Sticky, smelly and everywhere

February 11, 2013Rachel,

I started the process of sealing the fuel tanks on the end ribs yesterday. I am dealing with a learning curve here since I have never done this – but all in all it went fairly well. I started by clearing the bench and laying out all the tools I needed and the parts I…

Fuel Tank Update

February 10, 2013Rachel,

I have been working on prepping the fuel tanks this week. Getting the skins fitted to the ribs and updrilled went very well once I figured out how to keep the skin from shifting. Bob Woolley and I followed Tony’s lead and fabricated a cross member to keep the skin pushed down and lined up…

Canopy skirt gives the Panther even more dimension

February 10, 2013Rachel,,

Yesterday afternoon Dan started on the canopy skirt. First things first – cover everything the resin will touch with tape. So after about 4 rolls of wide masking tape along with poster board the Panther looks like a little funny. Then Dan started laying out the fiberglass and cut a bunch of 8 inch wide…

Meet Dick Fisher — Panther LS Tri-Gear Beta Builder

February 8, 2013Rachel,

One of the many fly-ins Dan attended with his Cleanex, and one of his favorite, was the Sonex fly-in held in Crossville, TN. The 2009 fly-in was where Dan and Dick first met. Dick’s love of flight started in a Piper Cub on skis in 1966 in Meadville, PA. His lessons began in 1970 in…

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!!
