The Mustang Aeronautics Mustang II is a two-seat aerobatic sports airplane developed and marketed in the United States for homebuilding.[1][2][3]

Design and development

Robert Bushby acquired the rights to the Long Midget Mustang in 1959 and four years later began development of a two-seat, side-by-side version. This eventually flew in 1966 and plans were made available soon thereafter.[4] Rights to both the Midget Mustang and the Mustang II were sold to Mustang Aeronautics in 1992. [5] A single engine in tractor configuration airplane, the Mustang II features cantilever low-wing, two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit under a bubble canopy, fixed conventional landing gear, or, optionally, tricycle landing gear.[2][3]

The aircraft is made from riveted sheet aluminum with a rounded turtle deck and flat sides and bottom skins.[6] Its Script error: No such module "convert". span wing employs a NACA 64A212 airfoil at the wing root, transitioning to a NACA 64A210 at the wingtip.
