JP ARTF Panic Biplane

JP ARTF Panic Biplane covered in Oracover

In the late seventies a group of competition flyers were flying a fantastic new biplane. They got together after fun-fly competitions to put on the most amazing displays of "Aerial Dancing", the likes of which had never been witnessed before. This startling new biplane was conceived and designed by the late Phil Newman, this was "The Panic".

It’s hard to believe that the original Avicraft Panic was designed over 40 years ago, yet it’s as relevant now as it was back in 1982 when creator, Phil Newman, took pen to upturned wallpaper and began draughting. Fast forward four decades and the Panic remains as entertaining as ever. Modified by JP to meet the exacting requirements of today’s performance-savvy pilots, this new balsa ARTF version of the club favourite is not only light in weight and beautifully built, it caters for both i.c. and electric power plants and anyone with a thirst for flying the book.
