Value, Versatility and Integrity

Meet Paul Salter and his Panther N908XP – All Dolled UP!

Paul Salter of Jacksonville, FL has gotten his Panther close to completed.  The paint is a custom job done by our local artist Mack Sturdivant of MackAir.com.  (If you are on FaceBook visit Mack’s site HERE)Paul’s airplane is powered by the Corvair 3.0L, just recently removed from Panther prototype N515XP.  Paul expects to do some test runs with the engine in the next few days.  It will be on display at AirVenture Booth N615, so come by and see it!  He will get his inspection done shortly after AirVenture.

Paul has been working closely with SPA for the past two years, using his build to contribute to the Panther builders documentation.  He has extensive patience and does a great job photo documenting his build.   The majority of the builders documentation was designed around his build, as his kit is a “Production Panther” kit.  Between his full time job as a Structures Engineer for the EA-6B Prowler and work travel this has been no small feat for Paul.  His hard work has certainly turned into an Experimental HomeBuilt he can be proud of.
