Halt! Before you fly that expensive payware warbird....

Hurray! I admire you guys that put so much time into building these airplanes. I'm in awe, seriously. I also must admit that this one is completely unknown to me. I've had to hit wikipedia to read up on this trainer! I've never heard of it before.
 
A very nice choice Tim, but perhaps the best news is the fact you are still in business!

Thanks for making this a good day!

I thought I had never heard of it either; until I realised it was a close relative of the PT-26 Cornell which was flown by the Royal Canadian Air Force.

Hey Tim, I am going to go to Travis AFB probably on Thursday. There is a PT-19 in the museum there, I can swing by the museum and get some exterior shots if you need them. Can't get any of the panel or cockpits as they are covered.

Any chance for a PT-26 as well ?

That's a big iffy. Alot more than just adding a canopy. New panels, controls, lights, etc.
Yes I remember the Cox .049 line trainer! Got the Cox Stuka for Xmas on year, promptly crashed it. Then my older brother thought a "trainer" would be a better plane for me.
Well I,uh, you know how this story will end...
 
Thank you, thankyou, thank you, Tim.

Heck, I still have a Cox PT-19 up in my room. Unfortunately, it's missing the fin/rudder assy. Engine still turns over, even.
 
Boy, does that bring back memories. I can remember having the gas powered model that was held together with rubber bands. Crashed it many many times lol.

I still have my Dad's McCoy 49's a "Red-Head" Olson & Rice and one HUGE engine.. I remember that it developed a full one-quarter horsepower..
My one attempt at Control-Line (back in '58) was a P-40 "Flying Tiger".. Plastic, in-a-box, assembled with a "Ba-Be" .049 inverted engine.. I made almost half a circle before it went into the pavement... at a 45 degree angle.. Just enough to tear the head off the engine!

You may wanna log some training hours first...
You all know what it is...

Piglet;
Are you building the entire plane? Or just doing a Paint?
The one FSX PT-19 I found (in the Flightsim.com library) is just the FS9 version that was half-fast ported-over.
Since my Dad started out in the PT-19 (courtesy of the Army Air Corps 1941), I'd like to obtain a native FSX version with proper Flight Dynamics to replicate his hours in.. Blue & Yellow, of course ;-}

Piglet models the complete airplane.
 
When Piglet releases the PT-19, the number of planes I have added in to FSX will climb to, maybe, 7. Will definitely fly this bird in FSX.

I had that Stuka too when I was 11 (for passing the 11 plus exam). I was flying on the local field and lost my balance and let go. I remember seeing the aircraft spiralling up to a few hundred feet when the motor cut....never did find it:redf:
