Electrifly PT-19

Description

For many WWII aces, the PT-19 was the "Cradle of Heroes" - their first step toward becoming a successful fighter pilot. Inexpensive, easy to fly and easy to maintain, this primary trainer gave novice aviators a chance to learn basic skills before moving on to more advanced training...and perhaps fulfilling their dreams of flying P-47s and P-51s. The PT-19 demanded more precise, careful control than earlier biplane trainers, repaying growing flight skills with exceptionally strong and predictable performance.

• Offers the look of original primary trainer, with the aerobatic performance of a "second" plane.
• Prebuilt for faster final assembly, with details you'd expect only in a kit!
• Loaded with realistic extras, including formed windscreens, a rollover pylon and a steerable tailwheel for ground control!
• The best description of PT-19 assembly is "Easy does it." There's no recovering or building to do -- and most hardware is already installed and ready to go.
• Formed wire landing gear and strut covers duplicate the fixed gear of the original. The ElectriFly version includes a steerable tailwheel, for smooth, easy ground handling.
• An authentic rollover pylon between the familiar three-panel windscreens gives the 2-seater cockpit added realism with no added work!

The resemblance to the full-size trainer is remarkable inside and out, with factory-applied MonoKote® film and decals on the exterior and instrument panels in the pilot and instructor's cockpits.  Even today, the Army's premier pilot-maker of WWII is an air show favorite, with over 100 still in flying condition. With its bright yellow and blue trim scheme and near-seventy year service record, it stands as one of the most easily recognizable airplanes in the world.
