Cox Sky Rally Kyosho Cox 049 -> It goes on
Hello everybody,
yesterday I bought an 049 Sky Rally ultralight on ebay. It will take a few days until it arrives but now i'm searching for a manual for this model. Does someone has this guide? Or know where I can download it?
Here is a photo from the hang glider(this is not mine):
As soon as I have my own Sky Rally the right pictures will follow.

Re: Cox Sky Rally Kyosho Cox 049 -> It goes on
On eBay? How did I miss that one? I've been keeping my eye open for one at a decent price for a long time. I had one back in the mid-80's and wish I still had it. The tubing was all bent and messed up, so it wasn't in flying condition. One Saturday evening, I decided I wanted a new plane for the next day, so I took a red Pringle's can, ate the chips, and made a flying Pringle's plane using the wing from the Sky Rallye. A friend who owned a hobby shop saw it fly and asked if he could put it in his shop window. It turned into a big customer draw for him, so when I moved from SC to OR, I let him keep it.

Hello batjac,
i think you missed it because it comes from Germany, where I live too.
My Sky Rally is also not in the best condition, but I think i can fix it.

@WingingIt74
if you want I can measure every thing as good as possible when the hang glider arrives. I'll disassemble anyway to clean it and to check if everthink still in good conditions.
@Marleysky

Re: Cox Sky Rally Kyosho Cox 049 -> It goes on
Nice find , they pop up sometimes on Ebay Germany.
In Germany it was a very popular model in the early 90ies, I still remember it in the showroom of my model dealer. today they are quit rare and often damaged.

Cox Sky Rally Kyosho Cox 049 -> Its arrived!
The .049 Sky Rally arrived today
Two of the aluminum tubes are broken, but can easily be replaced. The rest is still in good condition. I'm going to disassemble the aircraft within the next days and clean it and if necessary I replace the broken parts. The motor does not look as he had run a lot. He is in very good conditions. But it's very dirty from the castor oil. But look for yourself:

Could you measure the tubes and take pictures of the assembly without the wing attached? It'd be fun to take some aluminum tube and try to re-create the plane
Looking at the photos, I was interested to see the Dragonfly. Mine came from Cox with a Babe Bee engine.

edit: Oops! I just re-read you post from above offering to measure the tubes. Sorry.

Re: Cox Sky Rally Kyosho Cox 049 -> It goes on
Very nice find, looking forward to hear from you! Will you fly it?
I picked up a Graupner/Cox Piper Turbo Arrow 3 foamy for cheap on ebay last week. It has a throttle control
And also an box of Graupner/ Cox Original Fuel Cans, have already run one Can in my .21 Buggy, the fuel ist still good

Re: Cox Sky Rally Kyosho Cox 049 -> It goes on
Hi everybody,
@ coxaddicted:
Of course. I will rebuild the glider and then i want to fly it, too.
Nice plane! A also thinking about adding a throttle to the glider...
Right now I have not much time for the glider. I'll report as soon as there is a progress.

Hi everybody,

Very nice find! 100% new... This is very rare!
@all:

Nice find.
Im still on the lookout for a replacement to my old one as a kid.
Mine didn't come with a Dragonfly... Babe Bee or QRC if I recall.

Re: Cox Sky Rally Kyosho Cox 049 -> It goes on
Hello MrGoodwreck,
thanks. Yeah, these models are difficult to find. Especially here in Germany.
I haven't done something on the plane in the last time, but this summer the plane has to fly again.
So in the next 4-8 weeks i will work again on the Skyrally to bring it back to the sky !
Do you want a whole Skyrally as a replacement or do you need just a few replacement parts?
Nice engine, too. I think the Dragonfly is only a Cox with a bigger tank. So nothing really special.

Re: Cox Sky Rally Kyosho Cox 049 -> It goes on
Hello everybody,
after a long time without any improvement i decided to rebuild the engine. The spare parts also lay here for a few month.
So after a clean up in an ultrasonic cleaner and some polishing, the engine looks like a new one. Only the plastic tank looks not so good.
In the next few days i will fire up the engine. If the engine runs nice and smooth, i will go further with the Sky-Rally itself.
Have a nice day!

Re: Cox Sky Rally Kyosho Cox 049 -> It goes on
Hello everybody,
today i disassemble the main alu frame. Some tubings are bent or broken. I will make some new ones and replace them. The good ones will be cleaned up.
Also the connectors has to be cleaned up.
After that the airplane can be reassembled with new electric and then i can bring it back to the sky...

Hello again,
today i cleaned everything up and start to rebuild the frame.
Some plastic connectors are missing. I thing i have to rebuild the connectors.
I also made an overview of all aluminium pipes and measured everything up. If any more details are needed, just ask me.
Nearly all parts from the frame:

Can anyone read the numbers on the tube lengths? I can't read them well enough to replicate.
