Title: A Quicker and a Scorpion
Post by: Ara Dedekian on June 21, 2018, 08:54:26 PM

        First flight of the Scorpion today. It was a silkspan covered relic that I fixed and recovered in dress shop Rayon overlaid with Phil's SLC. An Enya 29 on pressure for power. A stable, fun flyer.

        I swapped my Old Time Buzzard Bombshell for the Quicker at an RC swap meet. It came with a poor running slant plug Fox 29 that I replaced with the 36. It's covered in silkspan. It too flies well but turns tighter than the Scorpion.

        Just flying them for fun at GX speeds

Plane look great nd old designs are fun to fly  and bore holes in the air.   Still trying to motivated to complete the launcher I have running through this empty head of mine. H^^

I had a plane very similar to the Scorpion, but with a sheeted leading edge, Spectrum maybe.  It flew well on a G.21.  Don't remember what happened to it.  I'll have to dig around some.

We had discussions about this aircraft"Scorpion". Many many years ago.  Basically a minor modified Voodoo.  Two booms , inside wing one rib more than the outside, balsa shaped motor mount.  All being Voodoo attributes.
