What Seagull recommends to go with the Seagull L-19A Bird Dog (Old Dog) (35-40cc) 2.50m (98.5in)
Description
The Seagull L-19A Bird Dog (Old Dog) (35–40cc) 2.50m (98.5in), part number SEA378, is an ARTF radio-controlled model aircraft from Seagull. Based on the Cessna L-19 observation and liaison aircraft, this model reflects the Bird Dog’s military service history with a scale colour scheme and detailed presentation. It uses lightweight laser-cut balsa and ply construction, covered in Oracover film, and is suitable for either a 35–40cc i.c. engine or an equivalent electric power system.
Designed for intermediate to advanced pilots at a designated R/C model flying site, the L-19A combines scale features with practical flying equipment. Functioning scale flaps, low-bounce tyres, aluminium airfoil wing struts and a factory-painted glass fibre cowl are included. The plug-in, quick-release wing panels simplify transport, while working LED landing and navigation lights add to the aircraft’s scale appearance. Further details include seats, rockets and fuel caps.
Model Details
The aircraft has a 2,500mm wingspan and 1,667mm length, representing a 1:4.3 scale version of the full-size Bird Dog. Its olive drab finish and wood construction follow the supplied specification, while the conversion mount allows the airframe to be prepared for electric power instead of an i.c. engine.

Seagull L-19A Bird Dog (Old Dog) (35-40cc) 2.50m (98.5in) Manuals & Guides
Specifications
Designed specifically as an observation and liaison aircraft the Cessna L-19 received its name 'Bird Dog as a result of its intended role, which was to find the enemy and orbit overhead until artillery or attack aircraft could be brought to bear, i.e. in much the same way as a gun dog. Introduced in 1950 and retired in 1974 the Bird Dog had a lengthy career, most notably serving in the Vietnam War
Seagull s evocative rendition of the military war horse faithfully captures the spirit of the aircraft in laser-cut balsa and ply, covered, as always, in beautifully applied Oracover film. Suitable for 35 to 40cc engines (or equivalent electric power) the L-19 s impressive 98 wingspan and rugged utility looks give it incredible authenticity. Without question, it s a model that will turn heads wherever you fly it.
