    Great vid. I noticed the leather flying helmet made for headsets - who makes that one of yours? Thx.

    Absolutely beautiful aircraft! Most folks have no idea of the work involved in producing such a machine.

    I must be missing something. This airplane sounds like a snowmobile not a mustang. It’s the sound that’s makes the airplane and it’s that sound that strikes fear in the hearts of those hearing it heading their way. Sorry, P51 = Claudia Schiffer, T51 = blow-up doll.

    Czy można gdzieś kupić plany by zbudować replikę modelu RC?

  • @carlospuerto4873
    @carlospuerto4873 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I keep saying that those wings are too short. They don’t reflect the correct scale on the full scale plane. Make them larger and it would look perfect!

    • @kaxis26
      @kaxis26 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Stewart S51 looks the part. A Papa51 Thunder Mustang is even nicer!

    • @la_old_salt2241
      @la_old_salt2241 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's a replica, but not a scale replica. There are trade-offs that have to be made for the airplane to be safe. Simply scaling the airplane causes lots of problems.

      The N number is displayed per FAR 45.22 (b) (1) (ii)... both sides of fuselage under hor stab at tail.

    Beautiful airplane. As a home builder my self I can appreciate the work involved in such a build. I just want to make a comment about something I saw that may need your attention. This is made with all respect. I noticed the left gear door doesn’t open as much as the right door and it appeared to me in the video the left tire may be rubbing on the door during retraction and extension. It may not matter much but could be a source of a future problem. Happy flying and a good job. Congratulations

    • @JustaPilot1
      @JustaPilot1 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Will cause no damage or issue with the gear. I watch twice and the tire did not touch the inner gear door.

    Nice plane. But man.....get rid of the music noise! Let's hear the plane and everything else you're doing! That's music enough.

    • @captjim4756
      @captjim4756 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      restoreclassics My video editor chose the music. He also provided all of the edits and coordinated all of the video. He spent untold hours on the edit. 3 different film days, 2 different cams in 4 different locations on 6 different flights. That is a lot of work. I am very thankful to my producer. Far as I know, the music was free😊😊😊. Thank you for your encouragement.

  • @arthurarmour6134
    @arthurarmour6134 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Those are nice machines, especially with the V-6's, might I suggest a cross brace on your towing bars to avoid stressing your downlocks...?

    • @captjim4756

    The V-6 almost sounds like a V-12!! Pretty cool!! Also is this a fixed pitch prop or constant speed?

    • @captjim4756
      @captjim4756 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      gooniac33 Constant Speed on Whirlwind 100-4 Prop and Jihostrj 910 governor.

    • @scottdoubleyou563
      @scottdoubleyou563 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      The v6 powered ones do sound great, but there's a owner in Australia that has one thats Chevrolet LS powered. I cannot remember if it's a Titan or the S51, but it sounds amazing on a high speed pass.

    • @gooniac33
