This is a very very quick build thread of the Aviation Design Scorpion.
This kit is a very quick build, should not take more than a 2 to 3 weeks to finish.
Specs: Span: 70” - Length: 83’’ - Weight: 27lbs dry.
This is the RedBull version with JR8411 throughout except for the stabs which use JR8611. Radio is Furaba FASST 2.4GHz, and turbine is Behotec JB180 Kero start.
Tank is Kevlar 4L and ECU battery is a 3 cell LiPo 5350mAh and Rx is 2 cell LiPo 4250mAh with regulator. Retracts are Behotec C36/2 with upgraded twin nose wheel strut.
No weight is needed in the nose, CG should be set at or around the main struts.
This is my 2nd Scorpion, the first was sold to a local flier who still enjoys flying it.
Test flight is scheduled for either tomorrow or in the coming week.
Video link below is of another local flier who tested his RedBull Scorpion a couple of weeks ago.
Will update when test flight is done.
