Two PT-60s. The blue/yellow one was my first kit. The white one was built by my brother.

I built this PT40 on June 2002. It is collecting dust in my garage waiting for my youngest son to decide when he wants to learn to fly.

Here's mine. The 40 was my first kit. The 60 I traded for a Browning 12 gauge without ever flying it. Still wish I'd kept it.

Two weeks ago I took it our of the wall and the engine was not turning. I applied some WD-40 aand ARO and it started to loose again. I am flying a Dazzler and a Giles-202 these days. Another problem is I have 14 more kits in the production queue. I think I am going to continue with an US-60 this fall/winter.

The PT series has been around that long, and has been changed very little (if any) since it was introduced.

It's a good flying, sturdy, design.

No need to fix a design that is not broken.
