Pt19 pilot and windshield

Does anyone have a Cox PT19 pilot and windshield that you could loan me so that I can try to make a copy?

I would return it when finished.

Thanks!

CG,
I don't, but I have plastic busts from ages ago. They were sold in bulk with windscreens. The box has two sizes of busts and canopies. I can't remember the manufacturer, but all the busts are lemon yellow.

Anybody have a PT-19 bust fo measurements? Head diameter across the crown of the head and height from "under chin" to top of crown would be nice. Overall height would assist.

If my bust's head matches, then this becomes a simple matter of cutting my bust to appropriate height. Is this perfect, nope...but it ought to get a guy close.

These pieces are so rare that if you see them, they will sell for 1/2 the price of the plane.
Being a big buyer on E-Bay and Marketplace, I found it cheaper to buy a complete plane.

It's a shame to have an incomplete plane, but it's often the only solution. Marketpalce often offers good deals.

Good luck

I can use those numbers. Thanks Iatole.
CG, I'll try to get to my busts tomorrow. Who knows...they may be a fashionable change!

944_Jim, You are welcome, feel free to ask some other reading.

I keep this pilot/cockpit assembly detached from the aircraft.
I want to fly it eventually and without risking damage to these rare parts,
I have several PT-19

Hi CG,
Sorry this took so long. Here he is. He is 1-1/8" tall. His head is 1/2" wide, 1/2" from chin to crown, and 1/2" from brim of helmet to back of helmet.

You are more than welcome to a pair.

I'm a bit late to the party, but, I had to make a plan with a broken front window frame...

I designed a replacement, and once installed, decided to cut the rear frame away and install one in the rear as well.
Not an "exact" replica" but looks ok, compared to a broken window frame anyway!
