The September issue of Custom Planes has two great articles on the W.A.R P-51 owned by Mike Carrelli, Sr of Ashville, North Carolina. Mike was kind enough to send me the above photo. It is great to see a W.A.R. P-51 flying. Outstanding Mike!
The September issue of Custom Planes has the above photo of Mike's P-51. It is a Honda Prelude engine rated as 120 Hp. at the prop hub. The prop drive was built by Ross Aero of Phoenix, AZ. In the photo you also see a Cessna 150 air filter fitted to the carb.
