Its great seeing a non aviation guy working on an aircraft. You looked at it for what it is. A machine or piece of equipment. Its no different than any other machine. Just a different shape. Engines are engines. Nice work. Im an aviation and automobile mechanic and i enjoyed how you took this step by step with common sense thinking
@@TunedbyShaneT Yes. Modern aircraft (piston daily flyers are ~1/10th) less complex as modern automobiles (daily drivers). They should really be called Aircraft Maintainers, and Automobile Engineers. 👍
In the early 1980's there was a homebuilt kit being offered that used an Oldsmobile 300ci aluminum V-8, it looked like a mix of later mark spitfire and P-40Q with bubble canopy. It sounded like a well-built hotrod on takeoff and doing flybys, the Falconer V-12 appeared around that time, glad to see it still around since there was another company trying to sell GM based V-8's for replacing engines on certified aircraft. Once you get the computers calibrated to keep the best fuel air mixture then the fun begins to get the best power out of the engine.
@@TunedbyShaneT There have been 8 fatal accidents involving Thunder Mustangs. All but one of them involved an engine failure. Many, many others have experienced engine failures, but were able to get back on the ground. Most weren't even modified engines used at Reno. Just the stock Falconer as supplied for the aircraft.
It’s been a while since I heard the name Thunder Mustang. In the early to mid 1990s I helped to conduct the ground vibration test (GVT)on the number one aircraft. It was an awesome looking aircraft at the time and even more so now.👍
@@TunedbyShaneT The company I worked for and conducted the GVT was Specialized Testing Service Arleta, Ca. The President/Owner and DER was Sandy Friezner.

This is an absolutely exceptional aircraft!!! I’m blown away that this engine exists- never heard of it. And it seems the perfect match for this airframe.
Wow that little mustang is a real ass kicker and the livery is very beautiful, I screen shot photos of it and I'm seriously thinking I might just scratch build me a R/C version of that fine bird!
Such a great looking plane, but it's probably going need a little more steam than 600hp to be at the pointy end of sport gold nowadays if the Ly-Con crowd can keep them together. Best of luck to the team, and fingers crossed that air racing can find a new home somewhere.
@@LeachimSagrav333 That might be an option, but everything in aviation is a compromise. Weight, cooling drag, robustness of ancillary systems such as the psru, the prop design to turn torque in to thrust, etc, etc. Lots to consider. As it stands, the races beyond this year are in doubt so I don't think folks are going to be investing very heavily until that is sorted. '
Sounds like a Merlin. I have just been to an airshow that had a full size P51. It did not take off that fast. These aircraft are awesome. Seen them here in NZ and at the Races in 1982
Serious horsepower, serious aeroplane. ANY scale P-51 Mustang deserves credit. And if I'm not mistaken , this scaled Mustang actually equals the real one in speed and performance..!? Well yeah without the 6 , 50 cal Brownings...!!!! Cheers love it...! Stay safe
Im not an aviation guy. But i looked at the inside of one of those Lycoming flat engines once. One of the difference's i noticed were the intake amd exhaust valves were the same diameter and the cam was very low lift. It was totally optimized to run at low rpm.
I learn something every time I watch engineering videos. I would have never even thought about 3/4 fuselage & 5/8 wings. Or, a "homemade" v12 engine. And is that tug made by the Patey Brothers?
@@TunedbyShaneT I was referring to race cars of the 20's and 30's that maxed out around 4K rpm. Of course F1 didn't start until '50 so it was a bit of a misnomer.
Nice project Shane ! That was an eye opener watching you tune lambda in such a short pipe. I guess one would think the setup would justify a blown supercharger to go along thith those short pipes. It brings me back to the basics of my days of carb emission testing where the probe needed to be much further into the pipe than 4 inches. Speaking of emission testing I never hear much on 5 gas analyzing with performance tunners, it seems a 5 gas analyser would paint a much clearer picture about engine tuning, timing efficiency not just for emissions sake ! Nice job man btw !
