Hi Dick, Congratulations on you Bronze Lindy. I 'm dying to know what you think of the MT prop. Is it worth the extra complexity and cost? Is there much...
Hello Gary ???????????????? The MT prop is smoother than the metal two blade. The prop I have is from a DA 40 diamond aircraft which is a slower aircraft. I...
Gary and Dick, I have an MT 3-blade on my Midget Mustang and the top end ended up about the same. But, as Dick said, the take-offs and climb outs are something...
Hi Marc, Suggest you wait for Dick's answer on your question. I asked Dick if my O-320 Lycoming (160 hp) would be acceptable as a powerplant for the Nexus....
Mike, I think you meant, "probably require some lead in the nose", didn't you? Why would a lighter engine on the front of the plane require weight to be added...
Dick's figures say 1700 feet per minute rate of climb with 180 horsepower at a gross weight of 1700 pounds. Of course you won't be getting 180HP in the climb...

There is a couple of adds on the internet which state a Nexus Mustang is for sale. I do not know these people. I will possibly sell Nexus #1 as I need the...
Hello! Just came across the nexus on the web, and I am very impressed by this aircraft. I have been looking in to lots of different kits for a first project...
My opinion only here.  If you want a higher VNE, simple flutter testing to establish it is all you need to do. The controls are all balanced on the Nexus,...
HELLO MR. EAVES, I STILL ENJOY LOOKING AT YOUR SECOND AIRPLANE....WHAT A BEAUTY! CAN YOU GIVE ME A PRICE ON YOUR FIBER GLASS FAIRINGS FOR YOUR TAIL AND FOR...
Thanks for your input, Kirk! So, the VNE can be adjusted without to much effort. Allowable loadfactors is a different story, so is the airframe able to handle ...
Hi Chris, I , since the first purchase of the plans 2 years ago, want a rotary engine. An option for a rotary engine is Mistral 200, 230, 300 and 360HP would...
Hello Dick I've been following Nexus for a long while, and am pleased to see the design has really 'hit the spot' with many people. While you have built two...
Marc, The Light Aircraft Association has given the Nexus Mustang Project a build book which requires about 10 inspections during the build, which is the same ...
Hello Mark ?Your engine could be OK . It would depend on your airport what kind and length ot the runway. Nexus is a moderate to high wing loading and requires...
I'll be flying out of Livermore (LVK) : 5000' + , 400' ASL. With your comments in mind, I should probably not to fly in to (more specifically 'out of')...
Does anyone have any pics of inside the prototype(s) cowling ? Particularly interested to see Dicks sidedraft carb sump-mounted carb installation. Thanks !...
