Don,

You're in luck for the Eyelash canopy. I sent Keith a canopy several months ago to make a mold from. He should have what you need, just contact him. The MachNone used a block of balsa for the canopy, no plastic canopy for that one. Sorry but I can't help with the Baby Banshee, but given its simple stab shape, you should be able to draw it out. Does the Baby Banshee use the Ace wing cores? Also, are you interested in a 1/2A Miss Norway?

FB,

I built a MN from the ACE kit a couple of decades ago. In fact it should still be somewhere at my dad's but it has gone through many moves. If I'm lucky I'll find it and rescue it. The kit did come with a full clear canopy both the rear portion which is built onto the fuse top and the front part which is attached to the removable hatch to access the tank (lipo?). The canopies sort of interlocked. I covered the whole lot in orange Ekonokote including the plastic rear portion of the canopy and the bare foam wings. I left the front portion of the canopy clear with a black interior if memory serves. It also had some simple white trim. A TD 049 was at front.

If I were to find it, I would probably check the covering and wing strength and rebuild the nose to put an electric into it. It never had landing gear and my recollection was that it was very light. Two of today's 9g servos would serve it well. It had no rudder but if converted to electric I'd consider putting it back.

David.
