This is a brand new full kit
model of the original Cox Pt-19 control line for use with a .049 Baby
Bee Engine which I designed from scratch based on my own Cox PT-19
plastic flyer.
I really missed flying those plastic Cox planes but I was not about to spend $200.00+ to relive that thrill.
So
in order to get that same experience, I designed a semi-clone of the
PT-19. This model is much lighter than the original so longer lines are
recommended (like 45'). The cost is a fraction of what the plastic
ones are selling for and if you crack it up, simple remake the parts
from locally sourced balsa.
Now everyone can enjoy that 'first flight' feeling of yesteryear without spending an arm and a leg for plastic!!!
Reports
are in and this not only give the C/L pilot that original feeling but
this model actually flies better than the original... loops and all (see
video of the very first maiden flight).
This
model is a semi-clone made from balsa wood and is perfect for those
interested in reliving their youth we all remember with the Cox plastic
PT-19.
The kit includes all necessary parts to
assemble the model and get it ready for flight. Get ready to take to
the skies with this exciting new model. You will need to furnish the
engine, control lines/handle and fuel-proof paint.
Although
this is a relatively simple model to build, and it can be completed in
one day, it is recommended that you have at least the basic model
building skills most scratch builders possess.
The Kit Includes:
- Left and Right halves of the main wing (with dihedral)
- Parts for build-up fuselage
- Rudder and Stabilizer
- Elevators
- Control Horn
- Aluminum bell crank (cox replica style)
- Control Rod
- Landing gear wire and wheels
- Lead out wires
- Full Plans
- Decals (that you must fuel-proof)
Basically
I made this kit to contain everything you need to build the model (glue
not included) except the engine and flight lines/handle.
It
is as close to the original plastic Cox PT-19 for a fraction of the
price. My intention was to make it affordable to everyone for the love
of the hobby. Others say I need to charge way more, but I believe for
what is included in the kit it is a fair price and will allow more
flyers to participate.
PLEASE NOTE: I
have extensive shipping time only because sometimes I run out of
material and it takes about a week to replenish. Normally I ship kits in
a matter of a few days (all are made to order). Also, the finished
plane in the picture is my own and is not being offered in this listing,
nor is the plastic Cox PT-19 also in the pictures.
This listing is for a kit you assemble. Since this is considered a custom item and is made to order, there are no returns.
