Now that the Sparky kit from Thunder Tiger is no longer available, the Scooter fills the void left by that delightful little flier.

The Scooter is a sports cabin model designed in the old timer style. It is all built up out of balsa and ply (easy to fix) and covered with Ultracote heat shrink film. The wings are eliptical with a slight amount of polyhedral

For a relaxed Sunday flier, you could not do better. Try stooging around in calm conditions with this lovely little aircraft.

The Scooter is designed for a glow motor and comes with bearers fitted - you will need to use a motor that you can strap to the bearers of add a new former and rear mount a small outrunner.

Any motor could be used, for example a Scorpion 2208-1100 with a Hyperion 25A controller and an 12x6" APC-SF propeller on an 850-2S LiPo pack delivering 10A and 400g of thrust.

Specifications:
Wingspan - 1455mm
Length - 900mm
Wing area - 25.5 sq.dec.
Flying weight - 750kg
Radio - 3 channels required
Controls - rudder, elevator, motor

Price for a lovely little ARF like this: $119
