ORIGINAL: Panther G
Beautiful work. The Maier Panthers are becoming a quickly forgotten part of this hobby and it would be great if someone who know's alot more about them than me to do a little thread on their history.
Which variation of his Panther do you have? I don't meet many folks here in the US who own one.
Jochen Maier was a friend as well as a pioneer in RC armor modeling. I purchased my first from him in 1976-77 and have 4 total of his Panthers.
I have 16 of his transmissions ( including those in my 4 Panthers).
I had the pleasure of visiting visiting him in 1996. Sadly as I posted here Jochen passed away a year ago last May.
I can write what I know. Perhaps I 'll start on my web page and post a link here. There are substantial gaps in my knowledge of the entire genesis
of Jochen's Panther.
