Using the Manual
This manual is divided into sections to help make assembly
easier to understand, and to provide breaks between each
major section. In addition, check boxes have been placed
next to each step to keep track of each step completed.
Steps with a single box () are performed once, while steps
with two boxes () indicate that the step will require
repeating, such as for a right or left wing panel, two servos,
etc. Remember to take your time and follow the directions.
Before Starting Assembly
Before beginning the assembly of your PT-19 Trainer, remove
each part from its bag for inspection. Closely inspect the
fuselage, wing panels, rudder and stabilizer for damage. If
you find any damaged or missing parts, contact the place of
purchase.
If you find any wrinkles in the covering, use a heat gun or
covering iron to remove them. Use caution while working
around areas where the colors overlap to prevent separating
the colors.

• Elevator joiner wire
Required Tools and Adhesives
• Felt-tipped pen • 30-minute epoxy
• Mixing cups • Mixing sticks
• Hobby knife w/#11 blade • Square
• Ruler • Paper towel
• Rubbing alcohol
Step 1
Use a hobby knife and #11 blade to remove the covering
from the slot in the fuselage for the horizontal stabilizer.

4 Hangar 9 PT-19 CL Assembly Manual
Step 2
The elevators have been shipped in position on the stabilizer
with the hinges. They are not glued and will need to be
removed to install the stabilizer in the fuselage.
Step 3
Locate the notch in the stabilizer that will allow clearance for
the control horn in the elevator joiner wire. Use a hobby knife
and #11 blade to remove the covering to expose the notch.
Step 4
Slide the stabilizer into the slot in the fuselage. Slide the
stabilizer forward as far as possible in the slot. Center the
stabilizer (A=A) in the fuselage. Also check the tips of the
stabilizer are an equal distance from a point centered at
the front of the fuselage (B=B). Make sure the notch in the
stabilizer is located on the left side of the fuselage. Left is
determined as if you were sitting in the cockpit piloting the
aircraft.
Step 5
Once aligned, use a felt-tip pen to trace the outline of the
fuselage on the stabilizer. Mark the stabilizer on both the top
and bottom, left and right.
Step 6
Carefully use a hobby knife to remove the covering 1/16-inch
(1.5mm) from inside the lines. Use light pressure with a new
#11 blade to avoid cutting into the underlying wood. You will
need to trim the covering from the top and bottom of the
stabilizer at this time.
Note: Other options other than a hobby knife are to use
a hot knife (with a new blade) or a soldering iron for
cutting the covering. These will melt the covering and
lower the chances of cutting into the wood structure of
the stabilizer.
Hint: Use a paper towel and rubbing alcohol to remove
the lines drawn on the stabilizer before gluing the
stabilizer into the fuselage.

5Hangar 9 PT-19 CL Assembly Manual
Step 6
Slide the stabilizer back into the fuselage. Check both sides
of the stabilizer to make sure it is square with the fuselage. If
not, lightly sand the opening in the fuselage for the stabilizer
to correct any alignment issues.
Step 7
Slide the stabilizer to the side so the elevator joiner wire can
be positioned in the fuselage. Notice that the control horn
will align in the slot in the stabilizer.
Step 8
Mix 1/2 ounce (15ml) of 30-minute epoxy and apply it to the
exposed wood on the top and bottom of the stabilizer.
Step 9
Slide the stabilizer into position and check its alignment as
described in Steps 4 and 6. Use a paper towel and rubbing
alcohol to remove any excess epoxy that will ooze from the
joint between the fuselage and stabilizer. Allow the epoxy to
fully cure before continuing.
Note: If epoxy does not ooze from the joint between
the fuselage and stabilizer, you have not used enough
epoxy. Go back to Step 8 and apply more epoxy as the
stabilizer must be glued securely to the fuselage.

Elevator Installation
Required Parts
• Elevator (right and left) • Fuselage assembly
Required Tools and Adhesives
• 30-minute epoxy • Thin CA
• Mixing cups • Mixing sticks
• Toothpicks • Hobby knife w/#11 blade
• Paper towel • Rubbing alcohol
• T-pins
 Step 1
Use a hobby knife to remove the covering in the notch and
where the elevator joiner wire will fit in the elevator. The
elevator with the notch is the left side elevator. Remove the
covering in the right elevator for the joiner wire at this time
as well.
Note: Only one elevator will have the notch that fits the
elevator control horn in the joiner wire.
 Step 2
Remove the hinges from the elevator. Place a T-pin in the
center of each hinge. This will keep them centered equally
between the elevator and stabilizer when they are installed.
 Step 3
Slide the hinges back into the elevator.
 Step 4
Test fit the elevator to the stabilizer by sliding the hinges
from the elevator in the stabilizer. Don’t forget to insert the
joiner wire into the elevator as well. The elevator will rest
tight against the stabilizer when installed.

