Yes, it uses a 110 HP evinrude. In those days, the evinrude was the best choice for a vertically running engine. I'm not so crazy about it being 2-cycle, but it is and it works. It will also fly when I am done with it. Dennis H. There's a sketch of your Scorpion and a bit of history at http://avia.russian.ee/vertigo/scorpion-r.html Yes, it looks good. Improved all-aluminum rotor blades are mentioned. Be careful with your deteriorated 35 year-old blades with only 25 hours on them, they apparently weren't too great when they were new. |
