I still have mine. It is heavy but was what I learned level flight with. The muffler was the first thing we took off, not very efficent! Several of my neighbors growing up either had this color scheme, or just the opposite. Later came along the yellow and blue versions. Not really a very good trainer by todays standards.

That is a rare one.  I don't I have ever seen one in that color scheme.  Was always blue and yellow.  DOC Holliday

Never having had any visits into Canada, I'm probably really reaching, but the blue and yellow were the US Army training colors.  The US Navy used different colors, and I'll bet Canada used red and yellow when they flew PT-26s (the closed cockpit version was used more there because of the harsher weather).

Most Canadian trainers were all yellow.

Cox made the QZ for a while, in parallel with the PT-19. Some PT-19's were molded yellow fuse, blue wings, some QZ's were white fuse, red wings.
