R/C Aircraft?

A serious R/C airplane modeler will be attempting an exact duplicate at R/C scale to the YO-3A. The question--will it be a "quiet" airplane? Stay tuned!

YO-3A Aft Fuselage Cleaned

Second to last section of aft fueselage on YO-3A 69-18007. As you can see there is no corrosion. Some of the paint has worn off and some of it could use a little more cleaning.

Bud Ukes takes YO-3A show on the Road

Bud Ukes, 3rd Pursuit Squadron (CAF) and YO-3A restoration fund raiser, has taken the story of the YO-3A to the June 3-4 Airshow, Newton Kansas and to the Airshow the following week at Ogden Utah. Contact Kurt Olney k.olney2@cox.net for more information.

YO-3A Restoration Progress

Steady progress is being made on the YO-3A.

Rob Skinner has set in motion the repair work to the propeller, the engine and the landing gear. Kurt Olney has reissued the Organizational Maintenance Manual and the Parts Illustrated Manual with changes through October 1971. In addition Kurt has located the Actual Weight Report and instruction for weighing and balancing the YO-3A and has given Rob a copy.

Rob is currently inspecting fuselage and the electrical system.

Kurt is working on the banner for the hanger and is in the process of updating the YO-3A website .
