My kids got me a new versionPT-19 from C*x for my birthday. I wanted it to take to the field to suck in the kids that show up. So far, 7 kids, 2 wives (neither one mine), and 3 other people have flown it. It is undamaged despite some plops into the dirt, and even touch-and-goes on asphalt.

I use 30' of lightweight Spiderwire line instead of the stock control-line as provided. It makes a big difference. I also cut the prop down to 5" from the stock 6" to get a bit more speed.

Everyone is pleased and impressed with the plane, and a couple of the "newbies" were threatening to go get their own as they left. <VBG>
