Well, I finally made time to finish the rebuild on the old Pantera. I must say that this heli really is a joy to work on. I discovered several new little design features during this re-build that I was not previously aware of. A lot of thought went into the design of the Pantera. Even the tail boom supports, the tips are not just glued in like most other manufacturers, they are actually secured with a screw and nut, that thing isn't going to come off.

I'll be flying her tomorrow. I'll post an update if all goes well.

Sometimes you need to crash and do a rebuild to notice all the little things that make this a killer ship.
Can't wait to hear about your next flight.
I'm rebuilding Panter I. She had over 70 hours of flight time till I got stupid. Pantera III flew like a champ today. So did Pantera II (BBC).

Well, I still have some vibration issues I'm going to have to look into. I had 3 other helis gassed up and ready to fly at the field today so I didn't work on the Pantera.

J.D., all the Raptors have screwed together boom supports too. Nothing special going on there. Don't misunderstand, I like my Pantera's too!
