dazza 38 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Just checked out titan a/c web site. The titan mustang looks nice. Does anybody know much about it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 One person who can tell you a lot about them is Jim Wickam who fly's out of Tyabb in Victoria - he's built at least two of them, both beautifully built and great looking aeroplanes.

sleemanj Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 There's qute a number of them flying in New Zealand (no smart remarks about our Air Force please :patch:), they sure are nice looking machines. Ivan (& Sandy) Campbell - Titan T-51 Mustang - are the distributors in this part of the world and they have done some real good work in assembling them. I'm sure they'd be more than happy to talk to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Walter Buschor Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 There is a guy building one at Gympie Airfield. I forgot his name but he works on it daily in the "biggest" hangar. It will be a nice plane when finished and I have dropped in a few times to check on the progress. It certanly is not far from Boonah and worth a flight to Gympie to check it out. The work involved is daunting though. safe flying Walter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sloper Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Can anybody tell me what options are availbale for registering a completed T-51? regards Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downunder Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I made some enquiries a while ago when the 750 kg limit looked good. Do-able as a single seater on RAA rego but still needs to be kept light. Look into the engine weights and proposed fuel capacity. My opinion is it would probably be best as VH exp with a honda or isuzu V6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 172M Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 FWIW. The two 75% P51's that Jim Wickam operates are not Titan Aircraft. They are all composite, both running around 500hp all Ally Chevs with redrives and four blade C/S props and yep, sound great and go like a cut cats! built under VH EXP.( stall speed is 70 odd knots) Have a great New Year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumby Aircraft Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Jim does have one Titan mustang ,PG aviation is almost near completion of there two seat plug that will be a carbon fibre shell ,Chrome molly fueslage , And all components made on there CNC . It will have the choice of two engines Rotax or the Isuzu V 6 and is 3/4 scale . The Rotax version is designed to fit in the RA AUS registration and will have the same docile characteristics as the Brumby range of aircraft allowing safe flying for low time pilots . Those pilots requiring some thing with a bit more punch can use the V6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly_tornado Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 When I was in SLC I saw a T51 fuselage hanging from the ceiling at the Motionaero garage. It looks like a lot of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumby Aircraft Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 This one will be all pre fabricated and not quite as complicated ,Hence the carbon fire shell saves monthe of sheet work . These will be only done in kits with all components manufactured . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shu77 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I had the same opinon that if you were going to build one of these you would want a nice throaty sounding V6 and the ability to do aerobatics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumby Aircraft Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Yes and know ,The RAA style is designed to be as cheap as possible therefore the Rotax will suit a range of people that can build a quality aircraft at a reosonable price . Once you step up to yhe V6 it adds cost as it is a very different inatalation . I agree it will sound much better though .It is important to cater for both markets we will run the V6 in the first one here . These are not really designed as a great aerobatic aircraft will get some pics up soon , Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Don't think anyone has done a Hawker Tempest yet..... [ATTACH=full]19954[/ATTACH] Is that Tempest pic for real or photoshopped?

pylon500 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 plan on doing a large scale model one day I started doing some drawings for something a bit bigger, but I don't see myself having any time to do anything in the foreseeable future:no: As for the photo, unfortunately yes, photoshop. Just trying to inspire myself while playing with CAD Truth is, (and looking at your avatar) I am more likely to build the Hurricane I started drawing a few years back. https://plus.google.com/photos/113292981019876413104/albums/5212775815502683841/5315228105331359986?banner=pwa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shu77 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I was going to make the hurricane my next awesome LSA thread: http://www.flyinglegend.it/ The only issue I can see is that its on the European 472Kg MTOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pylon500 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I was going to make the hurricane my next awesome LSA thread: Personally I would stay away from hoping to achieve LSA status. That said, if this is 472kg MTOW, it fits 19-xxxx. Not sure why people want to build/fly 'Walter Mitty' machines like this, and carry passengers? I figure, if you want a two seater, build a two seater Just me photoshopping again although some of my initial drawings here; https://plus.google.com/photos/113292981019876413104/albums/5212775815502683841/5424354393046479058?banner=pwa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
