My First Balsa Wood RC Plane - PT-19 - Maiden Flight

Over the past year I taught myself how to fly RC Planes using my Drone Pilot skills. This plane from Hangar 9 called the PT-19 is my very first Wooden Plane. In this video I take it for the maiden Flight.
The PT-19 is made by HANGAR 9. You can find it at the links below:

Welcome to the world of artf balsa planes 👍

[@randall1959]

There's just something magical about balsa planes

[@johna.s.3847]

Balsa planes fly so much better than the foamies. Very easy to repair, and cover where damage may occur.

[@randall1959]

@@johna.s.3847 Much more precise aerodynamics

[@bulufish8208]

What a Joy 😊 reviewing what you like doing. Awesome 👌

[@gittarpikk]

the Cox P-19 plastic plane (rubber bands held wings on) was the most popular novice plane of the late 60's... and most any larger PT-19 has the same qualities. You need to build a nitro balsa plane , enjoy the trip, and then take that baby out for the maiden, like we have done over the years (late 60's to 90's). That, friend is the 'real McCoy' of an experience...and oh, make sure to throw in plenty of windex and paper towels, and don't forget the nitro flight box with starter and battery. The thrill/angst of the maiden when you actually build it from a kit(or scratch as we did) is exponetial. Ain't nuthin like tha smell of burnt nitro first thing in the morning at the flight line (it was addicting)

[@stevealbin8257]

Just loved this video. What an amazing plane. Good old balsa..amazing 😮

[@dougcooper4917]

Excellent Video. Very Nice RC Plane. Thank You Steve.

[@jamienoonan1186]

Wow, beautiful morning. Nice video.

[@MTBPerspective]

Glad you didn't crash it! Walk of shame to a balsa crash is torture as the closer you get, the more carnage is apparent. Really painful when you built it from scratch with hours and hours invested in something that turned into a pile of toothpicks in seconds.

[@Didjeridoolove]

At the rate I’ve smashed my foamies, um, I’ll just watch🤣… awesome review as usual and enjoy your vacation 👍👍👍

[@TommieG63]

THAT IS A BEAUTIFUL PLANE!!!!!

[@liamrochford3649]

Beautiful aircraft and excellent video as always. Greetings from Tipperary, Ireland 🇮🇪

[@tomfuller7401]

Beautiful plane Captain, My dad taught cadet's to fly in the PT 19 back in WW 11. Thanks for the review.

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

I like the details enjoy the weekend

[@shsechas]

Always the best reviews. Thanks Cap!

[@willrine8614]

Fun video ! 😃 Love low ‘n slow !

[@n057828]

From Australia 🇦🇺 nice ❤

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thank you Australia!

[@sumner407]

This is a beautiful plane and you flew it expertly well. I like the sound kit too. It really adds a feel of authenticity to the flying experience. 👍👍

[@tb77073]

❤

[@big-smoke-rc]

You'll enjoy the balsa models. They make a great sound, and they do fly a little better.

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

Nice colors cool set up

[@jerrywhitworth316]

I had an old Cox PT19 line control as a kid. In the late 60's or early 70's.

[@DCFPV]

Thanks for the Canadian Links... Great video...

[@49richard]

I just bought one and will be flying it on a 4S 5000mAh. Thank you for such a good video!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@rafaeltorres2886]

You did great on the maiden 😮❤

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

Good morning really cool plane nice review

[@ColinRussianForce]

Hi Steve, heard on the news about wildfires in Canada, hope all is well where you are and that the fires are now under control. Great plane. 👍✈️ balsa wood, not used that since I was at school in the 70s 😁the plane is so quiet and moves like a glider due to the light balsa wood. Don’t crash it Steve as am sure a bad crash would turn it into a heap of matches and toothpicks 😂

[@carmeoruiz8860]

I like the ones with the wrapon the wings.

[@juki6377]

this flew remarkably well for a low wing plane, so lovely

[@dronepilot260rc]

Wow that’s pretty efficient!

[@peter360adventures9]

Awesome.

[@tb77073]

That’s a beautiful plane, I have had the privilege of building these wood/balsa kits over the years and flying them. I must say building is almost as much fun as flying them. The PT 19 is at the top of my favorite list. I love tail dragers.

[@eugeneaustin]

this brings back many memories balsa flying you can tell the difference between wood and plastic foam no juddering smooth flying great sound of the engine great review Steve i think the best yet. well done

[@henrytaaffe7058]

awsome footage steve

[@stevennagley3407]

On the box art of the old rubber band models (Guilows) would always say, “balsa always flies better”

[@robertfpv7733]

Head tracking in this plane would be so sick

[@crddrones3457]

Congrats on the wood ✈️ plane,that sweet! never had one, but I’ve always inspired them ,since I was little

[@tweakrr99]

This is one of the classic Hangar 9 planes. I have a few of them and they're all really nicely made. Definitely a great choice for this type of plane.

