A Little History...

You had better start saving your pennies as the new Pantera Jet is due to land this October. With all the interest in this model so far they won't be in stock for long!

We originally designed the Pantera 4 years ago with the intention of developing a purpose built turbine trainer that was capable of growing with your ability. In this time it has evolved with new ideas and construction methods being implimented to create the perfect model for the enthusiast, whether they are new to jets or seasoned jockeys! A true all purpose model. We love the look of vintage jets from the 50's and 60's, the Pantera gives you the feel of nostalgia with aspects of the Phantom, Cougar and Gnat depending on which angle you view it. You really feel like you own a scale model but at a fraction of the cost.

We are one of the only companies to utilise modern CAD design for our models, and the only factory to have not one but three CNC 3D rapid prototyping machines that ensure perfect symmetry and accuracy every time. Other factories still create their plugs and moulds by hand, allowing for innacuracies to creap in unnoticed. Our warbird and aerobatic aircraft have been dominant in their respective markets, now it's time to move onto jets!

When we started to think about our first jet turbine we didn't want to follow the pack with another twin boom "Star Wars" styled model design. Instead we gained inspiration from the real world of classic jets that flew without the need for computer intervention, and were more akin to WW2 fighters than space ships with their excellent low speed handling and flying characteristics perfect for model use. The current crop of twin boom jet designs that have a high tailplane do suffer from control blanketing if held at a high angle of attack, mainly noticeable during slow high alpha landings.

As with all our designs we initally start with a 3 view drawing to decide the concept and layout. This also gives us chance to discuss any ideas or changes we may have before the project really gets started. Once happy with the initial drawings it then moves onto the CAD stage, again we study and make any changes that didn't become apparent in 2 dimensions. Once everyone is pleased with the final result the aircraft is ready to be modelled on the factories 3D rapid prototyping machines.


In conjunction with Steve and Matt Bishop, well known UK jet show pilots and professional builders, the Pantera was designed from the outset to be used from your average grass flying site. Trailing link oleos soak up the bumps easily, and the large wheels ensure that you don't get bogged down in the dirt. High air intakes also ensure that debris kicked up from the front wheel doesn't get sucked into your precious jet engine.

With a slow landing speed and powerful elevators you can be sure to get her down in the same space as your average large sports model. We have test flown two prototypes with different engine choices, both performed flawlessly. From the first flights of both models it was obvious that the Pantera was going to be something special.



Retract Options

  1. Retract trike set with sprung oleos and aluminium wheels (no wheel brakes)
  2. As above but with tank, valve, filler, tubing and all fittings (no wheel brakes)
  3. As above with tank, valve, filler, tubing and all fittings but with wheel brakes included and all hardware for operation

All retract options include our heavy duty air up, air down pneumatic units. The pantera has its retract mounted into the fuselage wing roots, this means you can sit the model on its wheels with the wings off for storage and transport. It also has the added advantage of no heavy duty structure in the wing panels for retract mounting plates, helping to keep the model light.

All oleos are trailing link to soak up the roughest of flying strips and the wheels are purposefully large to to help with long grass or dusty sites.
