I recently exchanged emails with Bruce regarding the Delta Vortex. He's out
of DV kits right now. He's concentrating on the Super Flyin King, Venture
60, and his jet. He's pretty much a one man company, so some things go on
the back burner. He has no idea when the DV will be back. Cermark does sell
an ARF version that has been blessed by Bruce.

Thanks, guys.

I knew of BTE. I just finished a E version of his Venture 60 and am
very impressed with the quality of his kits. I was just hoping to
save a few bucks by buying one from someone who decided not to build
the one they bought. I'll keep looking.

What can you tell me about your e-flight conversion of the Venture 60. I've
got a kit on the shelf and was thinking of the same conversion. What
motor/battery/prop setup did you go with? Did you do any structural mods?
What kind of performance do you get with it? Thanks in advance.

If you still have more questions, let me know. I built the "E"
version of the Venture 60 and it flies great. At full throttle on
takeoff it doesn't even roll, it just goes up. Right now I'm running
it on 20 4/5FAUP cells which cost me around $90 and I get a little
over 9 minutes flying with throttle management.
Good luck with yours.

Hmmm... If somebody would publish some measurements on the Delta Vortex, the
original poster might be able to build his own. It's a wing, so it should
be fairly easy to build from scratch with balsa, cut from foam, or even
folded from some Coroplast. I have a number of .40 and .46 engines looking
for homes and would like to try my hand at a .40 size Delta Vortex-like
model.
