I went up to a little airport nearby to check this thing out. 3/4 scale P-51 replica kit. 100hp 4cyl, soon to be replaced by a 240hp 6. It took 3 years to build.
1998 Frontier 4x4, 2002 Xterra 4x4, 2007 AWD Murano, 1970 Chevy CST10 lowrider, and an Intruder VS800. I dreamt I was a muffler last night. When I woke up, I was exhausted.

it's definitely not a true replica. The cockpit is full of modern-day avionics. I'm assuming it's got a 4cyl rotary engine and they are upgrading to the bigger 6 cyl lycoming .
The helo is sycorsky H-53 variant. I'm not exactly sure what model it is, I recognize the airframe.
Yeah, I guess replica was the wrong word for it. I forgot what the new engine will be...probably Lycoming or Continental since they are popular. The current engine is a Rotax (Bombardier).
