Chris, Congrats on a successful maiden flight !
I have followed your Bird Dog thread for awhile as I have been doing a kit bash to also create a semi scale L-19. Your photos and build completion information have aided me in the bash. I started with a non L-19 high wing ARF and proceeded to modify it till it looks like a Bird Dog. Mine has a 54" wingspan and is powered with an O.S. .26 four stroke glow engine. I chose to finished mine as a white with red trim U.S. Air Force military version. The last of the paint and details got finished two days ago and I have yet to taxi test or fly it. May be next weekend. Thanks for sharing your L-19 adventure as it informs and inspires others. Cheers