How does the dual ecu's offer redundancy if each one is running one cylinder bank? I thought the "extra" ecu in most aircraft was so that it could be a hot swappable (switchable) backup ecu should anything fail on the main one. Could you explain how this works a little more? Thank you for making the videos, they're good.
What a great project! Aviation needed this approach. It would make these racers so much more reliable. So many just dying slow deaths in hangars! Without racing, sadly they will end up in museums.
Yeah man, the prop pitch lever controls the RPM and the throttle controls coarseness or otherwise of the prop blades via the governor to maintain the selected RPM between the coarse and fine stops. The blade pitch constantly changes depending on airspeed/altitude etc to maintain the selected RPM.
I was friends with one of the guys involved in the development of the Thunder 'Stangs RIP, what happens to all the purpose-built racing aircraft now that Reno is no more?
Not so much at idle, but when taking off and landing and doing passes at high or low speed this plane sounds very much like a Mustang minus the high pitched gear whine from supercharger gear drives. I have no idea how it manages to sound so deep and right, but well done!
@@TunedbyShaneT agreed. But think of what would happen if that was a real P-51. They'd have to take out the guns and cover up the holes where the guns were
I'd be really interested to see what the performance is like on just one ECU running only 6 cylinders. I'd have to imagine six of those cylinders completely dead just acting like a giant air compressor would be a heck of a drag on the engine. I've worked on V12 Ferrari engines that are set up the same way and they literally won't even start when one ECU isn't working. I definitely could be wrong but it almost seems like having one ECU running each half of the engine would be doubling the likelihood of failure not creating redundancy.
There is certainly an argument for that regarding redundancy. Yeah I’ve worked on a couple Ferrari’s like the Enzo we turboed and ran at Bonneville. So I’m familiar with the twin ecu setup one those engines. Certainly the power would be low with half the engine not running. Not even half. Just enough to hopefully land safely somewhere close by.
@@TunedbyShaneT I'm assuming that's something you guys are going to characterize since it's a pretty important part of the performance of the plane. I would be really interested to see what the difference in ideal glide ratio is between the prop stopped and feathered versus The engine only running on 6 cylinders and while they're fighting the other six. There's a lot of air drag caused by a spinning propeller. If the glide ratio isn't significantly better it might not be worth the doubling of engine management failure points.
@@TunedbyShaneT usually when a plane is running two ecus (or fadecs as they are normally called) it's a truly redundant system with two sets of everything all the way to dual spark plugs. This is similar to the dual mag setups of older aircraft. I've never seen a plane configured the way this one is with each ECU running half the engine.
@@TunedbyShaneT I have wondered if it would be possible to package turbos and the exhaust on one of those without adding so much drag that it would negate the power gain.
@@MX304 like most projects, you can easily make more power than you can cool, particularly if the power adder of choice is exhaust driven centrifugal superchargers. There is no question you can make more power than you lose in drag, but cooling the charge air and the engine itself based on how good a job you do at cooling the charge air will be a struggle.
@@TunedbyShaneT I was wondering if this aircraft was built from a the Thunder Mustang kit that Dean Holt has been marketing since he acquired the design.
Why not use holley dominator with a wideband o2 no mixture adjustment at any altitude necessary seems a better choice than running 2 computers for 2 different banks….
I have heard some people owning a Titan T-51 3/4 scale Thunder Mustang with Audi V12 engines turned upto 1,200 h.p. and will do 400 m.p.h. with a 4 blade propeller, but those are made out of Aluminium and not carbon fiber like the SW-51. Those airplanes are my dream flyer! Too bad it will always just be a day dream. I'll never get to own one😢. I don't have $350,000.00 U.S.. Plus the F.A.A. grounded me finding out I have Charcott Marry Tooth disease.😡
I have an adapter for my handheld that I can plug an aviation headset into. Maybe a centrifugal supercharger altitude compensator? That would be mega bitchen if they scaled it to 109%.
