Seems I must have always run mine too lean, flame outs were the norm.

Most frustrating time of my aviation career.

The other part was plastic cement would not fully repair the broken bits, so mine all ended up as shelf models that dripped spent fuel.

In the end most were blown up with fireworks at some point in my misspent youth.

The PT-19 below is from the early 80's; asking price from eBay is $425.

If memory serves, I also had the Cox Thimble Drome P-40 but all that CL rage was in the late '60's or early '70's for me.

I discovered 'girls' about that same time and my lifes' priorities became noticeably skewed from that point onward.

Best, LB
