The Rotec
Rally Panther was introduced in both a
single and a two place in 1984. The Panther
series of aircraft are taildragger's, with a
high wing, enclosed cockpit, strut braced in
a pusher configuration.
Seating is tandem on the two place. Controls
used a center mounted stick(s) using a yoke
and rudder pedal(s), with a left hand
throttle. Construction is bolt together
aluminum tubes covered in dacron sail cloth,
with a fiberglass nose pod. |
The Panther
series uses a shock absorber suspension
system on the two main wheels and bungee
cord suspension on the tail wheel.
The Rotax liquid cooled engine is mounted
above the wing.
Initially
the Panther's were introduced with spoilers,
but soon were being built with ailerons. The
cockpit came with doors that could be
removed for summer operation. |
