Thanks, I did not know it was called with a different name in the USA.

Does anyone knows how to buy and have the RCM&E May issue shipped to USA?

After reading the all thread, I have compiled this list of errata building from the plan, hope this helps other also. - Head support brackets (Tongues) Birch Ply wood preferred over Lite Ply - Left/Pitch servo lower by ~5mm, mounting lugs too close to Lower Mast Support - Hatch Base H3: 20mm too long, side view is correct - Pivot head hole 15mm from the top instead of 20mm, side view is correct - Under Carriage aluminum drill hole 30mm from center, 35mm on the plan is incorrect - Engine right trust 2 degrees not mentioned on the plan - On the side view, the labelling of LMS1 and UMS2 are reversed

I found this post on page 10:

I read in the thread that the left/pitch servo needs to be lowered. Has someone a picture or can describe the problem? Does the servo needs to move to the right or just down, by how much? Thanks

The shaft is 1/4", is the smaller version more appropriate for the panther, do you have a part number or a picture of the smaller version? I am looking for aluminum for the undercarriage, 6082 seems hard to find here in the USA, is 6061 OK?

I bought this Astroflight gearbox on Ebay, it was sold a 710 Superbox, is it the right gearbox to build a panther?

Yes, you are correct Model Aviation Magazine is published by the AMA which is the American Model Association. This is awesome that the Revolver II gets featured in the magazine.

Covering is mostly done, still need to add the name next time I have access to my friend vinyl cutter. Next step will be to do the canopy then electronics install. What a beautiful design, I am really enjoying this build.

Yes, the short kit from Sarik came with the canopy

Wood work is pretty much done, soon will be time to start the covering

Thanks, so looks like theses blades should be fine to get started. I'll make another set of lighter ones using Richard's method. Latest progress on the revolver

I am using blades made by Astik Models, there are very nicely built and came pretty well matched, all within 0.6g. There are a little bit narrower, 55mm instead of 60mm so I cut them 10mm longer to compensate. The leading edge hardwood section is bigger than the one recommended on the plan so because of that they are heavier: 54g finished instead of 40g Is this going to be a problem?

Some progress.

Outrunner, thanks for your reply and interest. I will continue to post photos as my build progress.
