Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / September 2005Twin P-51 Mustang (P-81?)
A few years ago at a field in Northern California I watched a guy fly a twin P-51 Mustang. It had two mustang bodies held side by side on a center mid wing. I never got to talk with him so don't know if it was something he built custom or a kit. Does anyone have any knowledge of this aircraft? Kit? Who makes it?

Dan Thompson It's either a P-82 of F-82; North American made both aircraft. Do a Google Images search for photos and three-views. The Late Col. Art Johnson flew R/C models of both; they flew great.

The only difference is that the plane was called a P-82 before 1947, and an F-82 after 1947. That's when the Air Force became its own separate armed force, and in true bureaucratic style, they redesignated everything...

I do remember they had nice things to say about it. >> World Models (distributed by Airborne Models) has a twin Mustang in .40 >> ARF form. http://www.airborne-models.com/ (Click on "shopping" then >> "warbirds"). >> I bought one for my hobby shop just a couple months ago. It looks like >> a great plane, except for the dorky pilots--that's easy to fix though. >> $329 +shipping. |
