Since I'm in the gather ideas stage all of your pints are well taken. I know the nose, main gear position and inner doors are all critical areas to making a Mustang look right. The largest Mustang that I have built and flown was my Byron.

I could be wrong but I think Steeds Mustang was 92" so that size seems to be what I'm hearing would be good to work with. I have a set of Taylors plans and it looks very good.

The next question is what would be an ideal engine to use that could be enclosed in the cowl? Would this be an opportunity for another type of prop drive? Sort of sounds like re-inventing the wheel doesn't it. Finding the perfect Mustang is sort of like searching for the holy grail but for me part of the fun of this hobby is learning about the details and striving to recreate a piece of aviation art.

Thanks
