Guys I know it looks like madness as this thing is not cheap but I had to, had a good input with the designer and have seen this come to production,

It looks different and he'll at its price it's going to end up very exclusive,

i saw a shot of this on facebook yesterday, very interesting design. It should be super quick with it having such a slim profile and tubular arms.

Looking forward to this build.

That was a great flight, sweet acceleration and agility and the tune was very fitting as well.

Do you know what these frames will retail for?

Was that a Sierra cosworth in the background, very rare car these days. A mate of mine has one that he treats like a baby in a heated garage it only comes out on sunny days but he does kick the are out of it. Lol

Yeah nice cossy in the background have a good affiliation with them myself,

Ah the price, that would be um 150 notes as he wistles and looks away, and the video was the team pilots handy work,

Wow that's expensive.

Is the body section the same nylon plastic stuff the gravity is made of?

Yes mate its quality, had lots of info on this for quite some time and have followed with Mr Fossil all the design and trial stuff,

the ally motor mounts and fittings are very nice, and the chassis is really strong, no lifetime guarantee with this one but I see it being used mainly by racers and hence not take a huge battering,

But even though this frame is expensive it will cost less than your scorpion in the end, :)

Well I have had the kit about 2 weeks and done some progress. This was always going to be a steady build and not a quick one as I wanted it perfect.

So here is a few pics of where I have got to and how tight it is

Unusual and different build Kev:)everything looks well protected, nicely laid out:) Are the bullet connections a sacrifice point in the event of a rip out in a crash?
