Anyone have a PT 19 Hangar 9?

[Paul Taylor]

Anyone have one still in the box?

If so can you trace the fuselage and make me a template please.

Thanks

With or without motor?

[Paul Taylor]

Without.

   Hey Paul,
    I think I made a tracing of mine before I built it. Will have to wait until the weekend, but I'm pretty sure I did. I remember thinking that the model was pretty short coupled, and if I ever got another one, I would make the nose a bit longer and the tail a lot longer also
   Type at you later,

Thanks Dan.

    Hey Paul;
    I do have a tracing of the fuselage outline. PM me your street address and I'll mail you a tracing of it. I would seriously consider making the nose moment about 2 inches longer, and the tail about 3 or inches longer. It's awfully short coupled, and mine needed 4 ounces of nose weight to balance. I lengthened the control horn about 1 1/4" or so to slow the controls down enough where I could fly it! A longer tail would help the pitch stability. Maybe compare the dimensions as supplied with other models of similar wing area to determine the proper tail length. I think the airplane would look much better also. The quality of construction was pretty good, and parts fit up was real nice. If I could find another kit with just the wing and stab, I would build another one like I described.
   Send me your address and I'll get the outline on the way to you.
   Thanks a lot,
