Auto Credit Based on HuskyDynamics01's North American P-51XR Mustang Race 38 "Precious Metal"
"The stock P-51 that (used to) come in the game." -PhilipTarpley
Tis one was a bit of a stretch, but because of the shape of the cockpit and tail, the only varient of the P-51 I found This to resemble is the P-51XR, a Hybrid racing plane typically consisting of a Rolls Royce griffon driving counterrotating propellers, and jet wing and tail. as such i have combined this one with the wings and tail of an F-86E Saber with all the fixings.
Same controls as the Stock Mustang, take off at 12% throttle
Fuselage came from HuskyDynamics01

@PrussianAirlines So it's inspired by "Miss Ashley II", which was a P-51 fuselage mated to a Learjet 23 flight surfaces, but retained the P-51s vertical tail, albeit coming off an H model. This caused the tail to fail at pylon 1 of the reno race course in 1997, causing the plane to break apart. I hypothesize that had someone used an F-86s wings and tail including the vertical stab, it'd make a fast and sturdy race plane.
That looks....questionable. (pretty cool plane btw)
