Panther First Flight – Keith Rhode from Prior Lake, MN – SN016

While we were setting up at OSH 2018 Mr. Keith Rhode and his Corvair 3.3L powered Panther LS took to the skies for the first flight.  Here is a note from Keith.

“First flight was 7/23/18. Flight was uneventful except for a technical issue with the engine that was sorted out with prompt help from Dan, even tho he was at Airventure.  Now have 7 hours on a/c.  Controls are light and pitch trim is easily used and very effective.  With feet on the floor, ball is centered.  Well designed aircraft. Everyone who has seen and heard the engine start is impressed with the 3300 Corvair.  Time to start thinking about paint.”

Congratulations Keith!  We are very happy for you.

My Panther build was really a lot of fun. I completed the entire project in my two car garage then moved it to the airport for the first flight. I always get comments over the radio about what a great looking plane it is. It's a real blast to fly.

I was able to build my Panther in my basement and carried the finished pieces up one at a time through my living room and kitchen into a tiny 1 car garage where it now sits with its wings folded. The folding wings will allow me to share a hangar and transport it to any field for flight testing. I can't imagine building anything else in my limited space.

Paul spent a lot of time with my friend and I on the Panther. Looks to be a great new product and I came away feeling confident they are building and supporting a very strong, safe, and well built plane.

After working with Rachael and Dan on getting my Corvair engine going for my Sonex, I have decided to build a Panther. Here's why: the support is outstanding! Phone calls are answered and texts are responded to almost immediately! After experiencing building three different aircraft from three different companies and presently converting the Sonex, I can say this from experience....these guys are first class!!
