The SW-51 Mustang – the innovative legend !

Never before has an historical aircraft been successfully recreated as a light, ultralight and

experimental aircraft in such detail.

The ScaleWings SW-51 Mustang is an absolute true-to-original replica of the legendary North

American P-51 Mustang built to a scale of 70%. The precise contours of the aircraft and the exact

reproduction of the surface structures make the SW-51 Mustang so compelling. Thousands of details

of the original P-51, such as rivets, screws, metal sheet joints and surface details of the original can

be found on the SW-51 Mustang.

In order to be able to

replicate the same

true-to-the-original

surface over and

over again,

ScaleWings has

developed a new

manufacturing

technology. The SW-

51 Mustang is

manufactured in an

intricate but

extremely strong

carbon fibre

honeycomb sandwich

construction. This

guarantees minimal

weight together with

maximum strength.

Flight tests

The SW-51 completed the first part of the flight test in September 2014 with very good results.

Test pilot Thomas Kreimeier attested to the excellent flight characteristics of the sw51 Mustang.

Captain Thomas Kreimeier – (Test Pilot):

“I had a very good feeling with the Mustang right from the start. The aircraft is comfortable to fly,

stable but shows at the same and exceptional responsiveness, similar to the Comet S2. Both the take-

off and landing do not require any specific demands to on the pilot.”


Cockpit panels

Front cockpit panel

The following picture shows the fully equipped front cockpit panel. It is equipped and designed to suit

our customers individual wishes. With regard to navigation, there are tablet solutions as well as

complete packages for Garmin, Dynon and Flybox-Oblo including the associated autopilot equipment

available.

Rear cockpit panel

The rear cockpit panel is equipped and designed to suit our customers individual wishes.

Tablet solutions

Due to the popularity of tablet computers in the cockpit, ScaleWings offers tablet solutions for iPad

mini 4 and Samsung Tab S2 8”. These holders fit the tablets harmoniously into the panel. The tablet

holders include ventilation and heating to keep the tablets within their operational temperature range.

The tablets can be taken out at the push of a button and taken home for flight planning. The standard

side pocket of the SW-51 has place for a second tablet which eliminates the need to carry paper-

based documents.


FLINOS - Flight Information and Operating System

The FLINOS is the central module for the control of the retractable landing gear, the landing gear

doors and the flaps of the SW-51 Mustang. The FLINOS display also informs about the position of the

trim rudder for ailerons, elevators and rudders.

The main control functions are performed by individual high safety modules.

FLINOS – standard control panel

Left: Flaps

Tipping the selector switch up or down selects the next flaps position. The actual position of the flaps

is indicated through the four LEDs.

Center: LED trim tab position indicators for the three-axis trim.

Right: Landing gear control

Tipping the selector switch up or down actuates the landing gear drive. A control logic operates

landing gear and landing gear door drives and their sequential order.

For additional comfort, the FLINOS can be upgraded with an optional Linux controller board and

software modules which can be purchased separately installed.

FLINOS Linux control panel

As an extension of the FLINOS basic version the Linux computer offers the pilot a whole range of

modules to choose from:

- monitoring of landing gear, landing gear doors, flaps - monitoring of wing connections - fuel and energy monitoring (incl. sensors and wiring) - engine monitoring (incl. EGT & CHT sensors and wiring)

The FLINOS Linux control panel offers a color display. Depending on the installed software modules,

the pilot can select from a variety of information, such as trim tab positions, engine data, etc.

The FLINOS Linux control panel allows to install a second FLINOS control panel in the rear pilot's seat

which replicates all functions and information from the main FLINOS Linux control panel.


FLINOS – control unit

The FLINOS control unit is the core of FLINOS. It operates the FLINOS control panels. Located in the

center console, it is the terminal for all prefabricated and tested wiring harnesses which are connected

to the control unit by screwed connectors. The multiple cable connections are made by electronic

boards of highest quality which eliminates manual wiring in the fuselage. The FLINOS control unit also

houses all circuit breakers.

The Linux computer multiplies the options as the computer unit handles all communication protocols

(Ethernet, CanBUS, CANAerospace, Video, Audio, etc.) and opens all doors for future developments.

The FLINOS is a joint development of ScaleWings and a well-known company in the field of safety

electronics. It goes without saying that all components are subject to strict safety tests.

"FLINOS" is a registered trademark of the ScaleWings group of companies.


Retractable landing gear

Main landing gear

Landing gear leg

The SW-51 Mustang is equipped as a

standard with a sturdy retractable

landing gear. The landing gear legs are

made of high-strength steel and

equipped with gas-spring shock

absorbers with a travel of 200 mm (8

in.) which take over both, suspension

and damping. This results in a

progressive suspension at the end

position range and at the same time

provides damping already from the first

millimeter of deflection.

