At this point, not even close. Major rework on bottom cowl, then fit both halves. Fit canopy. Wire. Finish painting. Went off the deep end at Oshkosh and bought an autopilot, so that needs to go in. Besides, I'm having so much fun building I may never finish.

Thanks, Bruce. Yep, the Panther will be the same 1955 Thunderbird blue the RV-3 was. But the Panther won't be quite so plain.

Hi Tony,
Looking really good! Hope you didn't let the cat out of the bag on the panel shot with the color scheme ? Either way I check your site daily for updates and study your work. Great tutorial.
Thanks again for your contributions to the site, forums, and the homebuilding community. Really all of you folks, Thank you!

2 Corvair motors tore down then see Bob W. preliminary numbers on the lyc.150. Hmmm... Then there's the 3.3L Corvair stroker. Ah, all the choices!

Hi Chris,
I am near the Dayton Airpark in the Golf Course community. I'm situated more towards the NE development of homes as Paul is down on the SW end of the runway in the custom lots. When I was building the RV8 there was no one out here and now that the 8 is gone everyone has an RV. Started another tail section to an 8 due to seller/builders remorse but slow going now that I'm tearing a Corvair motor down.
I have the manuals for a 3 and always have wanted a 3 but now I found the "Panther". Hmmm, saw it googling something aviation and read everything I could on it. Kitplanes broke out a full lay out of it and Paul even test flew it. Now I want to build one. Funny how that works huh!
Maybe when you get settled in your new place and get building again I'll have to jump over the hill and look at the project.
Take care,
Bruce Gray

Tony,
Good to hear, well not the cold. North western Nevada has been in the upper 60's and hit low 70's this last Sarurday. Go figure. Not much snow on the mountains which creates a whole lot of other problems for California and Nevada.
I guess I can get the shop/garage in order with the good weather to start something this spring besides the motor(maybe panther airframe ).
I think I can speeak for a lot of us but really look forward to your updates and the cool tricks you drum up in the hanger of yours.
Take care and talk to you soon.
