Vortex Services
Vortex Services Predator
Predator
Current World & European Championship craft. Designed by Paul Hibbard (ex Bradfield student) this is a very serious piece of equipment. Specifications are rather vague as it is dependant on how fast you want to go and how much you can afford. This is not a cheap craft to build or maintain, there again neither is a Porsche or a Ferrari,
If you are serious about owning one of these craft then contact me so we can discuss it.
In addition to this craft being the top F1 craft in the World, it is also suitable for F1X (UK) and F2 World, Europe and UK. The owner of Vortex Services races a Predator in F1X with a Rotax 503 for thrust and a Rotax 253 for lift. This craft is also fitted with a high pressure bag skirt.
