Jeff Simon, founder of SocialFlight, and his two sons are building a Titan T-51D Mustang in their home, and are filming the entire project.

Simon said he hopes the video series gets more people interested in general aviation by taking them on the journey of building and eventually flying the aircraft.

The Titan T-51D Mustang is a three-quarter scale replica of the P-51D Mustang, has tandem seating for two, and is powered by a GM LS3 V8 Engine producing 310hp. Simon says he is six months into the build, and he expects it to take about two years.
