The
Ban-SHE is a stylish high performance 62in
span crash resistant aerobatic EPP slope soarer designed for
the modeller wanting to combine EPP durability with rigid
structure performance. It is intended that Ban-SHE
is built with wing mounted aileron servos with the ailerons
being used as flapperons with elevator flap coupling. In this
mode Ban-SHE can perform must aerobatic manoeuvres
including outside loops, horizontal eights and sustained inverted
flight etc. Ban-SHE will fly in most wind conditions
depending on the quality of the slope. Strong winds may require
the model to be ballasted on the balance point.
Contruction
consists of a ply box fuselage covered in EPP and cross weave
tape whilst the wing follows the standard PMP practice of
using hardwood spars and balsa ailerons. Construction time
is a 1/4 to 1/3 of that of a similar wood / white foam model.
Field repairs if required are of the Elastoplast variety!
The
Ban-SHE takes a standard AA size square Rx
battery with standard size receiver (4/6 ch.) and servos for
Rudder and Elevator controls but the Ailerons does require
two micro servos (preferably metal geared). It is best flown
with a computeriesed transmitter using the ailerons as Flapperons
but any 4 channel non-computerised transmitter can be used.
