Hello again
Well it was year ago yesterday that I got bit by a prop on my left thumb. All is well with the thumb, only slight numbness in the skin near the knuckle. Anyway be careful around those spinning props!!! On another note, I have been buildling a PT 19 Dynaflite kit. My first kist build.. Fuselage is done. Just started laying out the wings.

You have a potential fantastic flying model there. I used to have one. I loved flying the model (balanced well at 26% of MAC). Mine was used for Scale Warbird Racing, and powered by a MVS .40. It lost its appeal ( ) when it mated with another machine during a tight turn around the pylon. I was a tad loose on the turn and the next machine was tighter catching me at midship. Far too much destroyed to bother rebuild.
Good luck with your project.

RE: Hello again
Thanks all.
Yeah nothing but a few scars on the thumb. I was darn lucky!!!!!! This is my 2nd dynaflite PT 19. Still have the fuse from the first one. I had thought my first one was a GP PT 19. Had the wrong CG. thus the demise of the wing (and poor pilot skills). I bought some extra balsa and I'm tracing the ribs for the wings as I go for this build. This way I can build a wing for the fuse I have and I'll have two dynaflite PT 19s, I'm doing this build in the Chiliean Air Force colors (orange and silver) and leave the one I have in US Army blue and yellow, will use coverite for the covering. Here's a pic from the one I have now. Fuse survived, wing is toast. Dynaflite doens't make the kit any more. Found one here in the classifieds this past Christmas.

Since I'm the shallow water guy, I figured I wouldn't need boots around here, but I guess I'm wrong...
