Air Road Scorpion Extraction Improved Technology (A.R.S.E iT) is a further development of the standard desert patrol Scorpion trike.

The brief I gave myself was to mate a Lysander infiltration/exfiltration WW2 type aircraft, with a Land Rover Snatch type infiltration/exfiltration vehicle.

The upgrades include an improved folding wing and empennage system, with integral LBP turbojets, with uprated front suspension and wider track for stability.

1 activates the jets,
2 activates ground motor and steering.

The rest you'll figure out.... It's not high performance, and it handles much like a glider - slow, gentle inputs and you'll be fine.