 Step 5
Mix a small amount of 30-minute epoxy and apply it to both
the elevator joiner wire and the hole in the elevator half the
joiner wire fits into. Make sure not to get any epoxy where
it could accidentally glue the joiner wire to the stabilizer.
Reposition the elevator and make sure the tip of the elevator
aligns with the tip of the stabilizer.
Hint: Use a paper towel and rubbing alcohol to remove
any excess epoxy before continuing.
Step 6
Repeat Steps 1 though 5 to attach the remaining elevator
half to the stabilizer,
Step 7
Remove the T-pins from the hinges. Check to make sure you
arebe able to achieve around 30–45 degrees of deflection for
aerobatic flight. Deflect the elevator (don’t move it away from
the stabilizer) and apply thin CA to the top and bottom of the
hinges. Use enough CA so it wicks into the hinge to bond the
hinge to the surrounding wood of the stabilizer and elevator.
Allow the CA to cure before proceeding.
Note: Do not use a CA accelerator on the hinges. The
CA must be allowed to soak into the hinge naturally
to provide the best bond between the hinge and
surrounding wood.
Step 8
Gently attempt to separate the elevator and stabilizer to make
sure the hinges are properly glued. If not, apply additional
CA to secure loose hinges. Flex the elevator up and down
a few times to break-in the hinges to complete the hinging
process.

Vertical Fin Installation
Required Parts
• Fuselage assembly • Vertical fin
Required Tools and Adhesives
• 30-minute epoxy
• Mixing cups • Mixing sticks
• Toothpicks • Hobby knife w/#11 blade
• Paper towel • Rubbing alcohol
Step 1
Use a hobby knife and #11 blade to remove the covering
from the top of the fuselage to fit the vertical fin. Also
remove the covering from the very aft end of the fuselage
leaving 1/16-inch (1.5mm) of covering on each side of the
fuselage as shown in the second photo below.
Step 2
Use a hobby knife and #11 blade to remove the covering
from the bottom of the fin where it fits into the fuselage.
Also remove the covering from the fin where it meets the aft
end of the fuselage.
Step 3
Test fit the fin to the fuselage. Use a square to check that
the fin fits square to the stabilizer. Use 30-minute epoxy
to glue the fin to the fuselage. Apply epoxy to the exposed
wood of the fin and fuselage. Allow the epoxy to fully cure
before proceeding.
Hint: Use a paper towel and rubbing alcohol to remove
any excess epoxy before continuing.

Wing Installation
Required Parts
• Fuselage assembly • Wing
Required Tools and Adhesives
• 30-minute epoxy
• Mixing cups • Mixing sticks
• Toothpicks • Hobby knife w/#11 blade
• Paper towel • Rubbing alcohol
• Epoxy brush • Felt-tipped pen
Step 1
Slide the wing into the fuselage. Note the opening in the
wing for the elevator pushrod is on the top of the wing.
Also, the slot for the landing gear will be on the bottom
of the wing.
Step 2
Slide the wing left and right until the wing is parallel to
the stabilizer. This will also center the wing correctly in
the fuselage.
Parallel
Step 3
Use a rule to measure out from the fuselage 21 inches
(534mm) from the fuselage on both sides of the wing 3
inches (75mm) back from the leading edge.
Step 4
Use a ruler or string to measure from mark made on
the left wing panel to the tip of the stabilizer. Repeat the
measurement on the right side and compare the two. They
should be identical. If not, reposition the wing and measure
it again until both measurements are equal.
A A
A=ATop View
Important: You can not measure from the wing tips to
the stabilizer tips as the wing is not equal in length from
right to left. Doing so will result in an airframe that is
not square and may not fly properly.
Step 5
Use a felt-tipped pen to transfer the outline of the fuselage
onto the wing, both on the top and bottom.

Step 6
Carefully use a hobby knife to remove the covering 1/16-inch
(1.5mm) from inside the lines. Use light pressure with a new
#11 blade to avoid cutting into the underlying wood. You will
need to trim the covering from the top and bottom of the
wing at this time.
Note: Other options other than a hobby knife are to use
a hot knife (with a new blade) or a soldering iron for
cutting the covering. These will melt the covering and
lower the chances of cutting into the wood structure of
the wing.
Hint: Use a paper towel and rubbing alcohol to remove
the lines drawn on the wing before gluing to the
fuselage.
Step 7
Slide the wing in the fuselage. Leave the wing slightly askew
so the exposed wood can be accessed.
Step 8
Mix 1/2 ounce (15ml) of 30-minute epoxy and apply it to
the exposed wood on the top and bottom of the wing. Slide
the wing into position and double-check the alignment as
described in Steps 2 and 4. Allow the epoxy to fully cure
before proceeding.
Note: If epoxy does not ooze from the joint between
the fuselage and wing, you have not used enough
epoxy. Go back and apply more epoxy as the wing must
be glued securely to the fuselage.
Hint: Use a paper towel and rubbing alcohol to remove
any excess epoxy before continuing.
