Default Banshee

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">Hello,</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">Firstly, I&rsquo;d like to thank all of you who have contributed to this forum.I&rsquo;ve done much reading here, and learned a lot.It is very much appreciated.</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">I&rsquo;m fairly well along on the Banshee, and have some time now to be able to post some photos, as well as a few specifics regarding any deviations from the plans that I&rsquo;ve incorporated.This is actually my second Banshee, but the first was built over 30 years ago, and nearly 30 years passed since I&rsquo;ve pick up the hobby again.My most vivid memory of the first Banshee is aileron flutter&hellip;&hellip;. one of those things that stick with you.</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">A short kit was obtained from Eureka Aircraft, but the desire to use barn door ailerons (see above) steered me to cutting ribs based on the original design as documented in the Flying Models plans.Ribs were drawn and cut using Profili software.</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">
The original airfoil, at approximatley 13%, is a bit thicker than the J&amp;J plans.
