Vintage RC Helicopters - Morley Lynx - Scout

Morley Lynx - Scout

Morley Lynx - Scout 

The Lynx was originally to be available around 1985 but with the Hughes 300 being so popular and the introduction of the Agusta 109 meant that development was put on hold until after the introduction of the MXA which it was revamped to use as the donor mechanics.

   

In addition to the dedicated scale models of the range such as Hughes 300 and Augusta 109, Morley produced a couple of body kits to convert other 'donor' mechanics into scale machines.

Modelled on the Army version with skids which the recommended MXA mechanics proved to be ideally suited.

In 2011 my NIB Lynx kit was used as the base mould for producing fuselages incorporating T-rex mechanics.

Morley Scout (1988)

Based around the Hughes 300 mechanics.  Although dedicated scale model in itself, the layout of the metal body frame proved ideal as mechanics for the Scouts 'tubby' shape with exposed upper turbine.
