Facts

[@bradleydavies3225]

Have a look at the Aerosport Engineering of Norway V12 engine specifically designed for scale warbirds. 650hp 54g/hr

[@alwayscensored6871]

@@bradleydavies3225 Thanks, do they sound the same? 70% Lancaster with four engines.

[@matsv201]

Ironically, most modern car V12 engines are way to small to be a 70% merlin... It would need to be 9.3L. But if we ignore that and just look at the horse power, that is about 440hp or there abouts. Well inside range of most V12 avalible today. If you had a true 70% scale merlin it would be 255kg, that would be to heavy for this airframe.

[@kevinpittman2517]

there would be a huge market for that... seriously ! imagine a B17 of a smaller scale or even full scale... built using modern methods... just upgrade the proven most desirable stuff... talking flat screens and analog for back up... sound absorbtion honey comb skin... such a thing could even be somewhat stealthy as the radar beams would get trapped inside the skin and bounce around ... never at all beaming back to the collection array... so much you could do... and u could do it so much cheaper... even the engines and all of its components could be upgraded in a big way... Dennis lets pray someone with deep pockets gets the same idea or maybe one of us will win a lottery or something lol.

[@flyfalcons]

I saw this at Osh and was absolutely blown away. Incredible detailing on the surfaces and the flight demo was just beautiful. This has got to be the most well-executed scaled down Mustang kit ever done.

[@cptairwolf]

Absolutely blown away by the workmanship in this mold.

[@ExperimentalAircraftChannel]

YES! Very impressive the DETAIL put into this design. Even on the interior!

[@andrewallason4530]

I wonder if the detail of the rivet ‘dimples’ would have a golfball effect on airflow over the airplane?

This is the very best of the kit-build 51s. The engineering, check; the construction, check; the detailing, check. It even sounds right. If I were in the market for a premium home-built, the search is over. It’s a dream come true.

[@markserbu]

Definitely one of the best things I saw at Oshkosh this year!

[@Thedailygrind90]

buy one and put some scaled down m2's in it.

[@CheZfrmdaWestWisc]

So a scaled down M2 would fire .338 lapua mag. 8.6 x 70 with a 300gr bullet or does someone have a different cartridge that would be nearly 70% of 50bmg or would it be better to produce an exact 70% wildcat cartridge? Also would we be able to lighten the gun maybe by making non pressure parts from a lighter metal and the pressure parts thinner since it is'nt going to have as much pressure or recoil?

[@karlfriedrich7758]

This is incredible. If Scale Wings built a 100% size BF-109 that'd be absolute perfection. Hoping to see them grow and add more iconic aircraft!

Beautiful aircraft, they did an awesome job of scaling the real P51. 👍

[@baomao7243]

Airframe looks pretty compelling. Would LIVE to see this upgraded to 3x the power.

[@oldschoolmotorsickle]

I’m not sure that 450 hp would be desirable in this airframe. Unless you’re looking at a turboprop, any piston engine of 450 hp is going to add an unmanageable amount of weight. I’m a horsepower fiend, but I believe the designer has landed on the sweet spot of power to weight.

[@Skinflaps_Meatslapper]

Strap a Merlin on the front of this thing and you still won't be able to exceed 216kts. The extra power isn't worth much of anything without an increased Vne

[@RitzRT]

@@Skinflaps_Meatslapper Interesting that it would be limited in this way. Why build something that LOOKS like a P-51, but does not perform more like a "hot rod"? It's like those lambo kit cars based on a Pontiac Fiero or Volkswagen beetle running gear. Sure, it LOOKS like a lambo, but it still performs like a relatively slow economy car. Not complaining, but curious. The Rotax 915is can be configured with up to 300hp.

[@waveman2952]

Nope, strap a modified Kawasaki Jet Ski supercharged 310 hp motor on there. Another guy in the Experimental world has one with 410 hp for STOL competition planes. They are extremely tough powerplants! All forged steel and can handle up to 1200hp in race configuration!

[@Skinflaps_Meatslapper]

@@RitzRT Giving this plane more power would be very similar to retrofitting a 400HP turbo hayabusa engine in a moped that experiences an unavoidable high speed wobble at 65mph. Sure, you'd get up to speed quick...real quick...probably doing a wheelie the entire time...but you won't be busting through that 65mph mark unless you just feel like dying. The reason why they made this plane with an inherent speed limit is because they had no interest in making it based on performance. It started off as a scale RC plane meant to look like a mustang, and they simply scaled it up to fit people. The whole thing is based on appearances alone, and I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they called it a success after finding out it could only fly 100mph. Scale warbird enthusiasts have this mindset that they need to fly slow to look more scale, and they're real particular about copying panel lines and rivets...apparently that mindset is pretty hard to shake off when designing real airplanes.

We all love the P-51, and I'll never own one of these magnificent replicas, but I'd sure like to see something else. With the Titan T-51, the Stewart S-51, the FK Lightplanes P-51, the Loehle 5151 etc. etc. etc. the 70% P-51 has been replica'ed to death. With the constellation of single-engine WW2 fighters out there it'd sure be nice to see a 70% F4U, P-47, FW-190, A6M, Yak-3 or a Fiat G-55, and yes radial engines are an option.

[@ConcreteBombDeep]

Are these type of planes designed with belly landings in mind? like what if the electric landing gear doesn't open do you get shredded from the bottom up?

[@simons.4991]

Dears, the current Vne is based, with some margin, on the actual Vh with the Rotax. (Vh is the maximum horizontal speed) Of course with a larger engine, the aircraft can technically do higher Vne (upon testing and confirmation). Due to the use of carbon fiber push rods in the control surfaces and the entire carbon fiber structure design with huge static load reserves, and incredible stiffness, the aircraft can see higher speeds at all and is principally already designed for it ;)

[@brandoncorwin8812]

Amazing. However, what is the planning involved with flying one of these. I imagine you would have to submit a flight plan and notify the local airspace every time you fly one of these. They are large enough to have a radar signature and large enough to cause serious damage if they crash.

[@mahyadnaadlaw3112]

Beautiful.

[@j4s0n39]

The real P-51 had laminar flow wings that helped it with top speed and fuel efficiency. But that also made it easy to depart controlled flight during a low speed maneuver. Does this design have that issue?

[@warrenkral6562]

I am very surprised how inexpensive this is... When you figure a new Cessna 172 costs over 400k. Now I realize they don't have the 100k insurance sold on the serial number as a certified airplane, and that you build it yourself-- but still. Good job guys!!!
