Please Note: This is an archived post. The information presented here may not be current and the associated listing may no longer be active.

A Fighter Escort Wings (FEW) 2/3 scale TF-51D Mustang project has been spotted for sale. The listing states (in part):

For sale here is a year 2000 completed F.E.W. TF-51d, 2/3rds scale with the Chevrolet ZZ3, 350 cu.in. Engine and mt composite blade 4 blade prop!… This aircraft has only 85 hours since brand new! There is now a fist sized hole in the aluminum valve cover and a smaller hole in the left aluminum head… The cause of the hole in the head is in question: the reports say a valve stuck, causing the hot spot that burned through the aluminum head and then the valve cover, but other sources blame an exhaust leak, directed at this area from the outside as the cause. Regardless, the result was smoke in the cockpit and possibly flame, so the pilot wisely decided to end the flight immediately, off airport! Sold with technical logs for engine, prop and airframe since new, plus the journey log. And 2 boxes of supporting paperwork, including the assembly manual! And the Canadian bill of sale!… The fuselage is mounted to a cradle to support the engine and this is included. The 1 piece wing is 26’ long and manageable.

The aircraft is located in Minneapolis, Minnesota and is currently available for US $59,950, although offers are also being accepted. Click here to check out the eBay listing, which includes many additional photos and details.
