Tim Kearsley Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Hi all, On a whim, I picked up a little EDF jet at the Weston Park show on Sunday. It's the Graupner GF 9 Panther, a lovely looking little plane. Having now looked around on t'Internet to see what the reviews are like, I find there aren't any!! Anyone else got this model and got any opinions, good or bad? In the meantime, as soon as I get the time to put it together and get it into the air I'll let you know. The show, by the way, was superb. The sight of Ali Machinchy throwing a half-scale Piper Cub around was awe-inspiring! Cheers, Tim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ashby - Moderator Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Tim, Dave Wilshere from Motors & Rotors was flying one at the Bickley electric fly-in - went well but then Dave is one of the very best pilots you'll find! It's only just arrived in the UK and looks a tad smaller than the Lander Panther. I'm sure you'll get on well with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Kearsley Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 Yes, it was Dave who sold me the model on Sunday David! And yes, I reckon Dave would make flying a Wellington boot look effortless! I don't know the Lander model but this one, from memory, is 770 mm wingspan. I started on it last night, and as all my building over the last few months has been a Top Flite P47 I had to adjust to the somewhat smaller scale of things!! Cheers, Tim.
