Fred,

The investigation into Harry's accident has not revealed anything conclusive. I wish they had more but did not last time I spoke with the NTSB. 

What kind of p51 replica-- Thunder mustang?

Was any investigation conducted in the accident that killed Harry League and  his  check pilot, and any definitive cause identified? We need to get some lessons from these tragic accidents. 
 
I just lost a friend today in an 80% scale P-51 with a 530 HP Chevy engine.  It appears the gearbox, which was problematic, failed on take off.  There having been numerous fatalities with automotive engine conversions, we can derive lessons from that approach.   We have got to get accident cause so we can take away some lessons.
