Default RE: Sun Ray biplane


ORIGINAL: resin

I vaguely recall the Sun Ray as it appeared in the model magazine, but for those of us who require a little refresher, what's the wing span, wing area, and the size of the engine you'll be using?

Looking forward to seeing your model all framed up. Will you be putting wheel pants of your Sun Ray?

Interesting build,

Keith

Specifications added to the opening post.

I decided to use my NIB K&B 61 with Perry carburetor. I'm preparing to send the engine to original designer Clarence Lee for PDP porting and blue printing. He offers this service for $28.50 plus $7.50 shipping as seen in Model Aviation magazine classified adds. I've heard these old K&B's with Lee's mods have very impressive performance.

Neat idea but I'm not planning to use wheel pants. Just some cool old Kraft Streamline wheels. Retracts would be ultimate!
