I was given a Nemesis II and a Tom Niebuhr Scorpion that need recovering. Both airframes are pristine but the old silkspan covering has become quite brittle. There are no signs of them having been flown. The Scorpion, although having tip weight, balances evenly on the fuselage centerline. It appears to have been built as per the plans as shown on the B. Baxter site and perhaps the recommended tip weight? Should I be adding more tip weight? Also, the uncovered wing is torsionally quite rigid. Should I add sheer webs? Anyone have any experience with this design? It will be used as a sport flyer with an Enya 29 with pressure.
