Overview
I built this airframe about two years ago, and like many things I build, sat idle until now. I finally got around to turning it into something. Originally, it was intended to be a drone, but I decided to make an X-29ish fighter that would be an upgrade to my EAS-435 Pulsar. As far as roles, and unlike the much larger Charioteer, I built a few months back, the Scorpion is intended to be an interceptor with an emphasis on dogfighting. It's small enough to be kept at a small operating base or carriers, defending key locations. The landing gear may look odd, but it's designed to have lots of spring to it and help with hard landings, it should uncurl once you load it into the world. The inside is nothing crazy or fancy, just basic straightforward buttons, switches, and screens. There may be some updates in the future, but for now, it's being posted for testing.

@EchoWhiskey11 I wasn't taking the credit for getting you to platinum, I was just trying to be nice and get you the rest of the way there. I saw that you was close and you are a fantastic builder so I figured if I took the time to go through and upvote all of your planes that it would be just enough to get you to platinum. I wasn't taking credit, I was congratulating a great builder on a milestone...
@MitchellAviation Thanks, I got the community to thank.
@EchoWhiskey11 Enjoy Platinum bro. Congratulations!!!!
@AcePlayer Thanks
Amazing bro
@Bread12Ninja Sorry, got a little carried away with this one.
I cant download it 🥲cuz it's to big for my device..
The plane is a work of art no questions asked. You made a really cool design and it flies really well.
Love this overall airframe shape! And so smooth!
