Slope VTPR is center-stage on M.A.N.

I am very pleased to announce the new VTPR Aerobatics article by yours truly is posted on MODEL AIRPLANE NEWS, the #1 RC aircraft magazine in the world! Hats off to Debra Cleghorn for publishing, the greater VTPR community including Pierre’ Rondel of Planet-Soaring out of France. Steve Lange of SlopeAerobatics.com and the long list of dedicated slope aerobatic fliers and modelers for their contribution to the style.

The American VTPR scene is now on track to a bright and growing future of which could not have been possible without the French European influence of such names as Gerard Prat, Eric Poulain, Remi Le Besque, Benoit Paysant-Le Roux, Guillaume Leroyer, François Cahour, Erwan Laurans and our own Dawson Henderson. These stalwart and innovative model designers and pilots are who VTPR hobbyists such as myself look up to for inspiration and example. The roots of VTPR is forever planted with such as these...

It’s been quite a ride and inspirational being a part of the VTPR vision here in America the last 2-1/2 years of which I’m very humbled. Let’s keep this train rolling and new models built and flying!  

Good Lift… Eric

Sunset VTPR



And in Awesome Dawsons own words -

This is part of the evening session at Temple Hill (CA) on our first ever VTPR event this past Saturday (07-09-11). We had a great afternoon of flying in good lift... 12-16 mph. As the sun was getting low, the light got very nice and the lift mellowed out a bit and got very glassy. We had a magical sunset session. It was a great way to end the day.

Low and Slow VTPR at the crater



Another really nice VTPR practice session by "Awesome Dawson" Henderson out of Flagstaff AZ. He's sporting his heavy Le Fish getting low, ground "0" low for you sports fans! Add a few more pounds to her D and you'll be able to make some money digging ditches LOL...
