Much of my ice experience is on descent and landings via approach. Vis a vi much slower.   Holy Crapola I want to fly the Ice Man's after he buys one..........

I just took the seaplane for an alternator change and this thing was sitting in the hangar on a shipping pallet. Just arrived from New Zealand. Airline captain (ret) bought it. Looks pretty cool.

What an awesome looking airplane. Hi Michael- If you don’t like the Falconer engine, you can buy a turbine Thunder Mustang. https://www.hitchcockaviation.com/shop/ ... g-turbine/Regards, Bob

A large percentage of TMs have bit the bullet since they came out.
Guy I knew flew a demonstrator into a mountain covered in clouds with an interested party in the back seat.
Even the Guru, John Parker, finally lost his life in his 2nd TM not to long ago when it flipped over during roll out of an emergency landing. And He had many emergency landings. His 1st one was lost when a hot brake ignited brush during an emergency landing that he managed to roll off the runway during.
As much as I love the P-51 these never warmed me.
I believe there are a couple with Turbo Props in them.
I wish these guys much luck with their project.
