Scorpion 600


The Scorpion was ptimistically referred to as the 600 in the USA when even the manufacturers only claimed a conservative 4 oz. In Aeromodeller testing, it was reported to average 5 oz. and was accepted as the most powerful motor in the range until the 50R Rocket Motor was manufactured.

Specifically designed for duration models, the charge was hollowed on top, which prevented the initial surge and aided wick loading.

The Scorpion's outstanding feature was easy loading and attachment to the model. Stainless steel was used for the end plates, so it could also accept Sebel fuel.
