Dear All,

Took me several years to finally get to this : Presenting before you all, this Independence day the brand new online store :
www.Vortex-RC.com

FB : https://www.facebook.com/VortexRC
YouTube: http://youtube.com/VortexRCIndia

Well, this is not going to be just yet another online store, at Vortex-RC we take pride in creating and building innovative gear for our aeromodellors. Not yet another reseller shop around.

Our store launch comes with 2 very creative product lines : The VT-AllRounder and the VT-Speedster.

The VT-AllRounder was designed for the beginner RC hobbyist in mind. A unique design, that allows the hobbyist to graduate from trainer to intermediate and expert flying levels, simply by swapping wings on the same airplane - No need own a fleet of airplanes. Just one fuselage, and 3 wings ! Laser cut Coro Fuselage, Hot wire CNC Airfoil wings

The VT-Speedster, and the PRO edition are Flying wings - each having their own place. Super resilient, fast and zippy, yet easy to launch and land. The PRO edition includes a GoPRO camera mount and a blunt edge to carry 2x 2200mah 3S easily.

All our kits include everything you could possibly need - Adhesives, hobby knife, even sandpaper !

Both models come with detailed illustrated build manuals, of over 40 pages. and full build videos, covering each and every step of the build.

Check out the website www.Vortex-RC.com , and very soon shall be posting separate threads for each of the airplanes, over here shortly.

Happy Independence Day , and hope the entire community benefits from a truly "Made in India" aeromodel.

-Gaurav

Actually Cheque method is the same as NEFT/Bank transfer.. Ill get the title changed. You can select Payment mode as cheque and do a deposit via NEFT

We have tried to do all the hard work before offering this, so lots of kits in stock and ships out same or at most next day.

Gaurav, congrats n best of luck. pl, pl keep a very close eye on the quality aspect. Make the Chinese models / products run for their money.

Awesome Sir.
Best of Luck.

Absolutely, that was the idea. Check out the manuals here :

VT-Speedster: http://vortex-rc.com/manuals/VT-Speedster%20Instructional%20Manual%202.0.pdf (24 pages)

Finally someone thought of adding servo extension cables in the kit. Well done and good luck. Speedster Pro for me.

Thanks. A lot of thought went into putting these together. We put in just about everything one needed to build except for radio, battery and charger. I am happy that the community acknowledges these small nuances.

@rcparkjets: thank you

Well done guys 
(Utkarsh has come a long way from wanting my 24" bipe just a few months back )

All you need now is to find a way to supply a 2 channel (upgradable) radio for under Rs 1500!

Wonder if Mr Gaurav Agarwal knew one Sq Ldr Tariq Ali, an old time aeromodeller from Allahabad.

Just noticed that gauravag is member number 51 of this forum.
He introduced himself in a 2009 post, but never updated till encouraged by an unknown guy called rcpilotagro (doubtless a cropduster pilot) in April this year.
(Gusty's pals will kill me...)

I've never met gauravag, but got a feel for the background of Vortex from this thread:
http://www.rcindia.org/rc-people/gaurav-agarwal-from-allahabad-up/msg185039/#msg185039

Been privy to intricate details and colossal efforts towards the  development and progress on the website and kits for quite some time now, I am feeling  really happy that you could pull this magnificent task for the benefit of all us. My Congratulations to you Gaurav on this achievement. Speedster  Pro wing for me and the large scale wing like a Zepher/ Caimera from  the future projects in pipeline.                 

CONGRATS "VORTEX-RC"

just Gone through both the Manuals...

Amazingly built and detailed description will make beginners life easy as a pie....specially me 

I bet this would not have been so easy and time consuming

Pricing will give most of the LHS owners a huge heart attack  (LHS owners: M just kidding here) 

I promise to buy all the wings as soon as my budget allows

regards
mada

I have one small suggestion here....considering I'm still learning and may have stupid questions as well.......please ignore my suggestion if am wrong......

It will be great if you include folding props in both the models kits...

If not added in the kit itself....you can stock them as an upgrade option....

I have been struggling to find some pusher folding props around LHS.

Just saw all the vids for SpeedSter model....great effort team Vortex-RC ..... 


3rd vid is showin private...I guess its the one with motor mount and electronics installation....

Thank You ! Indeed that one video was marked private, and I have changed it to Public now. Thanks for pointing that out.

Re: Folding props, Actually both our current models - the VT-AllRounder and VT-Speedster (and PRO) do not require folding props. VT-Allrounder uses prop saver rubber bands and Speedster being a pusher, hardly faces prop damage.
Still shall keep your suggestion in mind . Going to offer some more cool products pretty soon !

Thanks for the appreciation KKIyer. Indeed I knew Tariq uncle very very well. He was a close friend, mentor and an aeromodelling ideal for me. We spent beautiful days at the field and building planes together. Top class person, royal, and very talented.

Great Efforts Gauravag Sir. Highly appreciate 

@gauravag- A great initiative sir! I was waiting to make a Fpv wing but now I guess I wouldn't need to . Would like to see a range of FPV gear from you and other stuff soon!
All the best!
