Green Light from Wife

Post by Dave_091 »

I just got the green light from my wife to build my first aircraft!

I am super excited to venture into this. I have been researching literally for years and I haven't ever found the right time to start building. I guess if I never start, it will never happen.

So I will be starting to build an aircraft within the next 6 months. I have narrowed it down to two. The Panther or the Onex. I kicked the RV3 out of the running because I think it would be too much time invested before I can start flying.

I have it down to two aircraft, which one? That's the reason for this post.

The only thing keeping me from building the panther are 2 unknowns: complexity of the build ( time from kit delivery to first flight ) and the entire cost of the finished and flying aircraft.

How would you builders compare the two? the Onex and the Panther in terms of building?

I'll have to admit, I am on the fence... Onex or Panther... Panther or Onex. It comes down to the variables of completed aircraft cost and time spent building.

I'll accept all criticism :)
