Default balsa bandit & ramtec

The Bandit is designed for the BVM fan unit. You would have to do extensive mods to make the Ramtec work...Not worth it in my opinion. The inlets on the Bandit are small and are optimized for low drag and the Viojet fan unit. The Ramtec needs a larger intake area than the Bandit can provide. All of the interior structure is designed for the BVM fan. To do it right would require a lot of work. (And money!!!) If it were me I would sell the Ramtec and apply that money toward a BVM fan. If you were ever to try to sell the model the Ramtec, and the mods associated with it, would lower your planes value as compared to keeping it all BVM.
