If you must build something that is not a KR the Panther is a very nice plane. Dan Weseman lives in my airpark and I see the plane flying all the time and doing some impressive aerobatics. I have flown formation with him and I can go a lot faster with my 180 HP Mustang 2, but his speed is still very impressive. We have flown some mock dogfights and I almost made my wife throw up, but no matter what I did I could not get him off my tail. The plane also looks very easy to build and Dan is a great guy and I would have no problem recommending someone to do business with him.

This is a new single-seat LSA-compatible plane that hits 165 mph (with a Corvair engine) and the fuselage looks almost exactly like a KR-2 made of aluminum. Mike Taglieri ptions
