I told Wayne in a PM the L-19 Bird Dog is kind of dear to me. I built the Scientific "hollow log" when I was a teenager and did by far the best job on anything I had built at that point. Put a very reliable (and strong) Wen-Mac .049 up front and got lots of flying time - it was my pride and joy way back then.
I spotted a colorful paint scheme in the November 2019 Model Aviation. It's a Micro RC but the colors kinda grab you ...
