Default RE: Vertigo from the 70's


ORIGINAL: pimmnz

Vertigo 2, Frank van den Berg, published in Radio Modeller (RM11) 1967. I have a magazine reproduction of the plan and I belive that there may be a full size plan available if I buy an unfinished one that is up for sale at the local model shop... pm me with your email if you can't find anything closer.

I wonder if it is a different model with the same name?

The Vertigo by Tom Cook that I'm talking about resembled Don Lowe's Phoenix somewhat. Swept wings, no box fuselage, etc. I think I recall that my friend said that he met the designer (Tom Cook) of his Vertigo at the Nats one year. It was a fiberglass (polyester resin) and foam kit and was an early effort of an aspiring pattern pilot from Tennesse, Kentucky or Ohio. My friend powered his with a Super Tigre G60 Bluehead (flat piston). It did a fine job of hauling the Vertigo around the pattern.
