Why not fly a Scorpion? It's ridiculously cheap to buy and run - less than £3 an hour running costs - the first production The SCORPION is a really rugged machine - we've used only the best materials on her - we think she deserves them - Her performance needs to be seen to be believed - so we don't propose to blind you with science - but can we suggest that you contact your local dealer and see for yourself - we think you will agree that we have produced - after many hours of sweat and toil - the best microlight around, at a price which won't upset the wife. Available in single or dual seat version.
