    Building a twin mustang

    Hi folks, going to Copperstate next week to see the show and the RFA club people. Hope all is well with you. Got the shape of the tail mostly completed, and am making a few minor changes on the engine cowling, as well as the prop spinnen. Foaming is a long and tedious process, but is coming...

    Building a twin mustang

    Thanks for the info revkev6. One of the main reasons for the Viper is the sound. I am an old drag racer and I do not want the sound of "two" V-8s racing. While there are many other V-8 options, the preferred sound (in my opinion), would be that of the Falconer V-12s side by side...

    Building a twin mustang

    I have watched with great interest the progress on the XP-82. To see it fly will be fantastic to say the least. There is also an F-82-E (the long range interceptor) that should be flying in 2013 also. These are two very good stories of what can be done when people put their minds together...

    Have any of you seen the You Tube video where George Giboney crash lands his Thunder Mustang and lives to tell about it? Take a look and it shows how well the T M is built, Awesome that no one was hurt seriously. Don

    Pepsi, I feel for you and hope things get better. Take some time to get things straight and hopefully it will work out. Try the idea of the futures traders, and it might surprise you what can happen. At your age you have a great future ahead of you, use it wisely. I've finally bought a...

    Building a twin mustang

    Hi Pepsi, Naw, that doesn't mean mine is over. I feel my larger scale will be that much better, and to see it flying will be great, since it will only be 5 feet 8 inches shorter than the original. I currently have the fuselage in a storage unit (35 ft), and the wife said we need to find a new...

    Crossing the atlantic: which requirements?

    This is a very interesting thread, and after thinking about it for awhile, it should be possible. I've considered the possibility of using two 120 gallon drop tanks, and the internal fuel load of 220 gallon wing tanks, and each side having 45 gallon fuselage tanks. This would be about 470...

    Building a twin mustang

    Hey everyone, hope all is well. Things are going well here too. I was in contact with Bill Koleno of Titan T-51 fame last thanksgiving, and he said he is building a 60% scale F-82, and should have it flying by Osh Kosh to do a "surprise" visit. He didn't elaborate on powerplants, but he did...

    Stewart S-51 plans where?

    Sketus, I recently heard of a man building landing gear for the S-51s. I believe he has a set of what you might need, but I do not know how complete his info is, or if he would be willing to part with it. I will try to see him this weekend, and find out what I can. Don

    Thanks bmcj, could your dad have possibly been in Itazuke Japan? A close friend that recently passed on, worked as a Radar Tech on the F-82s at Itazuke Japan for the 68th F(AW)S. Also, my friends grandfather, Bud Sherman was the pilot in the F-82 FQ-403 picture that is on my avatar. It is a...

    Building a twin mustang

    I think I understand your situation, My father passed away when I was in the Air Force working on C-141s, and he took a large part of me with him, and I think of him every day. I decided to go ahead with my project in his memory, as he served in Korea. It has been difficult, dealing with his...
