Our club hosted a CL demo years ago.  Cox donated a BIG crate of PT-19's for beginners' learn to fly.  They must have destroyed 50 of 'em.  I was on the repair crew to put 'em back together.  By the end of the day there wasn't enough left to fly a single one.

ok, i don't have the cox version, but I'm almost done with a blackhawk models pt-19. it will have a cox golden bee. would this be acceptable??

I'll have my balsa nosed Killer Bee powered PT-19 ready to fly. I gotta see if mine can do as many consecutive loops as Kim's.

"BWRAAAHAA!!!!!  And LOOPS there shall be !!!!!" 

I don't remember what's left of mine It made about a lap and a half before an unscheduled landing I think the student in the front seat and the rudder bought the farm that sad sad day.T.J.

  Count me in! That is the first day of our two day Broken Arrow Stunt and Scale contest put on by the Laffayett Esquadrille at Buder Park, and I'll pass the word around. I'm thinking putting up PT-19 flights after the competition is finished just for giggles and grins! We'll show the Ringmaster guys!

  I'm running late on this but I hope not too late! I got the official Okie Dokie from our contest CD to announce that we will be a site for the International Cox PT-19 Fly-A Thon at the Laffayette Esquadrille Broken Arrow Stunt and Scale Contest! I will be bringing one or two  of mine, and flights will take place Saturday afternoon following the completion of contest flying for the day. Saturday's events will include Old Tyme Stunt, Classic/Nos-30, Profile Stunt and the Scale classes we have scheduled. Check out the full schedule in the Events section. The way we usually proceed is to fly the smallest class on the center square pad so as to finish there as early as possible. While that event is flying on that circle, the scale guys are doing their static judging. Once we have the center circle cleared, then the scale guys take over for their official flights. Once the official flying is finished, then the Plastic Fantastics take over. There is another modeling event at the park that day, The GSLMA Modeling Extravaganza will be going on all day until 4PM or so. This is mostly R/C flying. The park does get busy that day, so if you decide to come out and attend the contest to fly, or to attend the PT-19 assembly, or to catch the rest of the Extravaganza, there will be something in the way of modeling to see. And even if I am the only one, there WILL BE PT-19 flights!

Okay, People.  Here's the link to the official "International Cox PT-19 Fly It If You Got It Day" thread on the CEF.  It's where we're going to keep track of who flew what and when.  

http://www.coxengineforum.com/t7189-the-official-international-cox-pt-19-fly-it-if-you-got-it-day-thread


The Rules are simple.

1) If you got it, fly it.
2) See Rule 1.

This thread is to post your Cox PT-19 flight reports.  Just let us know who you are, where you are, and how many flights you made.  It’s called the “Fly It If You Got It Day”, but flying will be targeted for both days of the weekend of Sept. 20th and 21st.  Since we’re really strict about reporting and documentation, you must promptly report your flights, promptly I say, between Sept. 20th and whenever you remember to tell us about it.  Pictures would be nice, and videos even nicer, but are not required.  The only requirement is that you have fun dusting off your old Cox PT-19 and flying it.  Extra points if you introduce the Cox PT-19 to someone who’s never seen or flown one before.

We’ll take all the reports and keep a running tally.  If this gets enough response, we can do it again next year with flyers, and a facebook page, and even a cool logo.

I posted my PT-19 official flight report over at CEF, but figured I'd post a copy here too.

My Official Tally of Flights for Cox PT-19 Fly It If You Got It Day:   

Rusty Knowlton            Columbia, SC, USA             1 Flight
Al Knowlton                 Columbia, SC, USA             1 Flight
And Holley flew the camera

I spent last week tinkering with the old PT, patching cracks with fiber packing tape, sealed with fingernail clear. Bent new stronger LG and added some light bigger Dubro tires for the grass field. The new engine ran okay but had a minor problem of drinking its own exhaust oil dribbling down the choke snorkel. I think that's what caused it to sag on and off. We had some tricky turbulence through the trees and off the roof of the church, but nothing a little 1/2A ballet couldn't handle. I took the first flight and even managed a rolling landing... sort of. It didn't flip. Al took the handle next for an exciting roller coaster, cut a few weeds and kept it in the air. Until he got bored with circles and pulled a Yank n' Hope loop. I thought he was going to pull it out at the last nanosecond, but noooooot quite! That unfortunately limited our official flights to two, as the little half-barrel hinge guide molded onto the rudder broke and was too greasy to glue at the field. We took it home and fixed it, but never made it back to the field.

We did, however get a video of each of our flights. Here they are:

I won 2 PT-19s at the Tulsa Glue Dobbers contest raffle, a bit to late.  Oh well.  Next year if they are nod destroyed by them ?
