Not a Vortex, but the NeneQ I flew at the 2018 Nats first flew at the Winterfest in January 2005. It’s still sitting on my wall ready to go.

Re: The Vortex Challenge!
Not sure of the number, but it has to be either 2007 or 2008 vintage.. I know there is a Neme Q older than yours Gary, just sold #33 that was from around 2000..

Re: The Vortex Challenge!
I finally killed #187 last weekend, after many years and at least one rebuild. I think it was originally flown by Randy Bridge, because it said "Smoke" on the side.
Well, now it's smoked!
