Items used on a built Panther:
Radio:
Recommended is an 8-10 channel radio for convenience although technically the Panther only has 6 functions: Ailerons, Rudder, Elevator, Flaps, Throttle, and Retracts.
-Qty 7 94851 Metal Gear Servos (or similar)
-Qty 1 94722 Standard Servo (or similar)
-Qty 2 750mm Extensions (for tail servos)
-Qty 4 500mm Extensions (from wing joint to receiver)
-Qty 2 300mm Extensions (from Ail servos to wing joint)
-Qty 1 100mm Extension (from steering servo to receiver)
(If your radio is only 6-8 channel, you'll need QTY 3 Y-harnesses for the Aileron and Flaps and Steering/rudder servos).
Servo Lead retainers (Heat shrink, molded clips, whatever is your preference)
Receiver Battery: Recommended is either a 5 cell Ni-MH pack of 1600 or more mAh rating, or a Li-FE 6.6v receiver battery with 1600mAh or more rating.
Power System:
-120mm Fan
-12S Motor (Used the Neu Motor for the E-Turbax fan from Jet Hangar Hobbies although other motor/fan systems of this size and rating will work)
-Castle 160HV (The power system does not draw this much current but EDF systems tend to be very demanding of the ESC, thus used an ESC rated a little higher than necessary)
-12S 5000 to 6500mAh LiPO packs, minimum 40C rating (The airplane is setup for using two separate 6S packs sometimes called Saddle Packs)
-6mm Gold Connectors or similar (Castle 6.5mm connectors for example)
-Mounting Screws for the Fan Unit (different fans may have different requirements, Used was #4 x 3/4 Dubro Socket Head Wood Screws for mounting the E-Turbax Fan)
Other Items:
-The fuselage can be broken down into two parts, you could install air-line connectors at the fuselage break, it would require 3. Robart, Jet Hangar Hobbies, or other similar air-line connectors will work.
-Glues: Wood Glue, Epoxy, and C/A (instant glue)
-Threadlock, (blue or semi-permanent, do NOT use "red" or permanent thread lock)
-Tape: Gaffer's Tape or bi-directional Packing Tape will work. This is to seal off the air between duct joints and around the motor wires where they exit the exhaust air duct.
-Basic tools (file, wire cutter, pliers, hobby knife, various metric hex-drivers, small drill bits, drill, etc)
-Paint to detail the cockpit (Optional)
-Small amount of fiberglass cloth (3/4 to 1 oz weight)
