Thanks for your comments, however, I would like to add one thing about
what you said....

b) You are 'rebuilding' what sounds like a defunct homebuilt kit that
someone else gave up on.

The Scorpion was originally supplied as a kit made by Rotorway
Aircraft. It looks like this one is one of the earlier ones. The
basic design is almost exactly the same as the Rotorway Exec's
currently being sold. The Exec has a bigger engine, two places, a
beefed up frame and a better control system. However, it still uses
belts, chains, and the same basic hub design.

For this particular one, it apparently sat in the crates until about
10 years ago when it was finally assembled. There is plenty of
cosmetic stuff, but I do plan to strip it down to the frame, test and
rebuild everything.

Again, I appreciate your words of caution and rest assured that I
won't be taking any unnecessary risks. The ship will be balanced
before it gets to leave the ground. The necessary instructions came
with the kit.
