Titan Aircraft President John Williams brought their T-51 partial-scale P-51 Mustang Experimental to the 2021 DeLand Aviation Showcase to catch up on their Tornado and T-51 variants. The T-51B is a light sport capable, fixed-gear version of the T-51D, the retractable, standard kit configuration. Either aircraft can be fitted with a series of engines, ranging from the 100 hp Rotax 912S, a 245 hp Honda V6, a 300 hp GM LS3 V8, or the top of the line BMW V-12 in the works.
With a gamut of options for supercharging, fairings, powder coating, extended gear, drop tanks, and props, the T-51 is a strong contender for those lusting after vintage Mustangs without the seven-figure price tag. The base kits are available from $65,000 with modular and fast build options available for the ~1600 hour process.
The result (based on what we’ve seen)? Priceless.
