The giant scale F9F Panther plan set is 1/6.3 scale and consists of three large sheets that clearly illustrate all structure as well as showing installation of flaps and retracts. The F9F Panther plan shows the installation of Robart retracts, fixed wire gear, servos and Dyna-max DF with OS .90 engine and features two piece wing. The basic structures use conventional “modeling” tools and materials such as balsa and plywood, and the techniques are straight forward easily accomplished by anyone with previous model building experience. There are many online building threads at www.rcuniverse.com forums and www.rcscalebuilder.com forums for Nick’s plans. Tech support is also available via email at www.ziroliplans.com or by phone 9:00 to 5:00 Mon - Fri EST 631-467-4765. The plan includes full-size templates for all the required parts allowing you to cut a complete “kit” before you start construction. If you would like to purchase a wood kit see KIT CUTTER'S on selection bar at the top of each page. If you choose gear or an engine not shown on the plans you should have them on hand when you start construction to make any changes needed for mounting. Nick Ziroli Plans recommends covering the airframe with 1 oz fiberglass cloth and ZAP Z-poxy finishing resin. Nick Ziroli Plans has building and scale accessories available for the F9F Panther.
