As we ramp up for the biggest and best air show of the year we are busy delivering Panther parts to our customers.
Just last week we delivered:
Wing Kit – CA and SC
Wing Kit and Rear Fuselage – NC and CA
Welded forward fuselage, control parts and Canopy – NC and 2 in FL
Tail kit – FL
Full Wing, Tail and Rear Fuselage – WA
Last week the shipping department looked like Santa’s elves on Christmas Eve!
NEW! Dan upgraded the parts for the rear fuselage and fuel tank kits to matched tool! This means it goes together even quicker and easier. This trend will continue with the Panther until the whole kit is matched tool.
We are also working with a hardware company to streamline the hardware kits.
The Most EXCITING NEWS of the Month! We have the second Panther rolling on the gear! Paul Salter, our resident SPA engineer, has his own personal Panther wings, tail and rear fuselage complete. In preparation for the Oshkosh display he now has his forward welded fuselage cage on the landing gear and rolling on the SPA standard Matco wheels and brakes.
Coming VERY Soon! Look for Beta Builders Bob Woolley and Tony Spicer to have theirs just as far by the end of Oshkosh, if not before! Panther babies are growing like weeds around here! It’s amazing how quickly they come together.
We are such proud parents!! (sniff, sniff…dab at the corner of our eyes..)
Stay tuned!!
