Today Team Panther trailer-ed Panther N515XP down for what hoped would be the first flight. We knew the morning would be good weather, but that a system was going to roll in by the afternoon.
Dan and Paul simply folded the wings, quick disconnected the fuel lines and rolled the Panther into our standard car/Panther hauler
Mother nature deterred the first flight, but we did get a good, solid few runs down the long runway at our local public airport, along with a little lift under the wings. After the test taxi we folded the wings back up and took the Panther back home. There is a two-day storm system running through, so it is looking like Friday will be the next available test flight day.

Thank you to all of the Team Panther members for making this happen – you guys are awesome!!
