How did I miss meeting up with you guys????

[Kim]

I don't remember for sure, but thought you were on a trip somewhere. I DID leave a little earlier than I planned (packing Patrick along). Figure we'll do it again this year.
I was thinking about installing a crazy-big fuel tank and going for the "Longest Recorded Cox PT-19 Flight" in human history !

[getback]

Hey!! I am in , after getting my engine to run right got a good flight in other than the damn 40+ feet of trine to release the model got wrapped around my feet  funny now not then wish I got a vid. of it but no . I flew again and was doing loops (inside) and decided I thought it was capable of a outside loopie !!! but did not perform as I was hoping and now a repair is in the Q     m That was stupid and now regret doing it . Getback

[Cribbs74]

Tough break Eric,

The outside loop cost me a few planes before I figured it out. The problem is you go into a full dive at the beginning of the loop and it happens very quick. Make sure you are at least 45 degrees before you start or enter it from inverted flight.

After a while you do it without thinking.

So, do we want to do it in September again for 2015? Perhaps the weekend of Sept. 26th?

I think that day is clear on my calendar. Sure, I'm in. Can we make it a weekend instead of a day?

Eric, I've done the stooge dance a couple of times. It's always funny later. Sorry to see the wreck, but fix it up and fly it again.

This is funny on full screen on a desktop. If you only have a phone to watch videos with, don't bother, you can't see my kicking feet.

Sounds Great to Me !!!!!!

[PeterJGregory]

Hey, we're two weeks into the year, already.

What's the plan?

[Kim]

Well, I got me a pretty-much-unmarked-on calendar book...I'm only locked for the first half of June (S.M.A.L.L. Fly-In in Little Rock and Sig Fly-In in Montezuma)...so, figure these PT-19r's can start checking in...

Me and my plastic dinosaurs are ready....

Darn Eric, To bad, to pretty an airplane to take a header. But with your assortment of glues in your picture you have reconstruction covered. CA, Elmers, Titebond, Contact cement, more CA and epoxy, looks like my workbench.

I just started using Titebond on models, always used CA or Epoxy. It seems to do as well without getting my fingers glued together with CA or mixing up epoxy.

[RknRusty]

I'm in, this is one of our activities I wouldn't miss. Maybe I can get my Son to come on the weekend and fly too. I still have to fix it after his flight last year. I always fly first when we fly together. I want him to try a big plane.

Hey, Guys.  Sorry I didn't follow up last September.  Lot's of issues going on back then.  I'm definitely up for International Cox PT-19 Fly It If You Got It Day! 2016.  We had it in September the first year because we started late and it was about the only weekend that didn't have a major fly-in.  Do Y'all want to do it that late this year, or do you want to do it more in the summer months?

The Scheduler Mark

[Kim]

Thanks Mark! I'm in for whenever...totally depends on whether some of my buds want to gather someplace on a specific date.

[getback]

September is good with me but if YA;ll want it sooner that's fine too , I am ready other than putting the control wire back no some how I for got to do that when I fixed it . Thinking of upgrading to a Golden Bee I have never ran one as many as I have handled A chance to get these wall hangers out and have some FUN !!    Bob you know you got to have all those different kinds of glues  getback

Datewise, I will be involved with the Mid Hudson RC Society's 50th Annual Jamboree at the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome.
Dates into Sept may be a good time since so many of us have vacation commitments. Even early Oct.

I found a nice bird on craigslist and am arranging a pick at a half way point between the seller and me.

There are probably a couple dozen PT-19's in my 2 clubs' members' basements.

When we get a date here on CEF I will do my best to get good participation from these club guys.
I think it will be fun. Somewhere on CEF I saw someone's really nice balsa reproduction, I'd like to build one that way.
One of my clubs is electric only so maybe make that one electric. Hope nobody here has a spell over going electric on one!

Me, I've got a gallon and a half of fuel to burn, so maybe I can get club members out to at least fly one I owned.

Cheers, Poughkeepsie Pete

Oh man...PLEASE post some photos from that event! I got to visit that magical place once back inn 1990. The history of your club goes WAY back, and a bunch of my old magazines have photo spreads of the great model airplane stuff that's gone on there over the decades !!!!!

[ARUP]

Anybody have a spare PT-19 for sale?

You can build your own squadron with this:   http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-MODEL-AIRPLANE-COX-THIMBLE-DROME-PT-19-Parts-Lot-/381524607996?hash=item58d4a383fc:g:iBMAAOSwqrtWnrTy


Well, there is only ONE wing....

[ARUP]

If I can't ever find a 'real' one can I make one myself? If so what are the specs?

[NEW222]

Would this be allowed? Not a Cox model, but will be Cox powered.

[NEW222]

ARUP - You could go this route. It is what I did.... Plans should be there in one of the posts.
