Default Replica P-51's

Psst, Mike...

Scaled down replicas tend not to be particularly safe, mostly due to high wing loading, but there are many other issues.

So, though this is over-simplification of a very very complex subject, unless you plan a full scale replica and mega dollars thereby, a cautious soul might consider another nemesis. Consider getting a real one.

Good luck.

(Why not have David help find you a decent MIG-15 or MIG-17 from his friends in Poland? Much cheaper, faster, very impressive and it can function as a runway ice remover and hangar heater in the winter. And just about as dangerous.)
