Here is a link to a few photos of a L19 build from Vailley Aviation plans. The plane in the photos belongs to a friend of mine. If you have any questions I can get you in touch with him and I am sure he will be glad to answer.

Sam, will here are a few questions, can you please ask what plans were used, I am very interested in the cockpit details, also what power engine is in the model and what wing span. I hope this will be OK to ask, terry

The engine is an OS 300 twin and the plans were from vailley aviation and were 1/4 scale which is a 108" wingspan. I have sent you a privite message with the owners name and e-mail address. He will be more than happy to answer your questions about the plane and building it.
