That plane looks beautiful. A little shinier than the original I'm thinkin'... but still beautiful.

Cheers,

WOW , nobodys complaining bout the incorrect swasticas . Oh wait give it a minute
Nice Mustang that Sal Rubino raced at Reno couple years ago, saw it then and hope to see in the not to distant future
Came from San Jose I believe Lynn.

A little confused here. Are you identifying the 51 in this thread as Sal Rubino's N51PW? Afraid not, same FG but the 51 discussed here is N286JB.

Sal Rubino's P-51.

Just curious, is that an AN-104 antenna behind the cockpit of this P-51? If so, why is it bare wood? The AN-104's I have seen (like on my L-5G) are wood with a steel cover. I have seen this bare wood antenna on this mustang and another in england... is that correct? Not trying to be nit-picky just curious...

If I'm not mistaken I think Evergreen's P-51 has a bare wood antenna as well. Not sure how original it is though.

Not much original on EVG's P-51

44-73149 aka Ferocis Frankie also has the -724

Here is our -724. It is a magazine rack. This is being set up as a hybrid with -9 blower and pan. That way it fits properly under the hood. I know of others who have used a -724 quite successfully in a P-51.

I remember when Max Ramsey had the EV 51 and when it was built at Unlimited. Then I ended up doing a bit of maint and a polish to it the few months I worked at Marana.

The dreaded hand print. Quick, dust for prints and fingerprint everybody to find the culprit.
