Builders Update

These last few weeks have been milestones for Panther builders.  Take a look at what some of them have been up to in their Panther Caves:

Builder Bill Mosher, Greer, SC, has joined the rear and forward fuselage

Andy Shorter, New Bern, NC , is a retired Harrier pilot and a first time builder.  He is a true testimony to how through determination, patience and research that the Panther can be completed by a first time builder.  Look at how well he has documented his build through photos HERE.

And look at Eric Muehlberg, New Castle, OK, and his Panther on the gear!

Builder Brent Mayo, Fernandina, FL, is making progress as well, considering he just started his build about a month ago. He is documenting his build HERE.

 

Brent is prepping spars for riveting.

 

Brent said – Started early Sat morning (7am) getting everything setup to squeeze the rivets in the spars. It took me about 2 hours to squeeze all the rivets in one spar. All the rivets were preloaded in the spar and I applied blue painters tape to hold them in place. The squeezer Dan loans out works great:) Thanks to Dan and crew for providing squeezer. I finished riveting both spars up before lunch.

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!!
