Features of the "Skylark":

  • Full helicopter flight: vertical take-offs & landings; forward, backward & sideward flight; hovering.
  • Standard helicopter control system
  • All-aluminum main- & tail-rotor blades
  • Aircraft-grade steel & aluminum airframe & major components, plus all AN hardware
  • Full instrumentation

Are there any provisions for an alternate engine choice that would utilize the heavier four stroke variety? Dads don't let their children fly two strokers in helicopters. What other engine would work?

I bought a Helicopter from Joe Levin years ago and never got it. I contacted his advertisers and every u /l and p /r chapter and basically had to harrase him into giving my money back Although I had to take payments from him over 2c years. He filed bankruptcy and change the company from helicraft to vortec. He cannot be trusted

Hi, how much does it cost? If price would be acceptable, I will find many buyers in Poland.
Best wishes

Plans for aircraft came from Cicare in Buenos Aires.Engine type and mounting left up to builder. I built the unit you see in the pictures back in '89. Never did collect all money owed from Levin. Anyone know where he is?

I have spoken with Joel @ Vortech on many occasions he seems to be well informed about his product and has even instructed me to stay away from certian aircraft, as far as this ship being a "Death Trap" or "Flying Coffin" I really think that the major problems are due to builders thinking that they know more than the designers and making changes to the aircraft, such as the gentkeman who wished to know how to make this ship into a two seater, well, it was never ment to be a two seater, but I bet we'll all hear about how crappy the ship is after he builds a two seater and kill himself!!! you know the old saying, if you dont like it, leave it!!

This appears to be exactly the same as the Furia. Someone copied someone and the Vortech skylark plans are identical to the furia. Does anyone know of completed Skylarks or Furia's? The Skylark is at: http: / /www.vortechonline.com /skylark /
and the Furia is at:
http: / /www.plansdelivery.com /furia4.htm
You can discuss your finds /knowledge at:
Yahoo group Helicopter_Forum or email me..
