Matt's TF-51 Home Page - Designing and Building a 3/4 Scale Mustang

TF-51 Site Updated 03/13/2006

Minor site update, see below

Goals are good right? Well mine is ticking away as you can see at the bottom of this page... - b9gw

We all know how expensive this hobby can be... If you feel so inclined to donate a few dollars to this wonderful sport of experimental aviation, please do so using the button below. If not, well then enjoy the site anyway!!!

100% of the proceeds will go towards getting my airplane off the ground in the time alotted.

How did this come to be? You have too many projects they say...
Well, my buddy Rod and I both LOVE Mustangs... Always have, and always will. The problem is that in our lifetime, there is little or no chance of us owning a real one. SO! Build your own dummy!

That's where this site comes in. It will chronicle my design efforts (more like a redesign effort) as well as the building process for not one, but two of these 3/4 scale - 600hp monsters.

More info to come.

Powder Coating Services
If you need parts powder coated, drop me an email and we'll work something out. I can do almost any color (there are 100 or so to choose from inlcuding chromes and candies). I'm working on setting up a part-time powder coating operation and a website to go with it, but for now an email will have to do!

Latest News
03/13/2006 - Yea, I've been working on the design for a while now in my spare time (not much there). I can say this... The airplane will be all aluminum construction with fiberglass fairings where the sheetmetal would get tricky. Stay tuned as I plan on putting up some preliminary design stuff soon!

01/16/2006 - Starting to get the site up to snuff... There is a lot of work to be done and I need a good place to record it all.
