He has the Sensenich ground adjustable carbon fiber propeller installed on the front of the Corvair and here is what Tom said about his maiden flight:
Fantastic! Congratulations
Nice Job Tom! Been following your build and good to see another Panther in the air. I will be moving faster than before now due to job promotion and time relief. ; ) Definitely will be looking for stats with your 3.3L up front as I’m moving in that direction as well with power plant. Blue Sky’s
