http://www.sportaviationmagazine.com -- Panther Experimental Amateurbuilt light sport aircraft - Dan Johnson gives us a quick look at the Panther experimental light sport aircraft from Sport Performance Aviation during the U.S. Sport Aviation Expo, held at the Sebring Regional Airport Sebring Florida. Dan and Rachel Weseman are a husband and wife team that are producing several aerobatic experimental light sport aircraft, from their facilities near Jacksonville Florida. Their first entry into the market is the single seat Panther in a tail dragger version, but by the end of 2014 they hope to have a tri-cycle gear and a two seat Panther available to the kit builder. The kit features a factory welded 4130 steel cage fuselage, with an all metal wing coming with prebuilt spars and fuel tanks. The single seat Panther is powered by a Corvair automotive conversion, which puts out 120 HP, but Dan indicates that a number of engine mounts will be available including mounts for Lycoming, Continental, Jabiru, UL, and Rotax! The single seat Panther is available with two wing lengths, a 23.5 foot wing for the LSA market, and a 21.5 foot wingspan for those wanting a little more performance. It should be mentioned that the wings can be folded for ease storage in as little as 15 minutes by one person. When we spoke to Dan at Sebring he indicated that the firewall back kit starts at under $12,000.00.
