      Design and development


      Robert Bushby acquired the rights to the Long Midget mustang" target="_blank">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. Rights to both the Midget mustang" target="_blank">Mustang and the mustang" target="_blank">Mustang II were sold to mustang" target="_blank">Mustang Aeronautics in 1992.
      A single engine in tractor configuration airplane, the mustang" target="_blank">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.
      The aircraft is made from riveted sheet aluminum with a rounded turtle deck and flat sides and bottom skins. Its 24.2 ft (7.4 m) span wing employs a NACA 64A212 airfoil at the wing root, transitioning to a NACA 64A210 at the wingtip. Standard engines used include the 150 to 160 hp (112 to 119 kW) Lycoming O-320, the 180 hp (134 kW) Lycoming O-360 and the fuel-injected 200 hp (149 kW) Lycoming IO-360 four-stroke powerplants. Standard fuel capacity is 25 US gallons, but optional wet wings increase the fuel capacity to 61 US gallons. Several other fuel tank options are available. A folding wing option may be installed.
