I ‘ve been wanting to get back into Nitro airplanes and helis since moving back here to the Midwest since they can handle the winds much better than the foamies. That’s mainly due to the weight and power. Folks ask me for beginner planes. Well beginner or not, this NitroPlanes CMP PT 19 coupled with the ASP 4 stroke Glow engine is a fabulous combination. The video says it all and would be a good trainer for RC, just like it was for my dad who was an instructor on the PT-19 when in the Army Airforce. He passed last November and this plane was purchased in his honor.
On another note, I ordered this PT-19 and engine from NitroPlanes over a month ago.
I also ordered another one with retracts that I intended to make electric from AK hobbies.
AK is located here in Iowa, and when I emailed them for a stock check, they said they had 16 of them.
I ordered and paid for one and expected it within a couple of days since they are local.
I am still waiting for over a month now!!
On the other hand, NitroPlanes had me one in 6 days, a record for sure, since they are out of stock a lot.
So my “tip of the hat” is to Nitroplanes and thanks for the service.
This is one really greatly built plane and the engine works perfectly.
Thanks for watching, subscribing and all your continued support.
