After talking with Brad about props and tires, his opinion is that 26" tires and 80" prop are a better combination at lower altitudes (below 6,000 ft.), while the larger tires / 83" prop are better at higher elevations (think Rockies). Also, the airplane will be much easier to get into and out of on 26's than it will on 29's. But in the end, you're the builder, you can make it whatever shade of yellow you want.
    I look forward to checking the yellow fx3 at Sebring. I am convinced that 26” tires and 80” prop will work for me. I reserve the color decision until then. It is nice to see the spirited discussion, what a great problem to have.

    Sorry Mike, we just ran out of BA Red. Can we substitute Yellow? Orange is good too.

    I wouldn't go that far. You can lay claim to "red being the new yellow" when your red outnumbers my yellow!!

    A green pepper turns yellow, then orange and ends-up red when fully ripe. So, yellow is early red.

    Turns-out Blue is winning anyway.

    MANY compliments this week on FX3#6 paint colors/scheme in Station 10.
