@@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).
@@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.
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.
The Thunder Mustang with the falconer V12 is by far THE best replica currently out there, looks great and sounds superb.👌
God bless pilots,, builders, machinists, P&A techs, and those who dream big to do the amazing.
Damn. Such an epic aircraft and its a 2 seater. Rich people would buy a ferrari, i would buy this
These are rich people.

Rich people buy these and Ferraris.
If you want it bad enough, most people can be rich. Certainly rich enough to fly heavy TW.
@@lightspeed72 still more expensive than most Ferraris so still very rich people
1:02 - 1:55 Why is the Attitude Indicator so messed up?
I'd like to see the pics taken of both from that chase plane.
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
Love the P-51’s and the men that fly them. Fly high fly safe Blue Skies ❤️❤️💙💙😘🙋🏼♀️
great sound. that's all that matters.
I swear those engines sound like they are going to fly apart no pun intended.
Damn, sounds like it's cranking full rpm and landing at 120.
I noticed the Mustang's Artificial Horizon is tilted in a left-hand turn while sitting on even ground! That cannot be good!
Probably had it "caged" for aerobatics,

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
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 That's why the R/C crowd call them "Stand off" scale. The joke is "stand off and squint." :)
I wish they’d make full size
3 blade prop ?
He's running dam near 3000iin the same aircraft
ahhh, so cute
A Mustang the size of a Messerschmitt!
Is this a scaled down model.looks so small
do a google on "Thunder Mustang." It's 75% scale with a maritime engine.
Mini mustang
WHAT KIND OF ENGINES ARE THESE?
Falconer v12's
"Falconer V-12" with 90-degree angle on the cylinders. Built by Ryan Falconer.
The basic architecture draws from the Chevrolet V8 auto engine. Things like pistons, rods and valves could interchange.
Internal combustion engines.
👍
Nice
The real mcoy will cost around 1million dollars. How much would this downscale be around
300 grand for the kit, 675 including builders assistance.
The real ones are trading for well over 2 million these days. with 3+ million not being rare. this thing is a bargin
Looks like a shark flying with the mustangs

Would've been sweet if he was fully loaded
Nice stang...need better videos than this one. Sad, the closest I'll ever come to flying one is UA-cam.
Ready to take on ground cannons- Uncle sam loves you. Hope if you live the enemy takes you on ok
Agree-how about a better video!
Pretty tight! I like
Meh.
