Scale Model RC Helicopters > Hirobo Panther

Hello

Well, after so many years that im forgott to count them I have ordered myself a Panther scalekit from Hirobo, I have after many years a good eye to Hirobo but when it comes to information about the kits I must say there is much more to wish compared to ex Vario.

If someone of you guys have some clue where to find a buildthread for the Panther or pics how it look when box is opened I would be happy if you could point me there, have just found one video on the Panther on YT so if theres more somewhere it would be nice to see them, also pics on finished scalers would be appreciated!

Thanks

Jack

Congratulations!!! I myself have taken a similar plunge. I have on order a Hirobo EC-135, word has it there was at least a 1 month lead time. I was told to expect mine, by the end of May. I can;t wait to see what other people say about the Panther.

This is Big version that stopped by for a show. It was an old Irish Navy Helicopter. Very nice machine except, its hard to fit in most garages.

Wilerbee, for now its gone be running Ic, reason for that is that im
in the end of mine Agusta 109 MKII widebody (the old one from Graupner with bodyretracts) project, have converted it to electric
with graupner Skalar mech running on 8s and a Axi 4133/16, for now its primed and waiting for final paint!

This is the paintgoal

bcopters..thanks for the pics, agree that you need a big garage

Cheers Jack

Hello

Today I got mine Panther delivered,the box comes well sealed and is huge, (about 185 cm), havent got time to check all the parts out but what I can see the quality of the fuse is superb, the doors are cut out and the woodwork are preinstalled in the fuse and saves a lot of time making it out by the builder, all openings for the retracts are precut and the wholes for the mechs are predrilled, also the cooling
intake for the engine is done, gone startout the building next week
when I have checked the kit and read the manual about 100 times
