I am releasing this plane as an unfinished model, for any one who would like to finish this model please include my name as original maker. All content was found on the Internet from various websites.

Brief history of this beautiful aircraft:
1987: P-51XR N6WJ Griffon engine racer created - showed at Reno '88.
Crashed at Reno -named "Precious Metal" like 44-73518.
Many thought N5483V was N6WJ, but just the tail section was used.
1995: P-51XR N6WJ returned to Reno, placed 1st in Silver.
Did not race for many years.
2000: sale to Ron Buccarelli.
2001: return to the Reno Air Races (races canceled after 9-11-01).

Installation: Unzip to Example: [C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes] folder.

This mustang was created for Flight Sim. X w/sp2 and the acceleration expansion pack.

I would like to thank every one from SimOuthouse, Simviation, Freeflight Design Shop, FlightSim.com, AVSIM, that help in the making of this airplane. I would also like to thank the Precious Metal Air Racing crew for keeping such an awesome aircraft flying.

Happy Racing!
Sincerely,
Bill Cook

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D add-on

  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.

    Most FSX add-ons go into one of: SimObjects\Airplanes\, Addon Scenery\, Effects\, or Gauges\.

  3. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
Still stuck? The readme included with the file is the authoritative source for this specific mod. Visit our Flight School tutorials or ask in our Q&A forum.
