Well it is a lot easier that way and you can say that the repair was COMBAT damage since it is a War Bird....

Hi Jofunk,

Is the landing gear plate two individual rails or a one piece? I found out that they are stronger if the gear plate is one piece and cut to accept the landing gear. Less chance for...

Hi JoFunk,

That is the way you get other people into building. This is going to be a lost art, what you and I do, if others don't start doing it. I thought I would let you know, I took...

Most guys use at least a 40oz tank for the taxi tank, not and 18oz one. Do your main landing collapse part of the way when the plane is sitting?
If so, then you have to add a...

RE: 1/4 scale F9F Panther build

Hi Jofunk,

Sorry I didn't see the flaps down. Reducing the nose weight will let the plane slow down. I'm sure you will get it right. It just takes time on a new plane. We all know that every...

RE: 1/4 scale F9F Panther build

Hi Jofunk,

Great to hear you got your 1/4 scale Panther flying. I saw the video and you need to learn to land with the flaps. The Panther won't pitch up when you lower the flaps. What I do is...

RE: 1/4 scale F9F Panther build

I'm going through the same thing you are. I made a foam plug for a canopy that no one has and had a canopy pulled from this plug. It didn't work. The heat used during the...

RE: 1/4 scale F9F Panther build

;)Hi Bob,

Did you split the measurment between the front and the rear of the wing? That is what I would do if I was to ever built the Ziroli Panther again. Since it was already built, but not...

RE: 1/4 scale F9F Panther build

Now that I had a chance to think it over, Jofunk is right. If you make a mold from the canopy and then lay up a fiberglass canopy inside this mold, it will be to small for the...

RE: 1/4 scale F9F Panther build

I don't think you understand what I ment. You sprayed PVA on your canopy and made the fiberglass external frame. Now you have to spend a lot of time sanding down the outside of this frame. If you...

RE: 1/4 scale F9F Panther build

:eek:Hi JoFunk,

The Ziroli plans already call for 1ΒΊ of washout in the build. Since you have 5/8" positive AOA, then you should have 3/8" washout, or about 6ΒΊ. That is a lot of washout. I...

RE: 1/4 scale F9F Panther build

Before I added the extra weight it would maintain a high angle of attack at any given speed. Now you might say that I was tail heavy. But like I said in the above post, I always balance my models...

RE: 1/4 scale F9F Panther build

Hi Bob,

I noticed that when I try to fly inverted, the plane wants to dive toward the ground. It would fly better if you took out the 1ΒΊ Positive Incidentence in the wing, at least in the...

RE: 1/4 scale F9F Panther build

Hi Joe,

You are correct about the balance. The one thing you have to understand is this, with a positive AOA in the wing, any forward motion on that wing will make it climb. Unless you take...

RE: 1/4 scale F9F Panther build
