scorpio condor magic 2.9

[cjv]

hi, I'm looking for a Scorpio Condor, where can I get one stateside?

Good question cjv and one which I am asking myself at the moment. I understand that Hobby Lobby may be involved and as they are one of my suppliers I will email and see what they say. I am thinking of an electric version to get back into soaring with.

Well the reply to my email told me that the Condor was listed on their site just today... perfect timing I belive.... and here it is

Looks very good in the video. I always wonder about wing strength with ready builts, but it looks stiff enough through the loops. I am very tempted and wonder what power systems will suit for a more sedate climb... a more economical system too. Hope this helps cjv.

I didnt buy the Condor :( reason being that it is too heavy for the spare drives that I have around and i dont want to buy another one right now.

I really do appreciate all the info you guys have brought up on this plane, I couldnt find much about it when I looked into it before. i finished the higlander I mentioned earlier and am done with it, not my kind of sailplane, thinking of doing a 2m skybench lilbird with the drive from it instead.