Wheel

The SW-51 Mustang wheel consists of a two rim halves made

of high-strength aluminum which replicates the original. In

combination with the aviation tire (19.5 x 8 ") it looks

deceptively similar to the original tire of the P-51.

Brakes

The SW-51 is equipped with Beringer® high-quality disc

brakes. By default the SW-51 is equipped with toe brakes for

the pilot seat only. Toe brakes for the rear seat are available.

Optionally a differential hand brake can be selected for both

seats.

Function: At a defined deflection of the rudder the brake in the

outside of the turn is released. In conjunction with the

unlockable tail wheel the plane can be rotated on the spot.

Landing gear drive

The new landing gear drive enables the locking of the landing gear both retracted and extended

without locking lever or locking pin. This guarantees an accurate long-lasting locking without any

jamming.

In case of a mechanical or electrical failure the integrated emergency extension system triggered from

the pilot seat ensures the unlocking, extension and locking of the landing gear.

Main gear doors

A slightly modified drive is used for the operation of the inner main landing gear doors keeping the

advantages of the main landing gear drive.

Tail gear

The tail gear is a lightweight steel construction using the slightly modified electric drive from the main

landing gear.

The tailwheel is connected to the rudder and can be decoupled to turn the SW-51 Mustang on the

spot. It can be rotated around 360° which eases hangaring.

The tailwheel landing gear doors are driven from the tail wheel drive.


Flaps

The four-part flaps are driven through threaded spindles by one electric motor via a single tooth belt.

As a result, the exact same landing flap movement is reliably guaranteed on both sides of the wing.

Trim

Electric trim on all controls is a standard feature. The aileron and elevator trim tabs are operated each

by a separate trim motor. In case of a malfunction of one trim motor the runaway can be

compensated by the second.

Aileron and elevator trim is controlled by a four way hat switch on the stick grip. Rudder trim by a

rocker switch at the front side of the throttle grip.

Easy removable outer wings

The outer wings (disconnecting line outside the landing gear) can be easily removed. One person only

needs five minutes to attach or detach the outer wings with all connections (wing locks, aileron and

flap connection, electrical connections, pitot tube hose, fuel lines from outer to center wing)

connecting or disconnecting using a single lever.

The optional FLINOS Linux pack monitors all connections electronically (wing locks, aileron and flap

connection, electrical connections, pitot tube hose, fuel lines from outer to center wing).

Outer wings removed, the SW-51 Mustang only needs 280 x 690 cm (9 x 23 ft.) hangar space.

GALAXY parachute rescue system

All SW-51 Mustang versions are prepared for the installation of ballistic rescue system. ScaleWings

relies on GALAXY® which has years of experience. GALAXY has customized the parachute pack to fit

into the SW-51 fuselage.

In case of emergency, the parachute can be triggered from both seats. Within only a few seconds, the

aircraft and its crew glide safely back to earth on a parachute.


Carbon – Kevlar – safety fuselage shell

The safety of our customers is of paramount importance for ScaleWings. Therefore the cockpit section

of SW-51 Mustang fuselageis equipped with an inner safety shell made of carbon/Kevlar-fibre. This

safety shell enhances in the same time the strength of the fuselage..

The above picture shows the

laminated carbon-Kevlar shell

before vacuum compression.

The safety shell enhances the

historic metal look in the cockpit.

Seats and pedal

adjustment

The carbon-Kevlar seats combine high stability with low weight and splinter protection for pilot and

passenger. The seats can be moved 120 mm forward up and backwards down and ensure a

comfortable seating position for any pilot.

The rudder pedals are also adjustable (+/- 80 mm).

This adjustment combination allows for an ergonomic seating for pilots between 160 and 200 cm (5 ft

3 in. and 6 ft 7 in.).

The optional electric seat adjustment allows an easy seat adjustment at any time even during flight.

The seats can be raised by the optional seat lift which raises the seat by 200 mm and offers even

more entry and exit comfort.


Dual stick control

Dual control comes as a standard and allows the SW-51 to be piloted from the both seats. (Attention:

only with a pilot in the front seat!).

As a standard the rear cockpit is equipped with a minimal instrumentation.

Optionally, the rear cockpit can get a full instrumentation and the FLINOS.

Fuel tanks

Aerobatic main fuel tanks

The two 50 liter (13 USGal) Kevlar safety tanks located in the center wing, are easy to remove for

maintenance. By default, these tanks are designed for aerobatics and reliably provide the engine with

fuel in all flight attitudes.

Auxiliary tanks

The outer wings can be equipped with auxiliary tanks. These are membrane tanks installed in front

and the rear side of the main spar. Fuel transfer from the outer wing tanks to the main center wing

tanks is done through electric pumps.

