SSC P51 Profile Warbird

by Mark LaBoyteaux

 

 

After being inspired by watching Lee Liddle fly his P39 Aircobra SSC warbird, I knew I had to have one. I began curiously bombarding Lee with questions about how he did this, how he did that. I began to think how easy it would be to build a Mustang using a lot of the ideas Lee was using. The thing about Lee is, he will tell you everything you ask for, and more! Talk about open source! So one day I'm asking him about using bladders and he gives me an impromptu lesson on how to make a bladder as well as enough material to fabricate several bladders! That was it, I now had enough knowledge to try my hand at creating the plane I wanted. Well, following Lee's example, I decided the best way to help promote warbirds for SSC would be to share what I did with other flyers. Hopefully, you'll see something here that will inspire you to create your own warbird and you'll come out and fly with us!
