Thermal model for categories F5J, or good ol' fun at the field!

We are pleased to offer the VP Models as they are true masters of the XPS bagged wing construction methods. The results of this method are very competitive models with a very attractive price point. With a focus on the competition pilot but priced in a range where non-professionals can enjoy them too.

The NOBODY is a great model with a 3.8 meter span and is intended to be a solid performer in the F5J category. The goal was not to build a super light and fragile model, but to create an easy flying ship that can take some abuse and still work as a great model for F5J competitions. All this while keeping some cash in your pocket!


The ship can handle some speed too. The NOBODY is stiff enough longitudinally and torsionally, that there is no need to worry about it falling apart at 5m/s. Testing also took place at 10m/s, as well as impact testing 15m/s, fully loaded with ballast (640g) with no damage. (We don't suggest this at Aloft, but it is great to know that VM tested and adjusted their methods to reach this goal.)

The NOBODY is the perfect aircraft for anyone who does not want to take out a mortgage to fly F5J.

The secret sauce airfoils give the model absolutely perfect flight characteristics in calm thermal conditions, penetration against the wind and controllability. Full camber control of the wing in the hands of an experienced pilot can ensure a wide range of settings for different climatic conditions.

The D-Box:
The wing and tail surfaces are vacuum laminated to an XPS core. In a color variant on a pre-dyed XPS core,  the color is under the laminate surface and looks great. Longitudinal rigidity is ensured by a carbon D-box with a web. Torsional stability is ensured by high-quality glass fabric laid at an angle of 45°. 

Fuselage:
The shoulder mounted wing mounts with screws. The nacelle is made of carbon fabric with reinforcement in exposed areas. A hand-wound carbon tube connects to the tail. The longer nose of the fuselage allows mounting of the new smaller light weight motors without balance problems.

Item received not as pictured - beware
Item not as described. The navy version I ordered showed a colored zipper and a print pattern inside the collar in the description but the one I received is solid navy in color. Not what I wanted or ordered. It fit fine and I liked the weight of the material as it is a little heavier than another Maelreg shirt I ordered which had the same description. Be careful when ordering as the color and weight of the material is certainly not accurate.
