Brief Description:  Second Jabiru Engined Panther Flies

Very interested to see Ben's plane finished and recently flown, this has the modified cowl and FWF kit from his father Pete (Jabiru North America) fitted.

I took delivery of the initial cowl and engine mount after Tony Spicer and unfortunately due to WB error it requires about 15kg of lead to balance with the engine mount too short for the very light Australian engine, The two planes look different though,Ben's and Tony's planes are shown in pictures below....700lbs finished on Ben's, thats about +130lbs lighter than the Lyc version.

Ben says it climbs like a rocket....looking forward to seeing some performance figures.
