Andy Green Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I made one from foam, with a single covering of glass cloth for my Candoo. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, Douglas So sorry about the delayed reply to your initial enquiry Douglas, but the necessity of working shifts sometimes means that I can't answer 'Vortex' messages (or calls) quite as quickly as i'd like to. Having said that, and after reviewing mt email records, I don't think that I did too bad a job, as your message was sent at approximately 15:40hrs on 30th July 2015 and I replied at approx' 15:30 on 31st July 2015. For general reference, I would like to take this opportunity to confirm that Vortex Vacforms remains an independent supplier of bespoke, replacement and upgrade plastic components for Radio-Control Aero-modellers. We can be contacted via: Email: [email protected] Telephone: 0116 220 7080 Website: vortex-vacforms.co.uk As a last resort, we also have a Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/Vortex.Vacforms although due to the aforementioned anti-social hours of working shifts, it isn't a priority at the moment although there ae some nice images of components and customers models to have a look at. However you choose to contact us, please be assured that all enquiries will and do get a response as soon as is reasonably possible. Regards, Steve Davis - Vortex Vacforms p.s. Douglas, email sent ref. payment & canopy delivery, thank you. Edited By Vortex Vacforms on 07/08/2015 21:47:17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Leighfield Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I still have my Fizza built from the free plan years ago. Mine has the Vortex canopy and it's very good. I've bought a number of items from Steve over the years and never had any cause for complaint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Wheelhouse 1 Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 Hi Colin, Sorry about the delay in answering mate, I have a canopy winging its way in the mail to me from Steve . What sort of performance did it have?, & what power and prop combination did you use. Ready for its maiden when the canopy is on. Just started its bigger brother the "Wizza". Did you make one & if so what power train did you use, Sorry for all the questions, but information is always good, Cheers, Douglas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Leighfield Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Hi Douglas. This is mine. It must be 10 years since I built it from the free plan. I can't remember all of the detail, but I will get it down from the garage loft and have a reminder look, I will let you know. It goes straight out of your hand, has a very wide speed range and no vices. I ought to fly it again. I fancied doing the Whizza, but never got around to it. However, I've see one or two and they fly very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Wheelhouse 1 Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 Hi Colin, Thanks for your reply, the Fizza Looks great. If you fancy the Wizza , I have the plan & will gladly copy it for you if you would like me to & I will mail it to you. Just send your name & address & I will pop it in the mail. Cheers, Douglas.

Colin Leighfield Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 That's very kind Douglas, but I think I've got it. Will get back to you on the Fizza asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
