Title: Ole Yeller is getting some new color
Post by: Paul Taylor on September 03, 2006, 08:53:06 PM

This afternoon I changed out the prop on Ole Yeller, SkyRay 35.
I went from a 10x6 to a 10x5 to try and slow it down. It flew OK.
My younger son was stooging for me. After the first flight I asked if he wanted to fly it.
He had not flown in some time. But last time he flew his Shoestring trainer he did OK.

I am sure I gave him a bad hand launch, the planes did a figure nine with slack lines.
Popped the TE at the first rib next to the fuse on the outboard wing. Stripped the monokote, hit is with some C/A and I hope to get it covered so I can try again tomorrow. Next time I will bring my runway.

Not sure what color it will be now. **)

Pink is not a good color for me. I do not have any shoes that will go with pink.

I did find just enough yeller to go back on the wing.


I hope to give it a try today. If my stooge will ever get out of bed! :P

Speedy repair.  Glad you could fix it.

I know a guy in Portland that might vote for orange mono.

That guy's orange SkyRay is a real nick looking plane. I do not think it has ever crashed.
