Company says its two-seat Mustang program has grown from a small-show debut to a 40-aircraft delivery milestone.
650 lbs useful load. You put 2 Americans in it that are around or over 200 lbs, then fill it up with fuel, and the performance will mimic a tired late 70’s Cessna 152 on a hot humid day. Toss anything in the luggage compartment and forget about it…
It’s not mentioned if the SW-51 is acrobatic but if so it might make a fun machine for tearing up the sky.
The wiki page (LSA version) lists the performance as +8/-4g. Whats the sense of having a Mustang if you cant do at least basic aerobatics :).
This is one for the “Hey Look at ME!” pilots.
A REAL Mustang was a high performance aircraft while this just “Kinda” looks like a Mustang from a distance.
It probably sounds like a chain saw.
I get it that few can afford the Real Thing but they could have equipped these with a more powerful ngine?
“It probably sounds like a chain saw.”
Well, at least they have that covered. From the Wiki article:
It also includes a 2000 watt sound system that provides a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine sound and a smoke generator for start-up smoke simulation.
