Thunder Mustang 2018

Formation Training in Reno, June 2018

[@p51dgp91]

The Thunder Mustang with the falconer V12 is by far THE best replica currently out there, looks great and sounds superb.👌

[@Mastiique]

Damn. Such an epic aircraft and its a 2 seater. Rich people would buy a ferrari, i would buy this

[@Rif_Leman]

These are rich people.

[@lightspeed72]

@@Rif_Leman Actually this is a 3/4 scale kit plane that is 1/10th to 1/15th the cost to buy (and run) than the original. It comparatively cheaper and more "affordable" (that too is a relative term).

[@EatPezzzz]

Rich people buy these and Ferraris.

[@Michael-4]

If you want it bad enough, most people can be rich. Certainly rich enough to fly heavy TW.

[@madhukarjonathanminj2772]

​@@lightspeed72 still more expensive than most Ferraris so still very rich people

God bless pilots,, builders, machinists, P&A techs, and those who dream big to do the amazing.

[@AJKecsk]

A Mustang the size of a Messerschmitt!

[@easttexan2933]

great sound. that's all that matters.

[@kcomst]

Nice stang...need better videos than this one. Sad, the closest I'll ever come to flying one is KZbin.

[@chefduane3742]

1:02 - 1:55 Why is the Attitude Indicator so messed up?

[@sternphonic]

He's running dam near 3000iin the same aircraft

[@MattMorris481]

I swear those engines sound like they are going to fly apart no pun intended.

[@bcabmac]

Damn, sounds like it's cranking full rpm and landing at 120.

[@michaelrojas8658]

I wish they’d make full size

[@P51]

ahhh, so cute

[@sternphonic]

Would've been sweet if he was fully loaded

[@elm6765]

I'd like to see the pics taken of both from that chase plane.

[@sternphonic]

Ready to take on ground cannons- Uncle sam loves you. Hope if you live the enemy takes you on ok

[@ronmartin3755]

I noticed the Mustang's Artificial Horizon is tilted in a left-hand turn while sitting on even ground! That cannot be good!

[@MrFrontenginedragste]

Probably had it "caged" for aerobatics,

[@av8rshane491]

@@MrFrontenginedragste, when it’s caged it will be locked in the wings level position. It just needed a little time to erect or you can momentarily cage it and it would show level wings.

[@jimczerwinski4951]

Nice

[@bobbyfredieu7622]

I sure wish I could ride in a P 51 mustang it's one of my favorite air plane,s. It's a beautiful air plane

[@nancyplew8258]

Love the P-51’s and the men that fly them. Fly high fly safe Blue Skies ❤️❤️💙💙😘🙋🏼‍♀️

[@herbertruby6093]

3 blade prop ?

[@HUEEY]

Mini mustang

[@TheCraftedMine]

there's something off about it its supposed to be 75% scale right? but either the canopy is too big or the wings are tok small... it looks wrong

[@Purlee100]

The wings are a little smaller than scale. There is a good aerodynamic reason for this, which I read a few years ago, but have now, sadly, forgotten

[@davem5333]

When you scale down an airplane you can't scale everything down the same amount. Some things you have to scale down less. A 25% reduction across the whole airplane could result in a cockpit too small to fit a pilot. Or some control surfaces undersized. Or the engine might not fit. Or the plane wouldn't balance. Or fuel tanks are too small. Have to cheat a bit.

[@jeffchilds8050]

@@davem5333 That's why the R/C crowd call them "Stand off" scale. The joke is "stand off and squint." :)

[@coreyeg87]

Looks like a shark flying with the mustangs

[@steveunderwood4944]

Agree-how about a better video!

[@flypawels]

👍

[@killingfields1424]

The real mcoy will cost around 1million dollars. How much would this downscale be around

[@Tjita1]

300 grand for the kit, 675 including builders assistance.

[@wcc963]

The real ones are trading for well over 2 million these days. with 3+ million not being rare. this thing is a bargin

[@robertjones1543]

Is this a scaled down model.looks so small

[@jeffchilds8050]

do a google on "Thunder Mustang." It's 75% scale with a maritime engine.

[@jorgemarioospinopaz672]

[@Mightymouserc]

Pretty tight! I like

[@stevekellar1403]

WHAT KIND OF ENGINES ARE THESE?

[@kaxis26]

Falconer v12's

[@Twister051]

"Falconer V-12" with 90-degree angle on the cylinders. Built by Ryan Falconer.

[@thewheelieguy]

The basic architecture draws from the Chevrolet V8 auto engine. Things like pistons, rods and valves could interchange.

[@Jim.Thunda]

Internal combustion engines.

[@mase7557]

Meh.
