View Full Version : Scorpion 133
Hi
I am looking for cheap helicopters, on the web, and I like the little ugly
Scorpion 133
So, I am curious, how they a to fly? And also compared to a Robinson 22?

I hear that the Robinson 22 is much prettier to fly than the ugly
Scorpion 133

Unless the RW133 has the elastomeric upgrades they are a real handful to fly.
Very few survived. I have only known a few who were ever able to tame a
Scorpion.

"Cheap" and "helicopters" don't go together, or any aircraft for that matter.

Hey Ken..... We don't hear too much from you these days.
How are you and the co-pilot doing these days.
I presume the bottomless pit is as hungry as ever.
Catch us up on your exploits.
Curious minds always want to know.
Scorpions aren't ugly. If you want ugly, buy a Brantly. If your
Scorpion is ugly, then it may be needing some freash paint.
The Scorpion 133 should not be flown in its native state. However,
the last I heard, Rotorway sells an upgrade kit to convert it to the
elastomeric system. Once installed, the Scorpion will be almost as
good as an Exec.

OK
the scorpion 133 is not the most ugly, but it is cheap compared to R22
So no one has fly this machine in this forum. To bad!
Thanks for the respond

I have one that I am converting to a new control system, but it is not
flying at this time. Check with waitman.com for conversion kits.

Hi again
I have been all over the net for details, and at last I found this.
http://www.rotorwayownersgroup.com/
Maybe here, I will find the answer to my question, "is there a different
between the 133 and R22
Have fun

I assume you mean "Is there a difference between the Rotorway Scorpion
133 and Robinson R22?" I wouldn't ask that question on that forum.
You'll probably get run off.
There are too many differences to enumerate. One is a kit helicopter
made by Rotorway and the other is a commercial helicopter made by
Robinson. Other than the fact that they are both helicopters, there
are very few similarities beyond that.

Hi again
I assume you mean, "Is there a difference between the Rotorway Scorpion
133 and Robinson R22?"
My original question was "I am curious, how they a to fly? compared to a
Robinson 22?"
In other words, when you hover, is it more difficult in a scorpion 133 then
a Robinson 22
Is the shaking more violent in a scorpion then a Robinson 22 despite
elastomeric upgrades
Have fun

I don't have my Scorpion flying at this time so I can't compare. The
R22 doesn't have any noticable cyclic shake if that was what you were
referring to.
