Super Scorpion 1100mm (70mm edf)

OVERVIEW:

The Super Scorpion is a unique and sleek sport jet normally found among the ranks of the composite/gas turbine crowd. Thanks to 3d-printing, it is now possible to build your very own 1100mm version of this iconic sport model. Below is a breakdown of the components and design of this model:

DESIGN:
Designed for quick, easy construction and printed all in PLA, the modular design aspect of this model lends itself beautifully for both easy disassembly for transport as well as quick repair should it sustain damage.Utilizing 6 channel controls; Aileron, Elevator, Rudder, Throttle, Flaps and Retractable landing gear, this model holds a fantastic presence in the air, while its flight characteristics have been described as "glued to the rails”.

FUSELAGE:
Built around the specifications and performance of the X-fly 70mm EDF, this model has more than enough power to perform all manner of aerobatic maneuvers. The Edf is also removable thanks to the hatch on the underside of the Fuselage. The Canopy is secured with a printed spring latch to ensure a secure lock no matter what g-forces are thrown at it.

WINGS:
Designed to be quickly removable for transport, the wings boast a large area making the slow flying characteristics stable and easy to handle. Featuring slots for carbon tubes, the wing structure is sure to manage all sorts of aerobatic maneuvers. Washout in the wingtips ensures that the stall is very docile and manageable. The inclusion of slotted flaps mean that landings are very floaty and be used to slow the model down nicely for short runways.

TAIL:
A full flying tail means elevator authority will always be sharp and precise. These can also be programmed depending on the performance expectations. Firstly in the conventional style with the full flying tail handling just pitch, or it can be tasked as stabilators, controlling both roll and pitch. The latter will "wow” the crowds with an impressive roll rate, making even the most agile of 3D aerobatic models envious.

UNDERCARRIAGE:
The retractable gear will add another layer of scale detail whilst significantly reducing drag. Designed to accommodate commercially available sprung gear legs, takeoffs and landings from both bumpy grass or hard surface runways will be smooth and safe.
