HUGE RC scratch built L19 takes flight after many years!

Rich takes to the skies with his scratch built L19. This was the first flight with this engine.

Very nice!!

Kinda inspires me to do something with a set of styrofoam wings I've had since 1978! Nice plane, would like to see it if/when he does do some scale work on it. I think I agree with him, it definitely needs that 24" prop, I think it would fly with a little more authority with it.

Rich wow, what a nice L19, deserves more details for sure. Great flying, really looks scale. Jeff in LA USA

That's really lovely...!

[@davefoley1776]

Awesome!

It looks to me as if it has adverse yaw I think it needs differential in the ailerons and or rudder ailerons mixing.

Excellent 👏🏻 well done that man, flying beautifully

[@JanBrilman-fy2uj]

Spooky, the empty cabin . . . Deserves a fine pilot!

[@warbuzzard7167]

Isn't that an L-19?

[@BluegrassStateRC]

@warbuzzard7167 yes sir. I've corrected it, I'm losing my mind apparently 😂

Engine has Not enough power

[@BluegrassStateRC]

Could probably benefit from a prop size increase.
