Default RE: What planes are your Diesels in?

Hi Mike,
The Super Scorpion is a Ben Buckle plan (you can get it via BB's Ebay store), about 66" span.

It's a perfect match for the PAW 35 but I've also flown it with a Mills 5 cc (Indian copy of a big prototype Mills that never went into production) and an original DC Wildcat as well.

I can highly recommend it as an entertaining build.

Flies really well, tracks well on take off, loops are great and even with the tiny rudder it will do nice barrelly rolls.

Zero Dutch rolling so you can play as much as you like, or leave it alone as you wish.

Only thing you will find is that it needs heaps of downthrust or you can do as I did and mix down elevator in with throttle.
The elevator goes from about 1/4" down at low throttle to about 1/2" down at full throttle.

Go ahead, you'll love it!
