Oshkosh 2013 Setup Day

We sure had quite a busy day in the booth. The weather is crazy cold and rainy up here, but should be better the rest of the week. The daily news paper headline was “Frost-Kosh”, and with a high in the 50’s they are not joking! Here are a few quick snap shots. GRT Avionics […]

Brodhead 2013

We made it to Brodhead early afternoon yesterday. We were once again very impressed with the laid back, grass roots fly-in experience. We met up with a lot of old friends and made a few new ones. It was raining lightly when we arrived so the Panther just stayed in her cave for a while. […]

Update on the Panther – Paint Job and Chance to See it Fly

The wings are back from the paint shop and they look amazing! The colors turned out exactly as we hoped. The cowling, canopy skirt and the tail fairings are being worked over by their awesome body guy. Sunday consisted of getting the fuselage prepped for paint. Sanding down proud rivet heads, scuffing and scotch brite. […]
