Default RE: PT 19 with decals

Looking good and best of luck with the upcoming maiden. I've a PT-19 in my hanger (Hanger 9 1.20 size) and it is one of the finest flying models I've owned or flown. Both take offs and landings are graceful and very predictable. It tracks great in loops, axial rolls don't produce a lot of walloring (if that is a word). Knife edges well and is the only plane I've owned that will do the lumcevak predictably with more often than not three reverse tumbles and sometimes four.

The plane does offer a fairly stark contrast between no wind and headwind landings. With no wind, flapperons are needed to get the plane to slow down for a reasonable landing glide slope but with a headwind, no flapperons are needed and in fact a fair amount of power is needed to maintain the slope.

Hope you like yours as much as I do mine.
