Regarding Banshee variations, from what I understand, the Eureka short kit is a exact replication of the original kit produced by J&J Industries in the early '70s. In comparing the J&J plans to the FM plans, two things jump out at me; 1) a difference in the airfoil, and 2) the length of the fuselage being longer from the leading edge bulkhead to the nose on the J&Jkit. I would speculate that the airfoil was changed on the J&J kit to allow for "standard" strip aileron stock to be used in the kit (the thicker airfoil on the FM plans does not transition into what I found available for aileron stock), and, the longer nose on the J&J kit makes it easier to install the fuel tank and retracts.

Actually, placing retracts and a fuel tank into the FM layout would probably cause me to develope a twitch.

You got to see Jersey Jim put on a demo! Just too cool. I understand that he's capable of being quite the showman.

I still have my ProLine single stick, but it will probably remain on the shelf a bit longer.
