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.

"I ordered Christian fairy tales on the internet and they sent me Hans Christian Andersen ones by mistake!"---Ned Flanders
Format: Paperback
As was first done with "Simpsons Comics Hit The Road," "Simpsons Comics Get Some Fancy Book Learnin'" actually follows the theme of the title and cover art. All the comics have the Simpsons characters portraying figures in literature from Greek Mythology to Shakespeare. The longer comics are very well done but some of the shorter ones at the end fall flat. Still, I enjoyed this change of pace from the usual Simpsons comics. It offers a very clever use of characters. "Greek To Me"--Homer plays, well, Homer (the Greek poet) who tells four stories to a gathering of children. The first is "The Labors of Hercules" with Bart as Hercules. He only completed 10, but hey, 10 out of 12 is a B+ which is the best grade Bart ever got. In the second story, Homer is Hades who abducts Marge...er, Persephone...and is taken to court over it. In the third story, Selma is Medusa and Perseus (Bart) has to cut of her head or face 100 years detention. Finally, Homer tells a string of Aesop's Fables like "The Fox and the Grapes," "The Tortoise and the Hare," and--my favorite--"The Ant and the Grasshopper" where Homer is the grasshopper and Flanders is a hilarious-looking ant! There are a lot of clever lines in this one, especially Barney as Oedipus. "Pandora, Jr."--A 5-page comic with Lisa explaining the story of Pandora's Box to Maggie. Maggie doesn't learn the lesson. Fairy Tales--Ralph plays Humpty Dumpty in a 2-page short, then there are a string of Hans Christian Andersen tales that Lisa saves from the Flanders's book burning BBQ. Lisa reads the stories to Rod and Tod. There is "The Little Mermaid", "The Prince and the Pea" (featuring Smithers and Mr. Burns), "The Shadow" (featuring the Comic Book Guy), "Thumbelina", and "The Story of a Mother." My favorite is "The Ugly Duckling." I like the scene where Marge the swan takes in the ugly duckling Bart saying, "It's not like I haven't compromised before," while watching a fat Homer swan swigging beer and burping. Arabian Tales--Dunyazad (Marge) tells King Shahryar (Moe) stories to keep from being put to death. The first one is the best. Ned Flanders is Aladdin who finds a lamp containing an incompetent genie (Homer). His wishes grant him an all-you-can-eat buffet and go-go bar and an angry wife Maude brought from the dead in skeleton form. The other stories are "Apu Baba and the Four Thieves" and "Sinbart The Sailor." Shakespeare--Plays parodied are "Antony and Cleopatra," "Julius Caesar," "Henry V," "Romeo and Juliet," "The Two Gentlemen of Verona," "Richard III," "Titus Andronicus" (in Itchy and Scratchy cartoon form), and "King Lear." Most of these, in terms of punch lines, are pretty weak. Bible Stories--Bart tells Rod and Tod some Bible stories to calm them down after they find out Sunday School is canceled. The stories parodied are "The Prodigal Son," "Abraham's Sacrifice," and "Noah's Ark." These comics were, on the whole, funnier than the Shakespeare ones.

An enjoyable Simpson Comic
Format: Paperback
Now this is a fun book. It largely uses the same tv formula of irreverent humor to poke fun at the classics. The Simpsons and their extended family in Springfield play all the roles to perfection. The only thing that stops me from giving this a 5 star rating is that there are too many stories and they all seem slightly short and episodic.

A great way to introduce the classics to your kid
Format: Paperback
I mean it. It's very funny, yet introduces a number of important stories and characters from greek mythology and the Bible right though to Shakespeare. Will be funnier when my son reads the actual stories these are based on. A whole lotta compare and contrast will ensue, I imagine. I think it will pique his interest in the classics.
