Hi Bruce,

Thanks!

But if I were really as smart as you think, I most likely wouldn't have built two sets of wings, two sets of tail feathers, three sets of flaps/ailerons and five boot cowls just to end up with one Panther.

Tony,

Yes, "Thank you". Maybe not said enough as many viewed your photo's daily on your progress. A few of us folks need the pioneers up front hammering it out for us to learn from.

From the photo's and updates it's a 2+2 equation as to the ease of building with the factory parts on the panther. Seeing your abilities to adapt ahead of the kit release is a test to your skills in the shop. Your an "X" RV3 builder. Harder of the bunch to build by todays standards of kit ease! I finished a slow build 8. Sold it, now want a "Panther".

I think I have my motor but won't know for sure until I opener it up to see how the internals are? "Corvair" of course.

Hang in there and wish you were a little bit closer to me to keep those building juices alive. Your in SC and myself NV bit far for a Sunday drive.

Take care,

Bruce Gray

It's back up. Taken down in a fit of frustration. Case closed.

Thanks Tony.

Thanks Tony!

I check your site at least once a day. One of the best build sites, ever put together. I panic when I can't get to it.

Thanks Tony!!!

Thank you. It was not only the site, but I am sure that others were as concerned as I was, that something had happened to you. I feel much better now.

I have it all saved in a word format, at least everything up to about two weeks ago. The files are so large that it will be impossible to email. I can burn a CD and send it to someone more tech savvy than me to get it put up for access. Hopefully Tony will get his info put back up because it's fantastic information and I really appreciate his time and effort to post it!

I just went to Tony's gallery and there are 5 topics there. However, I see nothing about the Panther. It seems that he has removed all references to building the Panther. That is a real loss if indeed all that valuable information has been deleted.

This was my bedtime read, relax, meditation. Hope it is brought back? Or, that the Panther Team is collecting all the great early builder data and photo's and populating a beautiful construction manual to accompany the plans?

Hope so, we'll see...

Maybe have a motor(Corvair)
