Hello,

I am beginning to prep for paint. I am curious how others painted their wings. I would like to make some type of rotisserie for the wings but I'm not sure how to work around the spar that sticks out on the inboard of the wing. Did others make a rotisserie or just use saw horses and pvc tube through the lightning holes in the ribs. Suggestions and photos would be appreciated.

Anyone interested in paint let is know! We have a great contact!

Did the elevators and rudder have to be removed to do the painting?

I saw it at Barnwell and it is indeed very nice. Who painted her and what was the cost. What kind of paint was used.

Started following the Panther after seeing part of the project at 2012 Sun N Fun. Just saw the new paint on your website for the first time today. The Panther is "Beautiful"! Congrats!!!!

It gained about an honest 20 lbs. But man, I think every ounce was worth it!!

I was curious how much weight the Panther gained after being painted? (Yes, I'm looking that far down the road :) )

The Panther will begin getting paint next week. I am really looking forward to seeing Ms Panther all dolled up!

Dan and Rachel,

Things have been a little slow, and I was wondering how the Panther paint job is coming along?
