Andy C Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I picked up a panic cheap from one of my clubs last year and have a chance this weekend to hopefully get it in the air. I don't know anything of its history, or which version it is other than it has foam wings and so I guess an earlier model. Engine is an Irvine 46. Does anyone have an electronic version of the plans for these, and / or details of where the Centre of Gravity should be please Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy C Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 What no one? I can believe these are not popular enough to still have some proud owners! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Prop Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Hi Andy That looks like a nice plane you have there. It should fly well with the 46 up front although others have severely over engined these planes in the past. A 90 would you believe? You are right about the foam wing. That was produced some years back although I believe that spares are still available. I am away from my desk at the moment but I should be able to find out the CG for you tomorrow. I don't think there are any offical plans out there as the Panic was only produced with written instructions using small diagrams to illustrate points in the build. In truth they were so easy to put together that plans were not really necessary! Percy. They still make the venerable old beast, but in a more user friendly format these days. The wings for instance are now balsa framed and use notched spars and a pierced traiing edge so that the whole wing can clipped together and then glued with SuperPhatic or the instant penetrating glue of your choice. It is possible to build a wing panel in about 15 minutes using cyano. Pete Edited By Broken Prop on 12/07/2018 18:57:28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis Watkins Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Look down on the wings Andy, from above, in plan view, and imagine it is one wide chord wing. Measure the whole chord based on two wings view And work out your 25% - 30% C of G. This does work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Prop Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 The CG for the kit version is the same. 100mm behind the leading edge of the top wing. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
