The Seagull SEA378W Cessna L-19A Bird Dog 'Old Dog' is a large-scale Almost Ready to Fly warbird with a 98.5-inch wingspan, built for experienced RC fixed-wing pilots running 35-40cc petrol engines. Modelled on the iconic US military observation and liaison aircraft, this ARF fixed-wing kit arrives with the airframe largely pre-assembled and factory-covered in a worn 'Old Dog' military livery, reducing bench time before your first flight. The high-wing configuration typical of the real L-19A translates well to scale RC flying, producing stable, predictable flight behaviour and a gentle stall characteristic — but the sheer size of this RC warbird means it belongs in the hands of pilots with prior large-scale experience.
Key Features
- 98.5-inch wingspan puts this firmly in large-scale territory, delivering the imposing ground presence and stable, scale-speed flight behaviour associated with high-wing observation aircraft
- Almost Ready to Fly construction means the airframe, surface covering, and major assemblies are factory-completed, so your workshop time focuses on installing the engine, servos, and radio gear rather than building from scratch
- Designed for 35-40cc single-cylinder petrol engines, giving the power-to-weight balance suited to this wingspan class
- Factory-applied 'Old Dog' military livery recreates the weathered, service-worn appearance of a veteran L-19A Bird Dog without any additional painting or finishing required
- High-wing design provides natural lift and docile handling at scale speeds, well suited to warbird events, scale flying displays, and aerotowing demonstrations
