The P-51 Mustang is one of the world's most
popular WWII warbirds and was arguably the best American fighter
of the war. Leading Edge Gliders offers three versions
of the aircraft: the P-51B with a "razorback" canopy, the P-51D
with a "bubble" canopy, or the "Reno Racer" with a teardrop canopy.
All LEG Mustangs feature fiberglass-like performance combined
with the durability of EPP foam.
