AGS in association with Murdo Cameron
of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho has agreed to sponsor the a "P-51"
in pylon air racing at the National
Championship Air Races in Reno, NV; and on a
world speed record attempt. The aircraft will be
equipped with an Allison V12 1710 piston engine
and we are currently seeking additional Allison
engines and parts for this project. The aircraft
is a full-scale 2-place P51 weighing only
5,000#!
The prototype aircraft was built entirely of composite
materials, and has approximately 70 hours of
flight time with a T-53 Lycoming turboprop
engine for testing purposes. A second P-51 is under construction.

Danny Mortensen raced at Reno for 14 years
and held several world speed records in the
AMSOIL Rutan Racer, another composite aircraft
which now hangs on display in the EAA Museum in Osh Kosh, WI.
Danny won the Gold in Reno in 1990 and one of
his aircraft, a Mong, won the following year
after his retirement from flying the pylons.
In
1999, two of his former aircraft, both Mongs, won 1st and 2nd
place. Mongs built by Danny have won 1st place seven times since
1990.
