Ironically, most modern car V12 engines are way to small to be a 70% merlin... It would need to be 9.3L. But if we ignore that and just look at the horse power, that is about 440hp or there abouts. Well inside range of most V12 avalible today. If you had a true 70% scale merlin it would be 255kg, that would be to heavy for this airframe.

there would be a huge market for that... seriously ! imagine a B17 of a smaller scale or even full scale... built using modern methods... just upgrade the proven most desirable stuff... talking flat screens and analog for back up... sound absorbtion honey comb skin... such a thing could even be somewhat stealthy as the radar beams would get trapped inside the skin and bounce around ... never at all beaming back to the collection array... so much you could do... and u could do it so much cheaper... even the engines and all of its components could be upgraded in a big way... Dennis lets pray someone with deep pockets gets the same idea or maybe one of us will win a lottery or something lol.

So a scaled down M2 would fire .338 lapua mag. 8.6 x 70 with a 300gr bullet or does someone have a different cartridge that would be nearly 70% of 50bmg or would it be better to produce an exact 70% wildcat cartridge? Also would we be able to lighten the gun maybe by making non pressure parts from a lighter metal and the pressure parts thinner since it is'nt going to have as much pressure or recoil?

It’s amazing how authentic the Rotax sounds in that airframe! Not to mention the scale details. If I had the money I would order kit #11.

We all love the P-51, and I'll never own one of these magnificent replicas, but I'd sure like to see something else. With the Titan T-51, the Stewart S-51, the FK Lightplanes P-51, the Loehle 5151 etc. etc. etc. the 70% P-51 has been replica'ed to death. With the constellation of single-engine WW2 fighters out there it'd sure be nice to see a 70% F4U, P-47, FW-190, A6M, Yak-3 or a Fiat G-55, and yes radial engines are an option.

I’m not sure that 450 hp would be desirable in this airframe. Unless you’re looking at a turboprop, any piston engine of 450 hp is going to add an unmanageable amount of weight. I’m a horsepower fiend, but I believe the designer has landed on the sweet spot of power to weight.

@@RitzRT Giving this plane more power would be very similar to retrofitting a 400HP turbo hayabusa engine in a moped that experiences an unavoidable high speed wobble at 65mph. Sure, you'd get up to speed quick...real quick...probably doing a wheelie the entire time...but you won't be busting through that 65mph mark unless you just feel like dying. The reason why they made this plane with an inherent speed limit is because they had no interest in making it based on performance. It started off as a scale RC plane meant to look like a mustang, and they simply scaled it up to fit people. The whole thing is based on appearances alone, and I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they called it a success after finding out it could only fly 100mph. Scale warbird enthusiasts have this mindset that they need to fly slow to look more scale, and they're real particular about copying panel lines and rivets...apparently that mindset is pretty hard to shake off when designing real airplanes.

Love this but my favorite is the corsair.

my goodness i was just imagining this the other day.... my AI at home must have heard me talking about it... and i mean that totally... cause i never told anyone at work ... i litterally said man u can build just about everything hout of carbon fiber and that i wanted a P51 like tom cruise has in real life... but im poor so i will never be able to have either unless i 3d print my own stuff.... and work on it til my fingers bleed... and i login tonight after work and find this in my recommendations

They should build an me109, p38... I built models of the p51.. one of my favs.

I am very surprised how inexpensive this is... When you figure a new Cessna 172 costs over 400k. Now I realize they don't have the 100k insurance sold on the serial number as a certified airplane, and that you build it yourself-- but still. Good job guys!!!
