is the wing and stabs fully sheeted?

is there a landing video to show how slow it could land?


Mike

There is a video that "SupaTim" posted a few pages back showing it landing at a reasonable speed. You can also watch it "

Extreme Flight's Speed Freak Pantera!! (2 min 40 sec)

here"..

Yes, the wings and stab are fully sheeted.
Btw...these are completely different from the Vanquish wing which are not fully sheeted and have a thicker airfoil.
Also Pantera Wings have a wing mounting tab/3mm bolt instead of a thumbscrew.

All finished. Just need this dang rain to go away. I hope she's as fast in the air as she looks on the kitchen counter!

Looks great Nash!!!

looking good, but why is ur scheme different from one shown in website...when we purchase, what style/scheme decals come with it?


Mike

Because Nash is a master at covering and doing graphics for his planes and he added some stuff to it!!

His avatar is a Yak that he re-covered in chrome and green, and it is outstanding!! Check out this post, to see more/better photo of the Yak.

Thanks for the kind words guys. I'm not so sure about being a master, but I do like to tinker. Probably to a fault, I ought to just fly em as they come.

Eric from B&E Graphix is my go to resource for vinyl. Heck of a nice guy too!

Nash, you've got a beautiful clean kitchen.
Nice.

Ha! Thanks. But remember things on the internet aren't always what they seem. The downdraft fan you in the pic is broken and stuck in the up position, and I moved two arm loads of crap from the counter that was left behind from my teenagers LOL.

Teenagers... sigh...
I've got 2 of 'em and an 11 year old.

On a different note, I'm pleased with the CF landing gear that came with the Pantera.
The ones on the Vanquish are quite a bit bouncier/thinner.

Hello Guys , a very quick question, trhe options have the upgraded radio south hinges, are these just better quality hinges or a different type altogether.

Also, are the hinge slot precut or should I take out my hinge slot exacto tool to make slots?

Mike,

The stock CA hinges are good quality, but the Radio South hinges are even better (just not available in China to package with the kits). The hinge slots are pre-cut in all the control surfaces...

That's awesome, just placed my order ...I need something with landing gear for my new field which can slow down in 400ft for landing. all my pylon racers and hotliners and having tough time to slow down in this new field...though this is not real fast..but should really be fun to fly and land with no panic and million landing attempts/aborts and go around

All that being said, I've never had a stock hinge fail on 9+ EF/3DHS airframes.
