Default BVM Panther .. any G2?

It's been a while since the announcement on the BVM site about their purchase of the Details-4-Scale Panther .. I did find one reference to it on the site, but nothing more about availability date or the engineering improvements. Anyone heard and good intel on this? Sure would be a great winter project .. today's snowfall got me thinking...

I have one of the Details 4 Scale that Bob look at at Superman. Last time I spoke with BVM they said that the electric planes were taking most of the time. The Panther is in the works but not the top priority.

Here is mine.

Thanks Kevin, that's a really nice Panther!

I suppose the only "available now" option at the larger size (there seem to be several smaller ones...) is the Airworld kit, but from what I've seen on build threads you have to finish the engineering yourself, and it's not very highly prefabbed .. I guess people call that a "builder's kit" (is that like a "handyman special"?) but everyone says it flys really well. Was hoping the BVM one was coming "soon".. sigh.

Another nice Panther. I think Dan Gill is the Details-4-Scale guy, so that's the same Panther design that BVM has purchased (there was an announcement on the BVM website several months ago).

Ha
Uncle Joe I just got the Dan Gill Panther kit from Dave and your old landing gear. Do you have construction photos. I have a BVM King Cat nose gear retract unit lined up. I will see if I can make it work. NO CABLES . Thanks for the CD of Fresno Dan Avilla

Dan,

Did you get the instruction manual with pictures from David?

If not, I can still send you the files with all the photos. Let me know.

Dan
