I'll give you a hint. No it is not Merlin Powered, but it is a V-12.

That is what remains of an aircraft called Blue Thunder. She was a 3/4 scale P-51  powered by a 1300 HP V-12, turbo-supercharged of course, and weighed less then 3200 lbs at max gross weight. Her deck speeds exceed 430 mph.

She aboorted a takeoff on Thursday because of a failed airspeed indicator. The pilot hit the breaks, which heated up and faded away, and she ran off the runway coming to a stop undamaged.

The brakes being hot, caught the sage brush on fire, and she burned up- despite being completely undamaged.

What remains is the Engine, ECU and Propeller which remarkably were unharmed by the fire.

That instrument panel, was a Garmin GTX 340 audio control panel, Garmin 430 GPS, a King KY-196 radio, A Garmin GTX 320 transponder, and of course - the rocker switches below it.

Damage to the aircraft is okay with me. Damage to the pilot is what I was thinking of.;)
