The CTH Vertigo 40" FPV Racer is designed to be the toughest FPV plane on the Planet.  We designed this racer not only to make the racing gate but knock the gate down and keep on flying.  It is cut from incredibly tough EPP foam to protect your radio and FPV gear and give the plane a long life.  

We asked Michael to help us evaluate the new Vertigo 40" FPV Racer after we saw his incredible flying skill in the videos above and below. With his input and expertise we have a great design with a wide speed envelope and great performance and stability.

We love the flying characteristics, stability and durability.  We are using the flat spar in the plane to keep the build lighter and easier.  This is the same method we installed the spar in the Assassin hitting the brick wall video. 

When you are building please follow the Assassin building Instructions with the exception the CG is 7.25" back.  

The Vertigo flies well at 1/3 throttle with a 3530-1700KV motor and accelerates straight up and can fly at 80 mph on a 3S battery and over 100+ mph with a 4S battery! The Vertigo 40" FPV Racer airfoil was chosen because it creates a great deal of lift for its size so it can carry the racing FPV gear.  It also has a wide speed range from ballistic fast to stable and slow. We designed the plane so it can be built light so that it will be able to slow down for tight turns without snap rolling or tip stalling.

The Vertigo has larger fins for better tracking for live video down links.  It comes with 15 feet of laminate, 15 feet of shock cord and longer elevons.  You will love this plane!!!

For FPV information and suggestions read our "FPV for Beginners" article.  The article discusses FPV theory and gives a suggested FPV set up.

We intentionally design our planes to fly with inexpensive motors, speed controls and low cost metal gear servos to help you get more out of your hobby budget.  We always look for the best design for carrying and protecting your FPV gear.  

Buy 5 and we will give you a 6th one for free!!!  

When built light with a flying weight (AUW) of around 24-28 oz it will go straight up with a 3530-1700KV motor and a 2600 mA 3S battery.  It has a flight speed of about 15-85 mph with the recommended motor.  It will fly over 100 mph with a 4S set up and the same motor.  It is designed to fly with a large prop and lower RPM to make it quieter and neighbor friendly.
