Status: offline 		Finally got the PT 19 in the Air today. 10 mph cross wind, but it's a heavy plane no sweat!!! I had one of the instructors and the field check it all out prior to the flight. UP UP and away!! Flew beautifully!! Rolls were not pretty. hammer heads were cool. I didn't add any rudder input during the roll, need to do that next time. Anyway two flights and it was great. Only had to use just a tad of throttle prior to flairing for landing. I LOVE THIS HOBBY AND I LOVE THIS PLANE!!! Great trainer for war birds. NICE!!!!!!!! Gas is easy too. A couple flips of the prop and she was purring like a kitten. I also maidened my balsa nova 40. I'm running a 46 LA engine in it. It dd not like the wind at all!!! Only one flight with it. Need to recheck the CG I think. Also going to try a bigger prop on the PT 19. I turning a 16 X 7 on it now, going to try a 17 X 8, as it seems to need more torque. At any rate, a great day of flying. Heading to hobby store to buy a PA addiction 3d plane. A good day, Heck a GREAT DAY! No crashes!! GIANT scale is cool!! Yep still extremely addicted!!!!!

Status: online 		16x7 to 17x8 is quite a jump in props. And, the PT-19 is probably not particularly fast so the 8 pitch might be over pitched. To gain torque, at the speeds of that plane, a 6 pitch might be more suitable. What engine and rpms on the 16x7? Also, PT-19s are often floaters but do have a lot of drag so that when there is headwind they often require power on landings to produce a good glide slope but when they are landing into no headwind the glide slope is really shallow and would be made even shallower by more pitch.

One of those things I should've checked though. It did not want to do a good roll with just ailerons. Porbably should've used some rudder and more power.

I Like jacks, and I need a kit. Hard landing a few weeks again and my wing is toast!! Did find a guy selling a dynaflite kit for 330.00. my fuse was undamaged from the crash.
