P-51D Parts Catalog

Thu Sep 23, 2010 12:19 pm

Does anyone know of a good place to get a repro copy of the P-51D Parts Catalog, the -4, and the maintenance and erection, the -2?

New project? :wink:

Thanks.

ME109me109,

I have both paper (Xerox copies from my original manuals), and digital P-51 manuals.
I have also written a P-51 series parts interchange manual (took 2 years to enter all of the data).

I use the digital manuals to help locate parts for the 1:1 scale, P-51 flight simulator I am building.

I noticed on your signiture, you have an L-5 (or fly one).
I have 3, L-5 projects to rebuild.
Currently working on editing an L-5 series Parts interchange manual.

Email me for more info.

Laterrrrr

Taylor: Try Essco or one of the other manual places. I know a couple of people that have copies in their personal shop collections, but the time and effort to copy and/or scan them makes the commercial places much more cost effective.

Thanks, Craig. Just ordered them 8) You know you have a problem when your favorite books are tech manuals...
