Speaking of upscales, here's my upscaled Estes Scamp that I flew at NSL 06 on a Roadrunner G80-10. Yes, I did get it back (by a miracle...)

What the....?
Anyone care to comment on this discrepancy? It seems it might definitely affect the CP and CG of the model. On closer inspection, it also seems that the rear tube supports are reversed from the instruction diagrams.

Take a look at this Scorpius build thread from TRF. Both of the builders (JBeau and huxley) built theirs with the forward and aft engine pod supports in the rearward positions. That's also how Fore Check built his upscale. http://www.rocketryforum.com/showth...&threadid=24214

That's how I built mine the year it came out (as seen in this vintage photo). I think the picture in the instructions was a mistake...

It's just a case of sloppy illustrations. The catalog photo shows the model had the forward supports in the rear position, just like those back-page images. Match the photos of the model to be sure.

Study the RockSim file. The fins on the simulation are the same size as the ones on the model, just shown in the wrong place. The effect on stability will be the same as on the model.
