Skyray 35 plans are available from SIG and since they are copyrighted I would suggest you get them that way.

Since you are building from scratch, there are some suggested improvements to the Skyray 35. Use balsa full ribs instead of the plywood ribs and half-ribs, use a two wheel landing gear, variable wingtip weight, adjustable leadouts. Brett Buck suggested the first mods I remember reading about. You can probably do a search on the Skyray to see various suggestions.

I decided to build one from scratch also but I made some other changes that included:

1) foam wing with 1/32 balsa skins

2) electronic single channel throttle control, servo, battery and on/off switch was buried inside the wing

3) built up profile fuselage, 1/16 balsa sides with 3/8" square sticks inside, this proved to be stiffer than the typical 1/2" thick solid balsa fuselage

4) Fiberglassed and then painted the model with latex house paint with nelson clear coat

The model flew great and I did not change any of the dimensions.

Fred,

How did the 1/32" wing skin work out? I've heard some that said 1/32" is too thin to lay flat.

I have built several models with 1/32" balsa skins with no problem. I have used the southern sourgum for bonding the skin. I also fiberglass my models and paint them with latex house paint.
