folks
heads-up for anyone seeking a project?
saw this on ebay and it seems like an excellent entry level Warbird project for someone in the USA, 2xPT-19 projects in one ebay sale?
regards

What I have for auction is a pair of Fairchild PT-19 WWII trainer aircraft. Both are projects with all paper work and it is up to date and in my name. Included is airworthy certificates, logs, operation limitations, and current registrations. These projects represent years and years of collecting parts and they include some very good pieces. Also included is a very complete collection of literature covering the Fairchild PT-19's, including original manuals and duplicate copies of airframe and engine manuals, advertisments from during the War along with magazine articles, etc. I also have all of the wing, center section and fuselage wood drawings. From ribs to stringers etc., this is very hard to find.
Also included beside the aircraft and literature are 2 additional fuselages, extra rudders, vertical stabs., elevators at least 8 pair, flaps, cowling sections, 6-7 engines, many gas tanks, oil tanks, starters, landing gear castings, etc. I have one NOS 200hp Ranger engine still in the crate with new mags etc., also a NOS large hub propeller with 2 large hubs, and another small hub prop with hub. I have many new old stock parts beside the Ranger engine, these include wing bolts, pitot tubes, spark plugs, brake parts as pucks, expander tubes, master cylinders, tail wheel assemblies, tail wheel tire, engine cowling, flaps, ducting for oil coolers, the prop, mags, instrument mounts, instruments, belly stringers, engine mounts and more.
I have all this and one of the pairs of wings have just been restored, and they have the 337's for them to be returned to service. All this work was just finished in 2006. One side was New Old Stock, everything is inspected and signed off.
The just of all this is you can build one aircraft and sell off the rest and have yourself a PT-19 for less than you could ever imagine. This was my dream and now it can be yours. I just don't have the time or energy anymore to finish this project by myself. I don't want it to just sit it needs finished and flown again, both of them.