Fuel gauges

Four fuel gauges indicate the fuel level. The fuel transfer switch is placed next to the gauges. Pushing

the button initiates and stops the fuel transfer. The fuel transfer is automatically stopped when the

main tanks are full or if the outer wing tanks are empty.

ScaleWings AcroOil aerobatic oil supply system

ScaleWings has developed a novel aerobatic oil supply system (AcroOil) which reliably supplies the

engine with oil in all flight attitudes. This patented aerobatic oil supply system integrates not only the

maintenance free and reliable oil routing but guarantees that not oil escapes into the environment

during aerobatics.

Silencer and exhaust system

The engine packages also include the silencer and the sixfold exhaust pipes made of stainless steel on

each side of the aircraft.

Cabin ventilation and heating

The fresh air is taken at the front air inlet behind the propeller. Two vents in the instrument panels

and one in the center console assure good aeration of the cockpit. Additional vents in the windshield

frame prevent the windshield from fogging.

Cabin heating is provided through heat exchangers around the silencer but for safety reasons, the hot

air duct is not directly connected to the silencer wall.

Hot and cold air can be controlled separately through to buttons in the center console.


Standard and additional equipment

Please consult the attached Equipment & Option List.

Canopy

For taxiing the canopy can be slided 45 cm backwards. In the rear position the canopy can be

swiveled to the right side for a comfortable entry and exit.

By pressing the emergency release, the canopy is jettisoned rearwards.

Paint and aluminium look

The ready-to-fly ultralight version of the SW-51 will be painted to customer requirements WITHOUT

extra charge. Giving your Mustang a unique appearance.

An optional look of polished aluminium is available. It is permanently protected and needs no

polishing.

We can also give

your Mustang a

weathering effect

(artificial aging) in

the intensity you

wish.

Historic maintenance

and service labels

are available as an

option.

We offer to realize

this special surface

treatment for your

Experimental

Mustang in our plant

in Krosno.


Luggage compartments

The SW-51 Mustang has wo luggage compartments. One in the front (between firewall and cockpit)

and one in the rear (behind the rear seat). To load bulky items (e.g. golf bag, skis) the rear seat can

be folded forward or removed completely. Both luggage compartments are equipped with lashing eyes

to secure items.

Both control sticks are removable. Removing the rear seat and the rear stick enlarges the space to a

“sleeping place on tour.”

Worldwide container transport

The SW-51 Mustang was developed for the international market. Therefore, ScaleWings offers a

transport frame for safe accommodation in containers or on trucks or trailers. This allows the SW-51

Mustang to be delivered to virtually anywhere in the world at low cost, almost ready to fly.

Once arrived at the destination, the SW-51 is swiveled from the 45° position on the transport frame to

the horizontal position. The landing gear extracted, the SW-51 can be rolled from the transport frame.

Mounting the propeller and the outer wings attached you only need fuel to take-off.

It is just as easy to ship the Mustang (e.g. for painting or completion and repair work) to our plant in

Krosno.

Maintenance

Minimal maintenance was one of the development goals for the SW-51 Mustang. This has been

achieved, except the engine maintenance.

The SW-51 maintenance manual is essentially just an inspection manual.


Production

The set-up of our own production for the SW-51 Mustang and future aircraft is the consistent

continuation of our safety and quality standards. Professionals with many years of experience

guarantees consistent high quality.

For Scalewings precision work is self

evident.

The SW-51 Mustang is built entirely

from high-quality carbon fiber, aviation-

certified resins and sandwich materials.

Experience, teamwork and craftsmanship

distinguish the ScaleWings team in our

production in Krosno.


Load tests

Using carbon fiber for both the shells and the entire structure in a special technology realizes a very

favorable weight-to-strength ratio thus enabling a higher payload.

In 2014, the SW-51 has successfully completed the load tests for ultralight aircraft – with impressive

results – as shown in the following picture. By far above the requirements.

Safety of its customers is paramount for ScaleWings. Therefore, not effort was spared to offer our

customers the highest safety standard.

The new software

controlled hydraulic

test rig at our location

Krosno enables

ScaleWings to perform

comprehensive load

tests, both for the

1,200 kg (2,646 lb) kit

version and the 600 kg

(1,323 lb) ultralight

version. 40 load

introduction points

connect the aircraft to

the test rig and will

allow CS 23 conform static and dynamic load tests.

ScaleWings AeroTrailer

The ScaleWings AeroTrailer, equipped

with its special loading mechanism

makes the SW-51 Mustang road

transportable and at the same time it is a

mobile hangar for your plane.

For details please consult the section

AeroTrailer.


ScaleWings MobileHangar – an innovative hangar solution

In addition, Scalewings offers the

MobilHangar, an easy to assemble

and disassemble light hangar in

four sizes. Looking like a tent it is
