So...sometimes one just falls in your lap....
PT-19, that is.
Last month, my brother AJ bought out part of an estate through the mechanic that maintains his Ercoupe. Some of it included a couple R/C model airplanes and a bunch of equipment that he thought I might use.
He does some fairly high-dollar impulse buying from time to time, but this was the first time one of his impulses was aimed at me. I think it might also have been a gesture of appreciation toward the guy that helps him keep his "Pesky Coupe" flying.
Anyway, the last item was this still-wrapped PT that, I guess, is late 80's vintage. Someone marked it as: '1/2 price $20', with an unreadable price tag stuck to it's side.
It's gonna stay in it's box for the time-being, rather than my trying to park another PT among the bunch that I'll gradually collected.
I haven't done a dedicated project for St. Jude Children Hospital in a while, so I may try to raffle or auction it for a 100% donation toward those folks at some point in the future.

Now, if a Testors Single Channel 'Skyhawk' will just fall from the sky...

Couldn't have landed in a better lap. The St. Jude's idea is great!
