Jason,

By the way, there is a SIG Skyray (.049) and a SIG Skyray 35 (.35). The 1/2A size is a sheet wing model with radial engine mount.

My Skyray 35 is basicly the kit with a modified wing. I used balsa ribs in both the full rib and half rib positions as recommended by a top flyer on one of the other sites. Now I have a whole bunch of plywood rib templates for the next one.

The Skyray 35 has full-size plans which allows you to either build another one from scratch or make replacement parts when (not if) you crash. Some models only have an isometric construction drawing to show you how to assemble it. If you build that type, trace around all the parts on back of the plans (or another sheet) so you can make replacement parts.

There is/was a video titled, "Introduction to Control Line" that shows how to build and fly both the Skyray and Skyray 35. It MAY be available from SIG. You might ask at your local hobby shop or ask some flyers in your area about it. Since you are relatively new to CL, I would highly recommend it.