[@jacksonrcaviation]

Nice indeed 😎🇺🇸🇨🇦

[@Edubarca46]

The PT-19 is a beautiful airplane.. The best one is the old design by Chuck Hollinger and published in 1955. Then it was kitted by JETCO and SIG. Real balsa building with a beautiful nitro glow engine. No electrics with that stupid sound. This Hollinger balsa version is still being built by real modellers worldwide.

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

Always great information cool channel

[@HowDareYouBiden]

I wanted to hear the fake engine sound going past. great video as always.

[@427Lsx_brazy]

That thing looks super super cool for being made out of wood

[@jesusgjchuza6491]

Cool

[@richard1472]

Check the CG on a low wing airplane with the plane upside down, not right side up.

[@packer34]

Balsa's the best! I started with a Sig Kadet was to be 7 pounds crashes so much with it, it end up about 11 about 5 yrs later but still few. I was nitro too. You have to try a nitro or gas. I still think it's the best. Imo

[@derekpask3633]

Hi Steve The trestle on top is for the wing walker harness. Needs a beautiful girl

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Ha ha… yes!

[@nighthawk0077]

Nice job. Those PT-19s do fly very well. Also I would look into joining a real RC flying club. All those lamp posts and obstructions would make me nervous, plus you don't have to worry about whether people will be out using the park or crashing into them ;-)

[@TheVeganarchism]

I know what you mean, I’m quite partial to the maidens myself.

[@shb7772000if]

Nice video. I still think you need an assistant with a camcorder with a 20x zoom lens, or have someone follow it in a drone.

[@russcoaus2043]

😊👍

[@forerunnert]

Balsa rules

[@tughillrc6327]

Nice review, other than the weight were there any dislikes? I own the Hanger 9 P-47 fun scale balsa and had to reglue the engine box that holds the engine due to deboned/ insufficient glue in that area caused a non powered land that luckily caused no damage and was easy to repair. Enjoyed watching Steve.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I have no dislikes with this model as it is built well. I may get the P-47, so that is good to know about the engine box.

[@tughillrc6327]

They put all the weights on top that box so reinforcing it with extra 20 minute epoxy is not a bad idea.@@CAPTAINDRONE798

[@lincoln_bown]

i’m first wow!

[@Klaatu-ij9uz]

STEVE -- How did you teach yourself to fly R/C airplanes other than the obvious? Did you also acquire a flight computer program to help you along, too? Thank you.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Since I fly FPV drones, it makes it simple to fly RC planes. I did also get the Spektrum Real Flight simulate to fly indoors on rainy days. I made a video last year about the best LARGE RC planes. In that video I explained how simple it is to fly RC planes while I was flying.

[@meathead2676]

At the point 👉 I've came up to the conclusion that all these airplanes you have are free 👈 ..😂

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

If only that were the case. RC Planes are rarely every free, unless you are an RC PLANE ONLY KZbin Channel. All nice RC planes you see on my channel, come out of my pocket and for my own enjoyment.

[@meathead2676]

@CAPTAINDRONE798 🤣 it was a joke...I really have no clue...or real Opinion...

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

I only have one beginner plane

[@montanaflyer1147]

So when are you going to get into other than electric fixed wing? Seems to me that is your next adventure...

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Gas and Turbine fixed wing is rather noisy so I won’t be getting into those.

[@rosaofprague]

Does made out wood feels different when you are flying it? I never know

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Yes. The plane is very solid in the air which provides a more exact flight with minimal movement of the joysticks.

[@gittarpikk]

yep

[@JMTerry1984]

Fantastic video as usual! Given the price point of this model (quite expensive, at least here in the UK where its £540) - do you think this price point is worth it over foamies? Am thinking to exchange my T-28 Trojan for this, what do you think?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Balsa is so much better than foam and easy for mods, but for repairs… Foam is champ since it is so simple to fix.

[@JMTerry1984]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thanks ! What’s your fun to fly rating for this model , compared to other warbirds you’ve flown recently ?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

@@JMTerry1984 This falls into my category of relaxed scale flying. I'm more an adreneline flyer so i need speed and touchy controls, but this is more on the relaxed "look good" side. Most warbirds are very relaxed flyers, especially Mustangs. This one is not designed to flick around in the air, but more gental roles and loops.

[@JMTerry1984]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 like you I think I’m also an adrenaline junkie, loving the FMS P51 blue thunder “Reno racer” for instance. In your view, is there a plane that “does it all” and you find yourself going back to ? I’m finding that really difficult!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

@@JMTerry1984 over the past year I have tried over 100 RC planes so you could pretty much ask me my thoughts on planes from eFlite, FMS, Freewing, Flightline, etc. The planes I fly the most seem to be the 64mm and 70mm due to size.

[@johna.s.3847]

Balsa planes fly much better. Lighter and more rigid. More realistic in flight.
