Re: Three view or drawing of tri gear Panther

I'm also interested in seeing the drawings, but I'd also like more information about the actual design.

Also, I am a bit concerned about how the nose gear attachment will work, as well as the (presumed) castering mechanism. This was a bit of a concern with the early RV-series, but I think the aftermarket has fixes now, and Van has certainly addressed it in the RV-10 and RV-14 with their improved systems.

I'm not tailwheel rated and will likely fly mostly off pavement, but from the descriptions, it seems like the Panther is about as benign as a tail-wheel airplane gets... So maybe I'll just suck it up and go get that tailwheel rating.

Guys.. I may have missed it on your web site. Do you have any drawing to show what the tri-gear Panther will look like?

Thanks
Carl
