I've flown several Mustang II's & owned/worked on a Mustang II project & helped with wing construction on another. A well built M-II flies a lot like an RV & can be a bit faster. The primary reason there are so few flying is that the plane was 1st introduced as plans-only, then as a very rudimentary kit of parts. Flying quality of M-II's is all over the place due to variations in build quality, particularly the leading edge of the wing, which is much sharper than an RV's & very hard to form accurately in a home shop. I'd own a well built one in a heartbeat, but I chose to sell the M-II project I owned to build an RV-7 because of kit quality, support, resale value, build time, etc. If you want to know more, we can talk at Shady Bend.
