Please visit https://www.horizonhobby.com/super-scorpion-90mm-pnp-p-fmm099p for more information on the FMS Super Scorpion PNP, 90mm.
The exciting FMS 90mm Super Scorpion takes inspiration from our popular 70mm version to bring you a larger jet with all the benefits “going bigger” can provide. The result is a feature rich rocket ship that’s easy to handle whether you just want to cruise around or shoot through the sky like a speeding bullet. Functional flaps increase your flight envelope even further. Wide-track landing gear offers stable ground handling and is enhanced with the incorporation of all-metal, electric retracts that include shock-absorption and large wheels for smooth operation from paved or grass airfields. All eight control surfaces are individually linked with a dedicated metal-gear micro servo. Plus, you’ll enjoy the precision and adjustability of ball-link equipped linkages.
The FMS 90mm Super Scorpion bolts together quickly; no glue required. Of course the lightweight construction with EPO means you can also count on a high-level of durability and performance. The power system utilizes a sweet-sounding 90mm 12-blade EDF system driven by a 3546-1900Kv brushless motor and 130A ESC combination for tremendous acceleration and speed when coupled with your high-C, 6S LiPo battery. If a twin-tail sport EDF has you excited about jet aerobatics, this Super Scorpion will not disappoint.

There are several anchor systems to choose from. In this video, we review the “Sliding X.” This is an anchor which has gone in and out of style through the years, and has some pitfalls. It is not our most recommended anchor style, but we discuss it here so that you are familiar with if, how, and when to use it.
The main benefit of the Sliding X is that it can automatically adjust the equalization point; therefore, it can be a good choice for a wandering climb, where the climber will traverse while climbing to the anchor.
2 – Pre-existing bolts and hangers
2 – Double-length slings
2 – Non-locking carabiners
AND
1 – Locking carabiner -and- 1 non-locking carabiner
OR
2 – non locking carabiners
OR
2 – locking carabiners for the Master Point
Step 1 – Clip the 2 non-locking carabiners into the bolted anchor points (one carabiner for each bolt hanger).
Step 2 – Clip two double length slings (for redundancy) into each carabiner, and pull in the direction of the climber.
Step 3 – Holding each “half” of the double length sling in one hand, which means you’ll have two strands in each hand, flip one to create a loop. This marks the X of the Sliding X.
Step 4 – Clip all four strands with two opposite and opposed carabiners. The carabiners should slide smoothly from side to side as the slings adjust the equalization point.
NOTE: At no point should the Master Point (which is less defined in this anchor, but is where the opposite and opposed carabiners rest) drop down and shock load either piece of the anchor. This is possible with the Sliding X if one of the bolts were to fail (and violates SRENE, see video). For this reason, we use two double length slings so we are very confident in the strength of the slings, and two unquestionably solid bolts.
