RE: Lil Banchee replacement
Without any question the Skeeter 30 now available from [link]http://www.billyhellrc.com/skeeter.html[/link]. Apparently they only have the kit now, but this is the easiest plane I have ever built. I actually framed and glued the wing holding it in my hand and it's perfectly straight. I'm running at 14oz AUW(with battery) and landing gear. With my Hacker A20-20L it pulls out of a hover at ballistic speeds. The plane flies 3D great and also does great just flying around. The speed range is very impressive and it's responsive at any speed. I really like the high alpha knife edge figure 8's it will do. All your current hardware should work very nicely on a Skeeter 30.
Here's a pic of mine prior to finishing it. It has more than 12 hours flight time on it now.
