Andy, I respectfully think your wrong on the re-design.  The planes in question were designed by some of the best flyers/designers the hobby has seen.  No reason at all to re-design.  If you read the eyelash (and migi-ball , /40 size Eyeball)articles, you would see the design progression that took place scaling down the Eyeball. All changes were done for flying reasons. It's called the evolution of a design. Wouldn't surprise me if there was an later .60 sized Eyeball with the Eyelash changes worked in! They were always looking for ways to make the planes fly even better.  If simply scaling the big brothers would have kept them happy, I'm sure they would have done it. I'm sure a lot of the old timers around here will back me up on that. The old designs are just THAT GOOD!

As already mentioned a few times before, (it's getting redundent) they will come in lighter than the originals with no problem, due to the lighter new radio gear.

The Norvel engines would be a good choice, (I was trying to remember the name) if you have them around. The throttle works well on them, I've flown a lot of others peoples planes with them for power.  If you got em, slap em on and go fly. That's the cool part of these 'old' designs.

I just weighed the eyelash, at present construction time, with all of the parts not on yet, engine, mount, prop, and spinner, and a couple servos, minus fuel tank, 2 more servos, and receiver.  So far it is at just over 12 oz...  Don't see a problem getting under 20 with the 'HEAVY' OS10.  Just got a big wood order in, so I will be too busy cutting kits and wings todo  anything else on it for a couple of days..  Stay tuned...

Oh yeah, if anybody has the old plans for the Baby Banshee, or an old kit, what is the span of the stab.  The very faded palns I got from Mr. Martin must have been kit plans, as the stab ends are cut off, and there is only a reduced size view of the entire stab. And a canopy I could get copied by Keith at Park Flyer Plastics would be very cool for any of the planes in queston.
