Matt Brewster Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Any one know where I could obtain the plans for the afore mentioned plane and floats. I think that is the correct name.

Alan Gorham_ Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I think the model Matt is referring to is the "Bunch Scorpion".I was talking to a chap called Dave Kirby at Kielder last weekend who built this model many years ago.I have found that Bob Holman plans in the USA do drawings and laser cut parts for an enlarged version (Scorpion major): http://www.bhplans.com/GMPg4.html Any good?

Alan Gorham_ Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 JimI am cursed with a memory for planes/plans etc. I hope I'm on the right track with this one for Matt, because I remember seeing the Bunch Scorpion fly off water many years ago and it was lovely!I've got your offer of a pint in writing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Brewster Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 Just managed to upload this picture from 1995 RCM&E. I think you may be right it is possibly a Bunch Scorpion. Sorry I took so long to reply to your messages.Many thanks, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Gorham_ Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Hi Matt Your picture does show a Bunch Scorpion. In fact it is the model that was built by Dave Kirby who I mentioned above. I did ask him where he got the plan from - he remembered that it was from the USA but couldn't remember where.The only thing I could find was the scaled up Bunch Scorpion Major that I posted the link to. Apparently the model is capable of a few amusing stunts such as a curving take off on one float. Not bad for a model which is only rudder/elevator.If you do get the plan, bear in mind that the model was originally free flight and as such has a lot of positive wing incidence that you should reduce by packing up the trailing edge of the wing. This will stop the model from climbing madly under power. Also you will have to add a rudder and elevator but it's all straightforward stuff.

Bill Hardy Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I have a plan for this model which was given to me by Jim Carss a few years ago.I saw the model he built and it practicaly flew on its own one windy day! What a flier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo565 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Bill Our plan is not the one Matt is after,he is after the Bunch Scorpion, the float version,ours is the old KK Super Scorpion with the tapered eliptical wings.The weather in Spain must be bad if you have time to peruse the forum,hope you had a good xmas,all the best for new year.Jimbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
