Carbon Fiber Full Size P51D
Blackjack,
Years ago, I ran across an airline pilot that was in the process of developing a full-sized carbon fiber P51D. I visited his shop in Gardena, California where I saw all thirteen(!) pieces of the airframe. It was designed for an Allison, Merlin or PW PT6. The turbine version used the radiator for a luggage compartment.
I lost track of thje guy and don't know if he completed the prototype.
