B-P04 B-S04 Then screw the oil filled shock absorber with a pan head bolt with flange M3 x 8 (B-S09) and the corresponding bushing to the rear belt tensioner lever. B-G23 B-S09 © 2012 – Banshee Helicopters GmbH Page 4...
Page 5 M4 x 4 is vertical to the (B-S12) flat spot on the shaft. Using a small amount of lubricant may facilitate sliding the shaft into the pulley. B-S12 © 2012 – Banshee Helicopters GmbH Page 5...
Page 6 For permanent hold tighten the grub screw carefully with a hex screwdriver. B-P03 Push the main rotor shaft downward into the bottom bearing plate. Place a thrust washer 12x18x0.2 between pulley and bearing. (B-P03) © 2012 – Banshee Helicopters GmbH Page 6...
Page 7 (B-P01) Before you do so, put some lubricant on both shaft ends of the main belt tensioner as shown in the picture. B-P03 B-P02 B-P01 © 2012 – Banshee Helicopters GmbH Page 7...

. Make sure that the SP-towing arms point in the right direction (B-S36) as shown in the pictures below and that the preferred direction for clipping on the ball joints is correct (lettering facing to the outside). B-S36 © 2012 – Banshee Helicopters GmbH Page 9...
Page 10 Subsequently, the blade holder will run smoother, too. This does not have an impact on the flight characteristics and may therefore be disregarded. © 2012 – Banshee Helicopters GmbH Page 10...
Page 11 Be sure to apply Loctite medium-strength onto the front part of the bolts and tighten them evenly. B-R01 The assembly of the rotor head is completed. © 2012 – Banshee Helicopters GmbH Page 11...
Page 12: Tail Rotor Assembly
Warning: Make sure that the bearings and the thrust washers are correctly posi- tioned. Otherwise the blade holders may clamp during operation resulting in a failure of the tail rotor. © 2012 – Banshee Helicopters GmbH Page 12...
Page 13 M2 balls to the tail pitch assembly. Push the tail pitch assembly on the shaft and screw it to the blade holders with two cylinder head bolts hex M2 x 8 . Make sure the Banshee Helicopter logo is fac- (B-S26) ing outward.
Page 14 We recommend to apply a small amount of Loctite medium-strength on the screws. B-S30 B-S36 B-S36 Pull the tail belt through the tail boom without crimping it. © 2012 – Banshee Helicopters GmbH Page 14...
Page 15 It will later be used to align the bellcrank while the tail servo is in a neutral position, so that the tail rotor blades are positioned at 0 degree. The assembly of the tail rotor is completed. © 2012 – Banshee Helicopters GmbH Page 15...
Page 16: Chassis Assembly
M3 (B-S19) Likewise, screw the ball stud for canopy fixation to the chassis with a hex nut (B-D21) on the left chassis plate. (B-S15) © 2012 – Banshee Helicopters GmbH Page 16...
Page 17 Continue with slipping the silicone tubing over the chassis connectors. We recom- mend to wetten the chassis connectors with some dishwater. Use a cutter to cut off the overlapping ends of the tubing. One of the connectors remains without silicone tubing. © 2012 – Banshee Helicopters GmbH Page 17...
Page 18 Proceed with the cross-bracing of the tail boom clamps. You need 4 cylinder head bolts hex M3 x 5 . For the time being, screw the bolts only lightly to avoid any (B-S34) tension. © 2012 – Banshee Helicopters GmbH Page 18...
Page 19 Pre-assemble the independent RC-unit. This platform serves to mount the elevator servo, tail servo, FBL, receiver and BEC, in case there is one to install. You need 4 cylinder head bolts hex M3 x 5 (B-S34) B-S34 © 2012 – Banshee Helicopters GmbH Page 19...
Page 20 RC-equipment later on. Slide the swashplate onto the main rotor shaft. Then place it with the ball stud with pin into the swashplate antirotation bracket. Screw it with two cylinder head bolts hex M3 x 8 to the elevator servo mounting. (B-S36) © 2012 – Banshee Helicopters GmbH Page 20...
Page 21: Final Assembly
Please measure the length with a sliding calliper and do not take into account any excess length of the injection moulding. Cut off any excess length with a sharp cutter. © 2012 – Banshee Helicopters GmbH Page 21...
Page 22 It is easier to pull the tail belt through when pressing in the tail belt shock absorber with one finger at the same time. In the end, the tail belt should be positioned in the gear unit like shown in the left picture. © 2012 – Banshee Helicopters GmbH Page 22...
Page 23 (anti-clockwise) and align the tail rotor shaft at 90° to the chassis. Now tighten fast both tail boom clamps . Do not (B-S33) overtighten the outer tail boom clamp. © 2012 – Banshee Helicopters GmbH Page 23...
Page 24 (with flange) M4 x 8 . Make sure the (B-S10) small pins located on the canopy bracket engage into the slot holes. Perform this step after you have mounted the motor on the carrier. © 2012 – Banshee Helicopters GmbH Page 24...
Page 25: Rc Installation
Please take care to insert the pin from the top side into the servo horn. Make sure to fit the brass bushings into the rubber grommets of the servos. © 2012 – Banshee Helicopters GmbH Page 25...
Page 26 Start with the tail servo. You need four cylinder head bolts hex M2,5 x 8 (B-S29) and four washers M2,3 to screw the tail servo to the RC-unit. Screw from below (B-P08) so that the wire shows towards the tail pipe. B-S26 © 2012 – Banshee Helicopters GmbH Page 26...
Page 27 Screw it in place with four cylin- (B-C20) der head bolts hex M2,5 x 12 and the washers M2,3 (B-S28) (B-P08) B-C19 B-S28 © 2012 – Banshee Helicopters GmbH Page 27...
Page 28 We recommend to fix the receiver on the tail servo with thin adhe- sive tape. You can protect the antennae in the upper area with a small heat shrink tubing. © 2012 – Banshee Helicopters GmbH Page 28...
Page 29 If the servos touch each other in the middle, (B-P08) please add additional servo shims . In a last step, clip both roll servo push rods (B-C20) onto the servo and the swashplate anti-rotation. © 2012 – Banshee Helicopters GmbH Page 29...

The maximum permissible speed of Banshee 700 is 2300 RPM. Higher velocity may exceed the necessary safety margin, since many factors (e.g. blade weight) have an impact on it. In addi- tion, we think that a rotation speed exceeding 2300 RPM does not make sense for this helicopter model.
