My banshee arrived well packaged. All parts had no issues. Assembly was very easy and the color scheme is really unique. Battery tray has room for many different sizes of batteries. All my purchases from motion rc are always top notch!

Great model. Love the finish and flight characteristics. I removed the landing gear and hand launch. Makes for an excellent park flyer with a rearward CG balance point.

I maidened mine today. Needed some aileron (need to figure out why it needed so much. Needed a little elevator. I balanced it a little behind the CG marks with the 4s 2500 Pros. It still feels nose heavy, I moved it back a little and plan to move it back a little more as it still feels a bit nose heavy and noticed I need more than I'd like of down elevator when inverted.Slows down pretty good and used flaps to land. I also added the optional landing gear with the shock absorber struts. Would buy again and really enjoy it. Not super fast but I really enjoy flying it.The decals on it are kinda meh, it has quite a few bubbles in it but I wanted a basher kind of flyer. I'd like to just throw it in the truck and fly it.

This is a very nice flying EDF, either with or without a gyro. Good performance on standard 4s 2700 mAh Lipo. Unlimited vertical climb with 4S LIHV (High Voltage) battery. Flight time is 4+ minutes. Balance at 75mm behind L.E. (10 mm behind CG marks on bottom of the wing. Buy the upgraded landing gear. It really should be included as standard.

I flew this today for the first time these are my thoughts. Its a great looking plane, I am a sucker for green planes! Love this shade of green! Really nice looking and has great features, Glad for the flaps. I have to confess I never flew this on 4s. I bought one of these 2500kv inrunner setups and installed it in this plane. This is, by far the most powerful 64mm setup that I have flown. I have hotrodded lots of 64mm units and this one is by far the best! I cant believe that freewing isnt selling these in this plane. I am not kidding this will give a 70mm edf on 6s a run for its money if not best it. So happy to find a 64mm setup that performs Like I think it should. Plane flew well with no bad habits. Its like a smaller avanti. I used a lemon rx 7 channel gyro receiver in it. Have to turn the gains down really low or it will oscillate. I ran the wires to the front of the plane and put the receiver up there in the nose. I don't know why freewing recommends ridiculous aileron high rates. If you use them it will spin like a top. I always program my high rates using their recommended low rates and this works out really well. You can adjust from there. I did not add any elevator down with my flaps and it seems just fine. I forgot to add that I flew this on a 6S 3300mah 60c battery pushed all the way back to the back of the battery bay as far as it will go. I also installed a 60 amp 6S capable esc. Super happy, can't wait to fly it again!
