Nick,

Using the Enerland 6S (30C) 4550mAh pack with a weight of 26oz., my PC Panther flew perfectly
using the suggested CG range. The flying weight of my Panther was 4.135lbs. and the CG worked
out to be exactly at 75mm back. Each Panther will be slightly different, but the range of 70-75mm
back from the leading edge of the wing is right on.

Here is the link to the video of our PC Panther's Maiden flight. The only problem that we had was a strong
wind gust on the final approach for the landing and we did not have enough speed for the Panther to make
the end of the runway.

Looked great ! Except for the short landing...Ouch. Any damage? Did you have to make any mods to get your 6s batteries to fit? Mine all seem to be a tad too large to fit without hacking up other stuff???

Nick,

The only damage was that the plywood nose gear attachment plate was knocked loose
and one main gear leg was slightly bent. Let me tell you though, the Lander PC covering
is tough as nails! It's like a Timex watch......"it takes a licking............and keeps on ticking!"

I thought that my battery packs were sorta large, but they fit fine. What packs are you using?

I just bought two 6S5000mAh Turnigy packs that are: 50mm x 52mm x 150mm. I think it was the quick-link on the nose wheel steering servo that gets in the way??

I can't seem to find your exact battery on the net for dimensions. Where did you get it??

Does anyone have these on the starmax 90mm f-18?
I'm thinking of putting these on my kit with the original struts.

I think that you will be pleased with the electric retracts, but be sure to strengthen the retract mount
on the wings and the nose to give you a more stable attachment of your gear. Let us know how
it goes.
