Wheels didn't go up into the wings, right?

This guy is awesome

Very nice, the only thing that lets these birds down are the donks! I wouldn’t trust an auto donk on any plane! No helmet no chute…..crazy!

Underrated tech

I was worried at 5:55 as it rolled to starboard but that puppy autoleveled ‘like a boss’

V8

Is it still flying? Beautiful plane.

Excellent.

As a Brit and fan of the Spit and Merlin engine, that Corvette engine sounds just as sweet. 🙂

Woooow wonderful and fabulous video 😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉

Побольше таких видео, хотя от куда взять столько времени

The information he provides is just not enough for a build. I'm interested. I would like more information at 5.14 in the video. He goes over the wing ratios as 10, 15 20, 25 "which could be more than that" I see the marks on the wing at the fuselage but I can not read the notation there. @5.22. How thich is the fuselage?

Top Job 👍

Look at the deflection on those flaps. crazy

Almost impossible to believe. Congrats!

The camera work is like a child that just learned how the zoom worked. It takes away from the actual work done to make this plane.

Amazing amounts of time and effort.....I would love to understand the decision on building the 2/3 scale... can anyone explain?

Ground effekt ist ein lippisch Effekt :)

Rest in peace

Hello, very realistic sound, and very good work for a P51d my favorit aircraft WW2. Greetings from France.

COOL !!!

It's an academic question, I suppose, but I'm wondering why people keep using the term _"ground_ effect", when that is specific to solid ground, despite the fact that most of these operate over water. Why not use _"surface_ effect" more uniformly?

Awesome plane - stupid question: why 2/3 size?

I want a 2:3 scale F 35 C...

Could I talk to you ? I think I am building the same plane .F.E.W. Tell me how I can contact you I am concerned about the landing gear.

Would be a great idea to put in 6 Browning 50 cals and strafe some ground targets, like Russian BTRs and BMPs in Ukraine. I think Ivan would have the shock of their lives to see a WWII fighter going at 'em.

congratulations on making this project a reality

Wow

If you can build a 2/3 scale version you can build a full scale version instead!

Exactly what engine is used in this?

Cool airplane, crappy video.

Take back comment, it's amazing did not know he was really flying IN it !!

Rediculous!

A project of epic proportions. What a wonderful sight, flight, and mission.

Looks and flys absolutely fantastic

Beauty. Smooth landing, like he flew it many times already!

most cannot afford a real P-51 because at $1.6 to $2.0 million it's a lot of money so they buy and build a kit like this at a fraction of the cost however how safe are they really? I built a Glassair III with the IO-540 and after the required time and with the blessing of my build coach from the EAA after 5 years and 300 hours later still going strong

great story, sorry videography

Does the landing gear retract?

When...aviation meets art...

He did have flaps on landing. It looked like an F-104 version Mustang because everything outboard of the flaps disappeared. Great glide performance without wings.

What a beaut!!!! V12 engine there? The cockpit looks awfully cramped, but understandable. Takes a lot of passion to build something that a human pilot can fly. But if you can build a 2/3 scale version, why not go ahead a build a full 1/1 scale?

Nice

I can't believe he did that, a young voice shouts. Thanks for your confidence Son.

Awesome plane! Even Hank Hill showed up to appreciate it...

that is the cutest P-51 I've ever seen!!!

Thank you

Great video. Thanks for sharing!

My late Uncle, career fighter pilot (35yrs USAF) Retied Colonel Ewald Glenn Kruggel flew the P-51 almost right out of high school. Him and his buddy would take his buddy's dad's crop duster and buzz the high school for kicks in Beaumont Ca....so...he had the right stuff. Back then if you could fly a plane...you became a USAF Pilot. In the 70's he would do a speed pass over our house in Cucamonga in his F-4 Phantom to let everybody know he was back in town.....sounded like a missile about to impact....never took out any windows though. It made the news. Bought a Decathlon when he retired and took me flying and golfing once a week for a long time out of Redlands Ca. This while building an R-V 4. He fashioned an air scoop (oil cooler) like the P-51's between the mains just for kik's. If you research his name you'll find his history. Named my youngest son after him....a great pilot, story teller and gentleman.
