Toy Airplane - Fairchild PT-19

I made this wooden toy airplane for my grandson.  The inspiration for it was a little different--I had a dream that I was building a wooden toy airplane for my grandson.  In the dream, it looked more like a Ford Tri-Motor plane.  When I woke up, I thought to myself, "I have to build a plane for him."  I ended up making it look like a PT-19 Trainer.  I had a string-controlled PT-19 with a .049 engine when I was a kid.  The plane itself is very simple--there are only 3 pieces of wood.  The vinyl Army-Air Corp stickers really finish it off nicely.  I will give it to my grandson on his upcoming 2nd Birthday!
