Al, I’d love to check your airplane out! When I get my Grumman Tiger out of annual, maybe we could set something up. It would be an easy flight over the hill for me to come take a look. Not sure when my airplane with be ready.

Yeah, I need to focus more and working on that. Built an 8 up to the firewall and sold it. Bought another 8 Emp Kit built it and stalled for Career Change, not by choice. Somewhere was hooked on the Panther roaming through forums or something aviation then started following the Prototype. It flew and I ordered a Tail Kit. After building the 8 again and having it hanging it's not very personable with passengers and I'm 10yrs older so here comes the RV7. So, selling the 8 tail currently and crating it for shipping.
Goal is to proceed on the Panther with eyes open for abandon RV7 kits to cut the build time. Need to turn off Barnstormers Sheesh! So only a few irons in the fire. I only need 2 airplanes, One for the solo flights and Second, for the friend and wife flyer.

Yes Al - I'll be giving you a call this weekend to see when it's a good time to view your Panther. Very Cool! Though I was the Lone Wolf out in this neck of the Desert. ;)

I am building a Panther as well but only tail done so far. Finishing an RV7 rudder at the moment to get that done and out of the way for the time being to get back to Panther. Getting ready to order the aft fuse kit. Would it be possible to schedule a visit as well? I'm just up the road from you in Dayton.
Please feel free to give me a call and we can set something up.

Wow, that's serious motivation, building an RV-7 and a Panther at the same time.

Are there any Panther builders, (or completed aircraft), in the western USA that might be willing to show me their aircraft. I’m thinking of building one, but would like to see one before proceeding. Thanks!
