G'day guys and gals,

I'm Alan Carter, based in Somerset, Tasmania.

I've been searching for a nice single place aircraft for a while, and was going to settle for the Onex as I like their wing folding mechanism. Then I discovered the Panther. It was love at first sight.

Current status: saving like crazy so I can place my order

If anyone could give me an idea of what the shipping cost to get their kit to Australia, it would be a big help for my budgeting. Thanks in advance

Cheers
Al.

Hi all, I'm Jim and I live in Ballarat, Victoria.
I've asked SPA Sales if any parts of the Panther would/could be transferable to the Cougar, its going to be a long year, or so.
Therefore to pacify my Build Deficit Disorder and wait for the Cougar I'll be watching and learning from the forum.
Enjoy your Build.
Jim

Hi guys, my name is Mark & I live in Sale in Victoria, Australia. Just got back from Kosh and had a great time talking to Rachael about the Panther. Tried it on for size and it fits just right! Great little plane which I have decided will be my next build project when I finish the current one (LJ45 sim). Previously built & still flying an RV8 and had a hand in several other RV's for mates. Excited about the prospects of a Panther project and will be checking in on the forum from time to time to see how others go with their projects. Glad to be aboard! Regards, Mark.

Hi Guys, my name is Brian Blacker. I live in Brisbane and am building a Panther with plan set #4. I have started on the Tail kit and am reasonably advanced on the construction. I am a first time builder and have found the process a little challenging at times but am enjoying the process. I have a Corvair engine which I am planning to use in the Panther. Happy to talk with any Aussie Panther builders. Contact me at - BrianBlacker761@msn.com.

Hi
Was looking at the Onex, however there were a few things it was missing for me. The Panther definitely filled the gaps. Was hoping to start building this year but an unplanned trip to Europe soon has pushed that back a bit. Would be good to have a little aussie contact with builders when I start

G'day Bish - good to see you're thinking the same way as me. Seems quite a few Sonex builders are now looking at Panther. Exciting times, with such a great looking offering.

Cheers mate.
