BONSALL MUSTANG MK2
The Bonsall Mustang II is a single-seat, monoplane design aircraft. The aircraft was originally built as the ‘Mk I’ by Mr D Bonsall who designed the aircraft by calculation and then drawn to the figures. The result was it looked like a Mustang so hence the name. It was called a replica in order not have a G reg. It first flew in 1991 as the Mk1; the aircraft operated in this form until 1998 but only flew 78 hours. It had since been rebuilt with modifications including the installation of a six cylinder Lycoming IO-540 engine to replace the four cylinder 0-360 originally fitted, larger fuel tanks, reinforced wing and tail surfaces, shortened ailerons, lengthened flaps, larger mainwheels, re-profiled tail surfaces and an increase in MTWA to 2920 lb. A retractable undercarriage and flaps were fitted to the aircraft. The aircraft first flew at the Mk2 in 2011 and since then has only flown 57 hours totalling 131 airframe hours.
