Cox PT-19 for indoor RC

IT FLIES!!!

The balance was spot on. Ground handling is terrible, but I expected that. The Monokote covered tail skid has no traction on a smooth polished basketball court... I may have to look at swapping that out for a tailwheel. Power with the vintage 6x3 prop was enough, but not much extra. I changed to a 6x4.5 for the second flight and it seemed better. Unfortunately, I flew it into a wall shortly into the second flight so I didn't have a chance to feel it out much. Damage was minimal but did ground me for the evening.

I just got my June/23 MA magazine. On page 59, it looks like someone stole your idea & took credit for it . Congrats!

Try some electrical shrink tubing on your tail skid might give enough friction to be able to control ground maneuvers better.

Thanks guys. I owe a huge thank you to Terry Dunn for taking such an interest and wanting to do a write up on it.

That's a great idea! I will give that a try.
