Below is a list of Vortech's helicopter and gyroplane kits. The hobbyist can, of course, save money by building their heli or gyro from scratch, but for those that have the budget there's much to be said for a ready-to-assemble OR already assembled aircraft. For more details on a particular craft, click on its name or contact Vortech directly. You can fax us at 410-668-8518 or phone 410-668-2757 weekdays between 1 & 7pm east-coast time. A Vortech Catalog is available for $10 in the U.S. ($15 foreign). Order from: Vortech, Inc., P.O. Box 511-W, Fallston, Maryland 21047, U.S.A. Orderline: 410-663-8022. See also Online Orderform |
