Homemade P-51 Mustang First Start In Years

3 Years Too Long

Jesse and Jimmy had a tough task ahead of them. Their goal that day was to start a homemade 2/3 scale P-51 Mustang for the first time in years.

The kit-built Mustang only has a six-cylinder, but it could still fly and “look cool” at the same time. It was all made out of plywood, though- with the instructions being bought for only $100, and took a total of 7 and a half years to build!

However, this impressive Mustang has been sitting in a hangar for 3 years already.

Fortunately, after applying a few fixes and giving it a few more tries, Jimmy was able to start the kit-built Mustang’s engine. You don’t want to miss out on this impressive engine start!
