Default RE: Vertigo 3D

I'm going to do the turn-keys for $525.00. That includes everything! even crystal and receiver. (Kit, electronics, covering, glue, TIME, props) If you think about it... on some models you'll spend over half of that price in just motor and speed controls.

A great charger that I have been using is the "Apache" li-poly charger. I have 7 packs, and I can charge all 7 after I get done flying that evening and ready for the next morning. it takes anywere from 1 hour, to an hour and a half to charge a battery depending on how much you run the pack down. If you call dave, just tell him you want the charger I have been using. He'll know what your talking about.

About the wheelpants, I am a stickler for them as well. I WILL NOT fly an airplane without wheelpants. (unless it's a cub). I have designed them so that they are light, but durable. Also, make sure you glue them on with canopy glue, or a rubberized glue of some sort, that way if you have a hard landing for some reason it just pivots them on the axle instead of ripping them off.

I have just completed the first 125% vertigo yesterday and i love it! It's just as fun as the little one, but not as much of a hot rod. The flying weight for the SO Vertigo (slightly oversized) is 14 oz. It is a big kite! Same construction, just bigger ( a lot bigger). It uses the same power system as the little one and still does everything! They will be available soon, but i want to do more testing before i let people invest their money in them.

Thanks!
