    When I bought the WoP Bomber pack years back I always looked for this plane to fly as part of my training I wanted to follow like they did in that era. Looking good Tim can't wait.

    Great to see you back in business!

    That PT-19 was the aircraft I dreamed of becoming my first R/C airplane! They offered a 1.6m version in Blue/Yellow, looked pretty good.... Never had one anyway, this looks like a good chance for a nice flight in sim!

    Remember the old Cox Pt-19 control line aircraft?

    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.
