Panther aerobatic experimental light sport aircraft with Cougar on its way!

http://www.sportaviationmagazine.com -- While at the E.A.A. Sun N Fun Convention in Lakeland Florida Dan Johnson had to opportunity to talk to Dan Weseman designer and manufacturer of the Panther experimental light sport aircraft.

They talked about the current Corvair powerplant that Dan is using as well as several other aircraft engines he is currently designing mounts and cowlings for. These include the Ul Power engines, the Jabiru, Continental, and Lycoming.

Dan indicates that he is well on the way in the development of a two seat Panther and his current plans are to offer it as an experimental aircraft, an ELSA, and an LSA ready to fly craft.

The Panther aerobatic light sport aircraft offers un-paralleled versatility. The Panther is the Burger King of airplanes, "Have it Your Way". You choose the engine, landing gear configuration, wing length, safety features, open or enclosed cockpit and kit or plan/kit combo....you make it how you want it.
