This kit is a 1:12 scale, flying model of the aircraft designed for the US Army Air Corps as a primary trainer. This rugged monoplane debuted in 1939 during World War II under the PT-19 and PT-26 Cornell designations. The PT 19 with an open cockpit and the PT 26 Cornell with an enclosed cockpit were used by both US and Canadian air forces to train pilots for WWII. Originally known as Fairchild M62. This kit is a superb contest-proven lightweight flying model with multiple trophies.

"I beefed up the wing. I covered the leading edge with 1/16 balsa. Beefed up the landing gear mount, covered all the fuselage with 1/32" balsa. Covered the cockpit area with 1/32" plywood. Mounted a brushed 400 direct drive & Bec with 2200 ma li poly 7.4 volt. Have not flown it so far but it has plenty of zip so I don't expect any problems." - Mitchell Underwood
