Panther First Flight – Lou Rosner

Lou Rosner has taken his Panther up for her first few flights – and is very impressed with the aircraft!  Lou is at Spruce Creek Airport in Port Orange, FL and is a first time builder.  He completed his Panther build in approx 900 hours.  His Panther is the Sport model and is powered by a Lycoming Thunderbolt YIO-320 and a Sensenich ground adjustable 3-blade propeller.  Lou has a full Dynon installation in his panel.  He reports climbing, with the current prop settings, over 2k ft per min and at 5k ft altitude his top speed at 2700 RPM is 183 kts (over 210 MPH!).  He says the aircraft doesn’t have any bad habits and is a delight to fly.

Congratulations Lou!  Your hard work is paying off with your personal hot rod in the sky!

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!!
