- 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. The result was a superficially simple yet ingeniously cunning biplane sportster that could not only fly the book and take the knocks but offered immense versatility from its eclectic choice of engines. Fast forward four decades and the Panic remains as entertaining as ever. Modified to meet the exacting requirements of today’s performance-savvy pilots, this new 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 3D flight.
I learnt to fly with a panic back in the nineties , its all about avicraft near Bromley that's where Rob is . Look up about their panic display team . Everyone should own a panic !!
Props to JP, but anything you need to know about the panic you would best talk to rob at ‘Avicraft’ model shop, he’s flown these for 40 years in comp, demos, model shows, as well as producing them for 30+ years…..there isn’t a thing he doesn’t know about these aircraft.
Nice re-boot of the Panic - It would be good if a more detailed video with some basic technical info like AUW with Battery , motor and best prop recommendation is shared. would also be good to know how much battery space is there. Also a more aerobatic video to show the full capabilities of the model. A few questions needs to answered like why the rudder servo has been moved back in the fuselage and can the top wing has an option for spoileron like the original avicraft one !
Recommended motor, battery and ESC are detailed in the spec list at the end of the video. The rudder servo has been moved forward to help achieve the correct C of G with the electric powertrain although there is a hidden servo tray in the tail for use when heavier i.c. engines are fitted. So, best of both worlds. Both the top and bottom wing are equipped with servo mounts which means spoileron control is an option.
@@WeAreJPerkins Stating the KV of a motor is not a specification. More details are needed for a complete video. There is not even a proper spec on your website.
@@charlottebrain9352 Good afternoon Charlotte, the full motor specification is 5055-670KV. We've now updated our website to clarify this and thank you for making the point. Ultimately if you purchase the motor that 'is' recommended on our website you'll have a perfect match for the model.
@@WeAreJPerkins Hi - Why is the electric brushless motor shown in your video for the new `Panic` model, is NOT the same as listed at the end of the video ? - The one in the video is quoted as a 470 KV (put subtitles on ) and is all black in colour, looking like an Overlander brand `Thumper` motor. - The one listed at the end of the video is listed as a 670 KV which I believe is sold by JP for this model but this is a 670 motor and the spec for which is for a 5-6 `S` lipo moto and weighs a lot ! and the New panic model spec & manual says to use a 4s lipo ?
Please clarify which motor recommended to use with this new Panic aircraft
@@bluelagoonfortyfour The motor used on the model in the video is a 760KV outrunner running on a 4S LiPo. The combination provides power enough to hang on the prop and punch out (see video). Certainly if you require more power then a 5S set-up will provide that. The battery bay on the panic will take a pack measuring 125 x 46 x 38mm.
Why does mine not fly like that?😂😂
Hi - The electric brushless motor shown in this videos for the new `Panic` model, is NOT the same as listed at the end of the video ? - The one in the video is quoted as a 470 KV (put subtitles on ) and is all black in colour, ( looking like an Overlander brand `Thumper` motor maybe ?). - The motor listed at the end of the video is 670 KV which I believe is sold by JP for this model but this 670 motor has a spec for a 5-6 `S` lipo moto (and weighs a lot more than the one in the video, if the video one is a `Thumper` brand !) and the New panic model spec & its online instruction manual says to use a 4S lipo - i.e. not a 5S or 6S size.
So please clarify which motor is recommended to use with this new Panic aircraft AND if the `670 KV JP` one, will give enough power for `3D` flying on 4S - OR - if 5S or 5S lipos will fit in the model?

I'm flying mine on 6S. I use a SK3 5045 kv=500, 80A ESC, 15x8 apc-e prop and a 6S 4000 mAh. The same setup like a typical EF 60" and it really kicks @ss.

I made the hatch for the battery a little bigger (starting from the firewall) to make it easier to install the battery.
With a pull pull on rudder I need no additional noseweight at all.
