Re: AERO MATE Panther II
I just found this thread and up until seeing this mess with the gears, I was amazed at the engineering. However, engineers never seem to disappoint these days. They find a way to fail in a big way. Having a small lathe and Mill in the house I know your approach. I do the same thing, but unfortunately I am not equipped for gear cutting/hobbing. I am interested to see your fix. Shame you have to design replacement parts for a multi thousand dollar kit.

It is incredible that behind such a high quality product (as the Aero Panther II presents itself) there are such macroscopic defects. I can understand it from Asiatam ..... but from Aero

Re: AERO MATE Panther II
After a "short break" we continue now ... 
- Gearbox repaired
- Loudspeaker box mounted
- Doing some lead dress and fuses installed
Now only a few small parts have to be installed.
Stay tuned ...

Sweet!!! 
I love the neat, clean electronic installation. Usually leads to reliable operation.
