Banshee Build

[Chevysrule]

Are there plans to make it flyable, in the distant future? I think it's possible to make it into an unmanned aerial vehicle. I even drew up one of my ideas, although it is for a regular piloted banshee.

problem, the banshee is NOT aerodynamic. And, those wings don't provide lift. it wouldn't look too much like a banshee after you got done with it...

i think you should put alot of wooden support so the weigh of the body wont brake the wings.

I was thinking you could pour cement in the wings, but that is not good idea

True on this fact I doubt there is anything that could be done to make it fly because of the way it's built. Unless you use a really big slingshot.

Another option would be a metal frame, .120 " thick (or hair thinner) 1" x 1" frame work, it was only about 22 bucks for a 20 foot long stalk when i bought it last. .120 would be strong enough to climb on and take a little banging with out bending, .080 would work as a frame, be lighter, but unless it had more bracing it could possibly bend a little the weight of a full person on it if it was a long singular piece.

That would work for me except for I cannot weld and don't like working with metal that much but thanks for the idea.

you have a good point though, it would work if we had some sort of anti-gravity generators or something because their is no way you can turn, gain lift, let alone take off and land. but it is still possible, maybe in the distant future or when the Gov. desides to tell us they have tech like this.

the slingshot might actually get it off the ground lol. i would rather pilot an a-10 then a banshee, besides how fast would it be able to go anyways???

I have thought about making it drivable somehow with 2 wheels on the back and one on the front somehow.

Sorry for the stupid question here, but... Drivable by you or by remote control?

 

[Nintendude]

Drivable by a person not sure how it would work or where a motor could go, I have enough knowledge about electronics to run that part of it it's just the suspension and framing that would be fun figuring out.

Maybe you could carve out the foam to shape, apply some sort of shell(rondo might be hard enough), and then remove the foam and put real supports in place. Maybe put some layers of fiberglass in and then cut some PVC pipes or wood to support it where you feel it needs it.

How do you get Resin and Bondo for free?! :eek
