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.

Best LitRPG
Format: Kindle
This is absolutely the best litRPG I've ever read as well as the best self-published series. Between the character progression, the amazing sense of humor, and the relatability of the characters, this is my top recommendation for anyone interested in litRPGs. I fell in love so much that I had to sign up for the Patreon account so I could get my fix regularly (5 new chapters each week). I even managed to get my roommate hooked on the audiobooks. If you're looking for a fun story with loveable characters, surprising insights, and epic fights, this is for you.

A lot of useless skipping around...
Format: Kindle
So, I really enjoy the underlying story, but I really wish the writing was cleaned up. There were so many little sections, a few paragraphs to a few pages that were bouncing all over the place. And while some sort of moved the plot along, the vast majority were just filler. It would have been significantly more fluid if events were portrayed through characters experiences, than just having narration about everything happening all over. In addition, I know this is a web novel, and they tend to be written chapter by chapter. This, painfully, results in less cohesion from start to middle to end. The story ends up feeling choppy, and the overall arc throughout the book suffers. In fact, over >700 pages and we really didn't make a ton of headway until ~60% of the way through the book. That's when things really started. The majority before was fluff and filler. Useful, but only once distilled and refined. I'm really hoping that for future books, Shirtaloon spends some time really thinking what is critical for the plot, and how to incorporate as much of that plot progression through the lenses of the characters in lieu of just narrating pages and pages of stuff. For example, instead of spending 100s of pages on mentioning all the places in the world crumbling from infighting and corruption, instead portray that through the character. It reads so much better, and ends up being more concise, and allows for opportunities for further character development all while building the world. I love more story, but I'd prefer reading a 700 page story. Not a 400 page story in 700 pages. Let's make all the pages matter.
