Bored? Sudoku, I do.


Update: Nov. 19, 2005

Gene is installing some inspection covers (sitting on the floor, under the plane) after his Airworthiness Inspection and we are just slowing him down with all the questions! The plane looks wonderful and Gene anticipates an effortless first flight. He is going down to the Titan Factory in Austinburg, OH for some transition training.

Gene has been working full-time on this project, I think he said he estimates 2,800 hours over the past 2 years.

First Flight report to be posted when received.

Gene is building a Titan T-51 a 3/4 scale replica P-51 Mustang. It is a retractable gear high performance aircraft with full cantilevered wing, and aluminum construction. Give Gene a call if you want more info.

These pictures are from the November 2004 meeting. The fuselage is coming together very nice! Gene says the next time he has a Builders Meeting it will be a "Polishing Party", I'll be there for that one too, will you?

 
 


These pictures are from our first visit to Gene's in January 2004.

The following info taken from Titan's website.

Titan Aircraft is proud to introduce the T-51, the newest addition to our family of light aircraft. The T-51 incorporates material and systems not commonly found in aircraft comparably priced. This, combined with Titan Aircraft’s renowned reputation for high quality products, superior aircraft performance, and outstanding customer support, is sure to provide the pilot and kit builder a very pleasurable experience.
The kit has an estimated build time of 600 hours and includes all required material, components and fasteners. The kit does not however include the engine, propeller and instruments because of different customer preferences. When equipped with the Rotax 912S engine, controllable propeller, and a full compliment of necessary flight instruments; we expect the finished T-51 to cost well under $50,000.00.
Titan Aircraft is providing a replica P-51 that combines friendly low speed handling characteristics with agility and high performance. The T-51 is rated at a +6g / -4g load limit capability at a gross weight of 1232 pounds. When operating with the 912S engine and landing gear retracted the estimated cruise speed is in excess of 150mph. The calculated stall speed in landing configuration is 39mph.
We invite inquiries. Please contact a member of our sales team at sales@titanaircraft.com. We look forward to speaking with you!
