THE X-P TALON

updated with video

 
 

The Talon is a very unique airplane. It was being developed as a high-powered sport aircraft with distinct features resembling the venerable P-51 Mustang, with a little Spitfire thrown in. It is not a copy or replica of any other warbird. It was being designed and built as a prototype by three aeronautical engineers with quick-build components  for the avid homebuilder in mind. It is all metal construction including all fairings, wingtips and tail-feather tips. Unfortunately, like other kit airplane start-ups, it never got off the ground, [pardon the pun].


I purchased the Talon with full intentions of finishing it,  flying it for a year or two, and then selling it. I have built and restored airplanes for the last 30 years and I figured that here is an opportunity to work, have some fun and then profit from my endeavors. Well, it has been a while now and it is near completion but my interest in flying it has gone by the wayside. I have decided to sell it as-is, or will finish and paint it for whomever is willing to step up to the plate and make it happen.


The Talon and I live at a residential airpark in Sisters Oregon. Call if you want to fly in and check it out in person.  Vern @ 541-549-9169
