Cool plane, but I would've preferred an original design. Low wing single engine retractable gear planes are by definition good looking machines, feels almost like a waste to make it look like something we already know like a P-51.
yep like fashion models 'dreams' for most ,but mate a nice job done , can they do a spitfire ?, and I hear calls for a fockerwolf 190 ,and corsair . probably the honda V6 aero ,245Hp,conversion package would be a nice fit too . do I hear a top gun dog fight school being set up ,with lazer tag 50 cals ?. [who'll play lufty waffies ], would need ballistic chutes .
Why not hust build it full size, with modern materials and run a turbo prop....I ve also wondered with modern engine management computers , the power out put of a modern V-12 , V16, or radial engine would be insane...to match ww2 power levels should be rather easy..........
What a great first step. The engine and prop are obviously in desperate need of upgrade. I'd love to see this with at least 300hp and a bigger prop. The RV-8 being less than HALF the price (with much better performance) is going to be a major factor.
Sorry, I like this Mustang replica, but it doesn´t sounds like a real one, but same like any other fast plane with same engine. Compare it with sound of VL3 with 915, sounds absolutelly same and outer shape of plane is totally different.
With the ability to have self designed parts manufactured at such high quality these days, ide be shocked if someone doesn't scale down the designs for a Royce engine, and kit this plane out to be a true 70%.
Can you contact me. I’d like to buy a plane. I think I want a velocity twin, need a builder and Pilot. I was hoping they would release the turbine engines but does not look like that will happen.
O man I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed that! My brother was a pilot and over the years we bought a citabria decathlon, two place Pitts, Ryan PT22, Smith Mini Plane. My brother was killed in a non air related accident. His favorite plane was a P51. When he died a guy named Col Ed Messicks flew one in his funeral. The ground shook when it came over, nothing sounds like that. Can you tell me the cost, and operation cost? The 007 is the new ones I understand. Thank you for that!
MIGHT be keen on... Gas turbine genset + rotary encoder for smart tech wavefront wngineering approaches to high power density and pressure vs speed and "flame within a sflame*" waveform modulation /Pwm Controlled turbulence localisation system
Great idea Jaguar is the first that comes to mind and are Fairly Cheap depending on which year and Model i bought an xJs 5,3 in an estate sale that was not running for cheap Just had to Clean the Fuel rails and Injectors Not sure how heavy it is.. I'm sure it could make Great HP with a Turbo LOL maybe way to Much RPM would need a gear reduction
I really want to see someone build one of these with a V12 or at least a V8 with a higher displacement and a bouncy cam, just to make it sound and feel like the real thing! It looks so damn amazing! Its just missing the sound and vibrations!
