Congratulations. May you have many hours of enjoyment.

One question: From your empty mass and balance records, what weight is on the tailwheel in the flight attitude?

Can anyone tell me what the correct type designation and serial number is for this please> I saw the hex pinging on FR24 on Thursday with reg for the first time rather than the previous "MUSTANG" so have added it, but don't know if it's a Titan T-51D or P-51D as both are shown in online material. Also what is serial number and owner details or should it be "private owner" ? What manufacture year too?
