STRATEGIC ALLIANCE WITH PREMIER PANEL BUILDER
As a pilot and owner, your connection with your aircraft is paramount. It is built on a foundation of trust in the machine’s design, the quality of its construction, and the support that stands behind it. That is why we are proud to announce a landmark partnership that directly enhances the ownership experience for every member of the SW-51 MUSTANG family, both present and future.
We have joined forces with Midwest Panel Builders, one of general aviation’s most trusted avionics specialists. This collaboration brings the meticulous, world-class craftsmanship of their team directly into your SW-51 MUSTANG, resulting in a new standard of quality, reliability, and peace of mind. For you, the pilot, this means your aircraft’s entire avionics and wiring system will now be delivered as a fully tested, pre-calibrated, plug-and-play module. This innovation, born from proven principles in automotive production, ensures that the complex heart of your aircraft is not just assembled, but perfected by experts before it even reaches the airframe.
This partnership delivers tangible benefits that you will appreciate on every flight. Your SW-51’s advanced Garmin G3X panel is now complemented by an even more intuitive safety system, featuring a dedicated master caution/warning panel for immediate, clear alerts. Furthermore, an intelligent ‘No Gear’ audio warning synthesizes flight data to actively prevent a wheels-up landing, protecting you and your investment. For our owners in the United States, this alliance provides an invaluable asset: direct access to Midwest Panel Builders’ renowned US-based team for experienced guidance, troubleshooting, and unparalleled technical support. This ensures that you spend less time on the ground and more time where you belong… confidently enjoying the legacy of the MUSTANG in the skies.
