Terry H. may chime in here as he has bullt and flown the PST Panther-but don't know if he has competed with it though.
I had one of the early "splash offs" of the Ziroli version but the fuselage had a serious warp in it. Ended up trashing it and selling the retracts/struts/wheels to someone building the balsa version from plans.

Thanks for the heads up. Im still relatively new to rc flight 3 1/2 years now. I competed in the NASA Fun scale and came in first in both the Beginner an Novice brackets. So I was told next year 2015 I will be able to complete in fun scale exspert, and sportsman sport scale. I was told NASA is a lot like Scale Master
Im wanting to build something to compete with. Im almost done with a Jerry Bates Dauntless but I love my turbines so much and weather anyone will admit it I think those who compet with turbines get a few cool points
I just finished fiberglassing my TFG P51 today so im ready to dive in on this panther
Thanks for the heads up
