Cool pictures, thanks Jim!

Do you know if there is any difference in flying the K Aeroproducts prop than the other ones? Any limitations more strict or less strict?

Looks great, but don't let Vlado see the green gear doors...

Want to see a very happy son of a WWII P-51 pilot?

Can't say enough about the Horseman- they made this possible. Hard to express the emotions of sitting in the same cockpit that my father once sat in. Then to also see it fly!!

Congrats, very pleased for you. Kudos to the Horseman team for making it happen-well done gents.
Brian-have you managed to dig out any more of your father's photos. Not expecting anything in the short term-I guess you will be on 'Cloud 9' for a while yet :finga:

Has this thread had some of its early posts removed or deleted?

I thought it opened with some colour photos of the aircraft in its "new" identity and markings?

I also thought there were close ups of the panel under the cockpit which stimulated the debate about cherrymax rivets?

I also thought there was a photo of the data plate that then stimulated debate on its "newness"? originality and identity?

Is there a reason for the deletions?
