<p class="MsoNormal">Bit squirrely on landing, and not a breath of wind to be seen. Not a very stable looking platform.</p>

RE: yt pantera
 

Bit of a flop this Jet loads of hipe about it originally but too far too long to get out and when it did it was much too heavy and more expensive than they first claimed it would be.
They obviously still hav'nt got production sorted because if you wanted one the website is showing end of 2012 which probably means about march 2013.

RE: yt pantera
 

Pantera is normaly not squirrely. What you see in vid is crosswind (german word: luftwirbel) short befor landing field

RE: yt pantera
 

My pantera has 11,5kg plus fuel. This is absolut ok.
I had some other "Jet-Trainers" like hotspot, wild hornet, mirage,...
No one flow so easy and stabile like the pantera!!!

RE: yt pantera
 

If you have a look at the tree near the pilots head there does not seem to be any wind.

RE: yt pantera
 

i am no novice when it comes to jets.i dont break models often but every time i flew my pantera had to fix something eg formers fell out,retracts fell apart.soft as S...T u/c mounts broke etc.great plane loved it but could not put up with fixing something every outing.gave it to a mate who is ripping al the crap wood? out and replacing it with proper wood.should be 100 percent better.(as it should have been)

RE: yt pantera
 

Mine is flying well but it also does that wing wobble thing on landing

Bart,

How much have you flown a pantera? Beside the pilot and the trees you see is a wall - there is no wind. Befor this wall often is crosswind like this day. There another landing from my pantera on other place.

In web there are so much video's from pantera landings. I see no wing wobble. I understand not this discussion.

I also find not good the wood in fusellage and retracts. I changed parts into behotec. Now is good.

Where do you have your CofG?

RE: yt pantera
 

My cg is 6cm befor end of canopy.

RE: yt pantera
 

I began with cg 8cm. This was also ok. With 6cm he takes nose better high at landing.
Without crosswind he comes in like a scoolbus - very slow and stabil.
