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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e98.5-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\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlmost 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\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned for 35-40cc single-cylinder petrol engines, giving the power-to-weight balance suited to this wingspan class\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFactory-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\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-wing design provides natural lift and docile handling at scale speeds, well suited to warbird events, scale flying displays, and aerotowing demonstrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePre-covered and largely pre-assembled Cessna L-19A Bird Dog airframe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFactory-applied Old Dog military livery\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHardware pack and assembly hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInstruction manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat You Need\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e35-40cc petrol engine\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePropeller suited to the chosen engine\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible engine muffler and mounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpark plug, ignition module, and kill switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFuel tank and fuel lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePetrol and oil mix as specified by the engine manufacturer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRC transmitter and receiver (minimum 4-channel recommended for a model of this size)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eServos appropriate for the aircraft size and control surface loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLanding gear wheels if not included in the hardware pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Seagull","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49762743288045,"sku":"SEA378W","price":1300.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2194\/5657\/files\/SEA378W1-02.jpg?v=1782522103","url":"https:\/\/www.hobbycity.nz\/products\/seagull-sea378w-cessna-l-19a-bird-dog-old-dog-98-5-almost-ready-to-run-35-40cc","provider":"Hobby City NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
