Just to get my two cents in. Jerry Frey from RFA flew successful his P-51
around here for 3-4 yrs. and he also had the cross tube support installed in
his plane. It made it much easier to push in and out of the hanger. One hand
on the rod and the other on the stab. Worked real well. Lastly NA did
install that tube mainly for crating to go over on ships. I have pictures that
show fuses in crates. Question. I'm using Usher fuel caps and adaptors. The
adaptor protudes about 3/8" beyond inner skin. Should this be floxed radius
or is there another adaptor that slides over the inside?

The tube through the fuselage may have been used for a variety of functions, but
the primary one was the elevation and fixing of the fuselage while boresighting
the guns. I know, because I flew them and watched the procedure. Ken Melvin,

Ken,
With your "real" Mustang experience, I look forward to having you fly the
prototype TF and give us all your opinion! Maybe we could get a magazine article
written around the occasion. (I hope it won't be compared to riding a
"Shetland Pony" as one of my T-28 buddies has a habit of joking to me. Come to
think
of it, he doesn't fly his "real warbird" much anymore due to the price of fuel
these days)

I would dearly love to fly the prototype when it is ready, and I am sure that the
Portland contingent will fly down to Camarillo to share in the fun! A good
article in the aviation press, with in-flight photos of two or three FEW Mustangs
in formation, and a show and tell account of your PSRU, should get things
moving again. All of which raises the question of insurance. How have those who
are flying FEW P51's currently managed to obtain coverage, and at what cost?
Your tiedown mod is important, particularly in light of Dennis Turner's setback
when he tipped his TF on its nose during a full power run-up.
