from the original Keil Kraft kit plan, when I first got back in to modelling, in this picture it had a Black Widow fitted but I decided discretion was the better part of valour and never flew it on that, retro-fitted a SureStart and flew it till it fell to bits!

I glanced at the Spit at the weekend.
The engine is V Odd I'll pull it out of the garage to night an
take a few shot of it.
I just fired up a Golden Bee that I got siezed on Sunday for a tenner.
What a loverly engine kinda reminds me of the Texaco.

I went to pick a few oddments up Wilf and the Guy said "you can have that for a tenner".
I took it home gave it the Panel wipe then Plusgas treatment and taadaah.
It ain't the prettiest you'll have seen and he thought it was only good for bits.....

Well bearing in mind I still don't really know what is and ain't I'd say yes it chuggs away very nicely.
I think I'm getting the hang of them at last although the 010's are a different kettle of beans.....
I had one running backwards for a few seconds last night,
I thought "that's not supossed to happen"!

The guys in camden really are good people and have a lot of good stock even real kits still in stock.
Did they remind you that you gotta shake it from time to time?
