Hi Harry,
I'm in Ann Arbor, Michigan, not too far from you. I have a wing up in the fixture and you're welcome to stop by and check out the parts and plans.

Thanks,
Stephen

Thank you Stephen,
I am looking into building a Light Sport and like to get more info on the Panther. I live in Brooklyn, Michigan in the summer and Labelle, Florida in the winter. I will be going to Sun and Fun before we leave Florida for Michigan. I will get in touch with you when in Michigan for the summer.
Thank You, Harry Krummrey

Hi Matt, Are you still working on your Panther? I will be visiting my daughter in Clemmons the first part of April 2022 and would like to see your project.

Thanks for the welcome, Dan! I've already been scouting your website. If I can maintain half the pace you're on I'll be pumped.

Good to see we already have a head start with a formation for Oshkosh here in the southeast!

Glad to have you Matt. This is Dan Heath from Lexington, SC. There are two other builders that I know of here in SC and one is getting close to being completed. I have about a year left to go on mine.

My website for documentation is PantherBuilder.org.

Yep that's right, Winston Salem--home of the cigarettes though ironically I don't even smoke.

I am going to be proud builder of SN 078--ordered my tail kit just this Monday. After deliberating for months and considering that "other" all-aluminum manufacturer, at OSH '16 my choice became very clear. The Panther fits me like a glove and has a a lot of features that set it apart from the competition. Rachel & Dan being such nice people to talk with sure helped also.

My general concept so far, subject to change, is to build a personal X country tourer. I'm planning on the 23.5 ft wing for the increase in area with a projected MTOW of 1250-1275 lbs. This should push my stall speed out of LSA based on my calcs, however I'll be operating as a private pilot anyway. This will lower my g limits as well although my mission intent is more getting somewhere in a hurry than loops. I'll be outfitting lights, a glass panel (Dynon?) and I'm at an impasse between Lycoming 233 or a UL3#0.

Anywho, looking forward to speaking with all the other Panther builders out there!
