Looking good... Going to use a different power system?

Is this an additional panther or did it's predecessor pass on?

I see the pilot comes with his own body bag....

Good looking Jet, is this from the King?

Hey guys,

This one I got directly from RC Lander. Its an updated version with a few neat upgrades.

This is to replace the last one which literally flew away!

Flew away as in vanished? It was fast. Possibly it jumped to light speed. Any information of what happened?

I saw Panther V. 3.0 fly today.

Not quite as fast as V. 2.0, but looks much better and has the best sound I've ever heard from an EDF.

It flies solid, as if on rails.

Here she is finished...

Needs more tuning and at least a 6S 3300mah to get the CG right. The Panther likes to be flown very nose heavy, otherwise you start running into problems. To make matters worse, the new alloy fan unit is quite heavy at 310grams. Will also have to open up some cheater ducts as well, the fan is really choking right now.
