FAIRCHILD PT-19
INTRODUCTION.
Thank you for choosing the PT-19 ARTF by SEAGULL MODELS. The PT-19 was designed with the
intermediate/advanced sport flyer in mind. It is a low-wing scale aeroplane which is easy to fly and
quick to assemble. The airframe is conventionally built using balsa, plywood make it stronger than
the average ARTF , yet the design allows the aeroplane to be kept light. You will find that most of the
work has been done for you already. The pushrods are pre-made to the correct lengths, the motor
mount has been fitted and the hinges are pre-installed and pinned for security. Flying the PT-19 is
simply a joy.
This instruction manual is designed to help you build a great flying aeroplane. Please read this
manual thoroughly before starting assembly of your PT-19 . Use the parts listing below to identify all
