Panther Completion – Tom Kodey from Port Orange, FL

Tom Kodey from Port Orange, FL received his certificate today for his Panther LS.  Tom has Panther SN 104 and started his Panther building project in late 2018.  He built his Panther airframe and Corvair 3.3L powerplant – and is now ready to take to the skies.  The Corvair engine Tom built is the stroker 3.3L version of the Corvair.  Tom chose the SPA Engine in a Box program and attended a finishing school at the SPA facility where he assembled and then test ran his engine over a weekend with our step by step assembly manual and personal guidance of Dan Weseman and William Wynne with FlyCorvair.com.  Tom’s Panther and Corvair are being pulled by a Sensenich Ground Adjustable 2 Blade carbon fiber propeller.  Tom’s information has been added to the Panther Completions page – check it out HERE.

My Panther build was really a lot of fun. I completed the entire project in my two car garage then moved it to the airport for the first flight. I always get comments over the radio about what a great looking plane it is. It's a real blast to fly.

I was able to build my Panther in my basement and carried the finished pieces up one at a time through my living room and kitchen into a tiny 1 car garage where it now sits with its wings folded. The folding wings will allow me to share a hangar and transport it to any field for flight testing. I can't imagine building anything else in my limited space.

Paul spent a lot of time with my friend and I on the Panther. Looks to be a great new product and I came away feeling confident they are building and supporting a very strong, safe, and well built plane.

After working with Rachael and Dan on getting my Corvair engine going for my Sonex, I have decided to build a Panther. Here's why: the support is outstanding! Phone calls are answered and texts are responded to almost immediately! After experiencing building three different aircraft from three different companies and presently converting the Sonex, I can say this from experience....these guys are first class!!
