Hi all,

Had missed this topic until today.
I must say the "new" sprocket looks very good.
Well done Gill and Mark!

Not only is the 6 holes correct shaped the trangle shaped support behind the spokes are also there now.
And the tiny hole I mention about in my sprocket topic is there, very nice! :wink:

I like this!

Kind regards
Kent
It´s all in the details!

Looking forward to recieving my lower hull in the very near future.
It looks like Mark has made some worth while improvements to the Panther, Maybe when he gets some spare time he could document them.
Regards
Steve

P.S. Congratulations on the house move, Hope you are both settled in.
