Thank you for posting this here, Matthias! I'm really excited to see the completed aircraft, and it is really neat having followed along in the rebuild of this Flug Werk airframe and seeing all of the original Focke Wulf type components/systems that have been incorporated into the aircraft now.

We had a very noisy Friday morning :supz: Friday 2018-12-14

Power-runs with NAA P-51 "Queen of Hearts". The revised engine ran more than perfect, fine acceleration, perfect response on the power-settings / throttle. A lot of fun with 2.800 rpm .... and of course lousy cold

ground shaking

Julian Heinrich at the stick .... see that smile ;-)

Image

Marc Lais at the throttle

Image

good idea not to lock up my lil Cooper .... the car-alarm would have started immediately

- Weird to see a P-51 without the prop dome..AKA like a Canadian Hurricane
- Nice to see such artwork....I miss the time when original artwork was appropriate....

Matthias,

If that is the "whole team" in the picture, I say they are supermen (and women) for creating what comes out of MeierMotors!

Schöne Ferien für Ihr gesamtes Team
