MattK,

Seeing your beautiful Banshee is getting me to want to finish mine that I started at least 3 years ago. Actually I was building two at the same time. One was from a Eureka short kit, being modded for Spring Air retracts. The other was from a J&J kit and was going to have fixed gear.

I always have had a ''thing'' for the Banshee, as I kid I used to call for my Dad at pattern contests, and I remember watching Jersey Jim flying the Banshee. I thought it was the coolest looking plane out there (with Bonetti's Troublemaker being the second coolest). Guess I gotta get my work area squared away and get to it this winter. Keep up the good work, looking forward to see what you do with the finish and trim scheme.
