Hi Jim,

I've been flying my PT-19 for about 2 years now. She is powered by a Magnum 120 4-stroke and flies scale plus a little bit more.
Not under powered by any means. If I was going to go gas on this model, I think I would go with a 26cc.

The model has a nice long nose forward of the cg and even with the 120 up front, she wants to nose over every now and again,
with a 38 up front, some tail weight would be in order (I think). As they say around here, "your mileage my vary".

This winter season I am going to strip the old covering off and recover with sig coveral and dope. Keeping the same yellow and blue
colors and maybe a new cowl from fiberglass specialists.

Wish they would re-release this kit, its a sweet flying ship and I would not mind building another.

Mike
