Would really like to know the wing area and wheel size please.

I have gone for the grey, black and red version. I am going to spray the blue canopy silver and add some "Jolly Rogers" decals I have spare to give it a more military look.

I will be using 66mm Intairco mains and 50mm nosewheel, I think you could use 75mm mains without any problem. I will work out the wing area for you as soon as I get my kit. I don't think Malcolm has any yet, the shots he posted are from the factory. Here are the other colour schemes.

Thanks John!
50mm nose seems way to small for reliable grass field operations. The 75mm mains I like! Thanks for the help!

Here are some better shots of the other colour schemes.

Is it possible to get a clear canopy? A jet looks so much better with a pilot under a canopy.

AD did eventually produce a clear canopy for the Phoenix so I should imagine they will do one for the Scorpion.

In the meantime here is how I am going to dress mine up.

John. Looks a mean machine.

RE: The Scorpion Arrives
 

Has anyone seen a video of one flying yet? If it's available - where? A video is worth ten-thousand words and maybe a sold out first shipment.

RE: The Scorpion Arrives
 

John "Scorpion King" Agnew better make a video for us ;)

How's it hangin' buddy! Long time no hear from, how is the Hawk, Mirage, etc. etc. flying? Lost my Hawk to a TX fault and failsafe lockout, trying to build up the fleet again!

John

RE: The Scorpion Arrives
 

Fine thanks ;)

Bummer about your hawk.......mine is sitting in the corner waitng for some new retracts, and a turbine balance for my JJ-1400.
I bought a second hand Eurosport, which im patching up.......always something to fiddle with :D

RE: The Scorpion Arrives
 

Sonnich

Like the Euro, are you doing a scale scheme?

John

RE: The Scorpion Arrives
 

I like the idea of a video. Any available somewhere? I'll assume its flown someplace!

Dave

RE: The Scorpion Arrives
 

well, as scale as i can :D

I hope it will look like these pics.
I have Ralle`s decals too.

RE: The Scorpion Arrives
 

Cool John, lets have some pics when it arrives.

Photos may be a while, the box was shipped on Wednesday but, according to the tracker number, it is still sitting in the post office at Milly Le Foret! I don't think the French state companies share our sense of urgency, Fedex shipped my 14MZ from Belgium to Scotland in 24 hours.

John

RE: The Scorpion Arrives
 

Yepp, shame 'bout that, I must admit I always try to get stuff sent by one of the major shipping companies, (UPS, etc.). I often send and receive stuff from Mexico via. UPS and it's never more than 2 days max.

Patience is a virtue ehhh ;)

Hello all


This is a video of Segio Testa´s Scorpion at the annual Fly Inn wich this year was held in the city of Valencia, Venezuela.

You can pretty much see it´s performance at low and high speeds. I believe it was pushed by a Ram 750. Take into consideration that it was a very hot day. The video was filmed by a local flyer and just found it in youtube.

WOW!! Thanks for sharing, great demo, looks like it has the potential to be a Bandit beater ;)

Seriously contemplating this one.

Rob

RE: The Scorpion Arrives
 

After watching that i think im going to buy one

Brian

RE: The Scorpion Arrives
 

im impressed as well ... if the plane is built nice and strong, sure makes a good looking alternative to someihtng like a bob cat ... the center line mounted engines sure would make for better manouvering pattern style manouvers ...

i like the looks of this plane too ..


Voy

RE: The Scorpion Arrives
 

Thats one smooothe groov`n plane ;)

RE: The Scorpion Arrives
 

Kinda looks like a DV8R with the twin vertical stabs.....that fighter profile!!!
