    Aerobeez "BANSHEE" 91" Slick build

    Sort of does eh? I'd imagine a lot of these Slicks out there share similar designs. I've not personally seen any with as much carbon as this one though. No work on the airplane tonight, it's been a freaking long day, and a loooooooooooooong work week.

    Initial impressions with the kit: -HUGE leaps and bounds improvement from their previous kits, tons of high quality hardware included, very extensive -Vibrant color scheme, should have no issues seeing this in the air (not that I fly high enough anyways..) -Extremely well packed in the box...

    The fuselage also already has a canister tunnel built in: I will be going with mufflers, so I will not need to utilize it. On the bottom of the fuselage, you will find several plates with cutouts in them to allow hot air out: These are completely matched to the covering scheme as well...
