Midget Mustang




Midget Mustang













Also known as the Long Midget, the Midget Mustang is perhaps
the most admired and enduring homebuilt design ever. Even though
it was designed over 50 years ago it is still much in demand
because of its good looks, good handling characteristics, and
fighter like performance.



Designed by Piper chief engineer David Long as a Goodyear
Midget Racer it was intended to go into production as a post
WWII sport plane. The market never developed but because of the
plane's good looks and great flying qualities it has been very
popular with homebuilders. There have been 4 Midget Mustang Oshkosh
EAA Grand Champions.














The Midget Mustang's 9-G ultimate structural strength and
low power loading give a true high performance fully aerobatic
sport plane that can also be used for cross country flying. With
a 100hp Continental it will have a top speed close to 200mph
and can cruise over 175mph burning only 6gal/hr. The cabin size
will accommodate persons over 6ft tall. The new M-IA
bubble canopy creates room for pilots as tall as 6'4".
A baggage compartment behind the seat will hold up to 30lbs.






Maximum engine size is 160hp but at such a low power loading
we suggest this engine for experienced high performance taildragger
pilots only. The O-200 Continental is the most popular power
plant and it is more than enough for spectacular performance.
