Loose the ABS plastic cowl and get a fiberglass one from fiberglass specialties inc. Also Robart makes a nice set of struts to replace the wire landing gear.

What are you powering it with? I am using a US 41 CC engine and it is awesome! One of the most fun flying planes I have flown. You will enjoy it.

I havnt obtained a moter yet,I was thinking about a Super Tiger G-2300.
I havnt delved into the gas realm yet,but this would be the plane to do it with.

You need to not worry about price if you want one. Just finding one is tough. Put a wanted ad in the classifieds here, or watch the auctions here and ebay.

I just got one of these kits with fiberglass cowl and Robart struts. I will be using a gas engine, not sure what one yet.

Are there any do's or don'ts for this plane?

I also intend to add flaps.

Hi Steve,

I built one of these kits about seven years ago and I still enjoy flying it. The size makes it very easy to see on dull days. I powered mine with an old OS 108 and this provides ample power and scale like flying. This is one of the easiest landing models I have ever built, I don't think you will need flaps.

Cheers,

Colin

This is great!
I have a kit (probably will get to it in a year or so) so will be watching with interest!

Are you going for the standard colors or something less common e.g. South American or Norwegian?

smkrcflyer

Thanks Colin for the reply I have been looking for one of these for a few years. Maybe I will re-think the flaps.

EF I'm not sure what color it will be. I need to do some investigating.

Started scratch building this plane some time ago...
Attached is the color scheme am planning to use.
Will be placing an online order from robart for the struts
hope they have them in stock.

Hi Colin, and all. Just popped in here for a look-see, as I'm planning on building one later this year, although not Dynaflite. Have built gear for them for many years. I used to fly the real McCoy about 50 years ago, and your landing comment caught my eye. The real one was one of the best wheel-landing planes I ever flew. To make a really bad landing, you had to be head-up-and-locked!! But it took a good instructor to get you on the right path!

Also a pic of my model, which I'm currently refurbishing, and me "ON" a Breezy!! Much fun!!

At last,
This is the test flight...
Enjoy,

Your PT19 looks real nice.

What engine did you use?

Did you put flaps on it?

Hello friends get a big hello from me. I'm writing from Venezuela to give my opinion on this classic and great model such as the Fairchild PT 19 Dynaflite house. My English is not very good, so I use Google translator for this, and I thank you for understanding. It is an excellent kit, which offers us many satisfactions while it is joining, and then when flying. I built one of these and going for three years, and is still operating. I made some changes like adding flaps to give best appearance and scale model (this process has to be fully scracht, because it is stated in the plans), but not entirely necessary for flight. I chose a pattern corresponding to the Brazilian Air Force, to get out of ordinary models I've seen in pictures and in person. The same was wrapped Flat Finish Super Monokote which reduce him after something more brightness for better adhesion, the paint in acrylic paint with a few layers to save weight. The gasoline motorized by adding an Turnigy 26 cc. Although I recommend if you are having a full scale details, put a DLE 30 cc for better performance and extra power. As primary information base, take me by one of actual size, which is on display at the Aviation Museum of Maracay, Venezuela. Besides all that I could gather meaning through the Internet. The original coverages combined as aluminum parts, with canvas covering his lower half planes and fuselage. Thus, also very thin Use this material to achieve the same effect. Something that I find very uncomfortable is that the wing is fully integral, although I studied how to make it in two panels, fails to do so and follow the dimensioines the dihedral and soundness of the central part. Recommendations: strengthen bases end main landing trains. Since almost all we have one, we have broken root, when learning the way to fly it. Bend the wires slightly forward than trains, although slightly miss appearance, to avoid the tendency to leave own nose at the time of the takeoff roll. Putting on the cowl in fiberglass Fiberglass providing speciaties. The wheels I recommend, Dubro Treaded Lightweight Wheel from 4 to 4.5 inches. After the change of Robbart initially had placed him, because due to the original weight and acquired by the scale, the same tend to take a flat shape and difficult in part, the takeoff roll. Enjoy to assemble and fly this wonderful model which is hurt and lost genuine natural, they have discontinued the production.
Greetings to all.
