IMPORTANT

  The WattAge PT-19 Cornell EP ARF is not intended for inexperienced pilots.  It is in no way a trainer.  If you are

not comfortable flying low wing sport aircraft, we strongly suggest returning the airplane (brand new, in the box with all original
packaging and your dated sales receipt) to the place of purchase.

Kit Product Number 128387

The most innovative and effective primary trainer of its era, the PT-19 saw service starting in 1939 with the military's first order of 270 pieces.
With its unique advanced design and 6 cylinder engine, it out-flew over 17 other designs to win its first military contract.  Over its service life, this
special design saw over 3 official different variations (PT-19, PT-23, and PT-26) and in that time, well over 8000 were produced and used to train
Allied pilots world-wide.  More WWII pilots trained in this aircraft than in any other, making it still today one of the most recognized and revered
designs from this golden era of aviation.

Today, we're reverent to the history of this beautiful aircraft and are proud to present the WattAge PT-19 Cornell EP ARF. In its spirit of utility and
innovation, this beautiful Park Scale (tm) model features an innovative advanced-molded plastic fuselage that offers light weight and superb
detailing.  The wing and tail are built-up wood frames covered in a strong, but light iron-on covering that is repairable and re-shrinkable (we even
include a piece in case a minor repair is needed).

Modern electric R/C pilots demand light weight and this scale aircraft is a winner with its 12 ounce per square foot wing loading.  And yet, with so
much beauty and a detailed design, we managed to put huge value into this very affordable plane.  It even includes complete lightweight micro
hardware and a detailed instruction manual.
