The North American P-51 Mustang is often possibly the most highly revered tail skid ever created, and several companies maintain released look-alikes of the classic warbird. The new addition to the Mustang stable get from FK-Lightplanes — a Polish program} that produces LSAs and aerobatic airplanes. Its SW51 recently popularized the skies for the first time and serie number three, which will be flying below an experimental exhibition airworthiness certificates, is expected to land in the Circumstance. S. by the year-end.
According to Ron Hansen, the vice president of Hansen Air Group — the United states dealer for FK-Lightplanes, the SW51 is a 70-percent scale imitation during the North American P-51 made of a exclusive material that is both lighter along with stronger than carbon fiber iPhone 5. The material is often stained to look like aluminum.
Plus the original warbird, which has nearly the most affordable, 500 horsepower and flies around 435 knots, the SW51 is often powered by a 100-hp Rotax 912 ULS engine driving a fixed-pitch iPhone 5 carbon fiber three-blade DUC propeller and expected to cruise at around 160 knots. The new airplane will be able to stand up to aerobatic maneuvers within +8 along with -4 G.
Hansen said FK-Lightplanes can produce the airplane in one day or two and his company expects to receive home SW51 in mid-December. FK-Lightplanes intends to certify the SW51 with the light sport aircraft category.
Its SW designation is due to FK-Lightplanes' conjunction with ScaleWings, which helped mannequin the airplane. The SW51 took out more than 40, 000 man-hours to formulate.
