The Aviamilano P.19 Scricciolo (wren) was a light two-seater monoplane with side-by-side seats, which was designed by Ermenegildo Preti according to the requirements of the "Aero Club d'Italia". The aircraft was manufactured in the 1960s by the company "Aviamilano Construzioni Aeronautiche", which was based at Bresso airport near Milan.
history
The first flight of the prototype took place on December 13, 1959. The certificate of airworthiness was issued in April 1960. After approval, the aircraft was handed over to the Aero Club in Milan for further flight testing. By mid-1963 Aviamilano produced the first series of 25 aircraft. They had a Continental O 200 A piston engine with 100 HP (75 kW), which drove a two-blade wooden propeller at constant speed. The aircraft had a fuselage made of welded tubular steel with fabric covering. The wings were a wooden construction with a leading edge made of plastic that was reinforced with fiberglass.
