| Vagabond 1500mm EPP from Hacker Model |
VTPR or slope ultrabatics is a crazy way to fly on the
slopes but also a lot of crazy fun! Just look at the videos on Steve Lange’s
wonderful website www.slopeaerobatics.com if you’ve never heard before.
The most famous plane that started it all for most
proponents is the Le Fish an EPP lightweight, an open source plan and also available
as a short kit. I built one with 180
degree elevator throws, goop, 3m 77 spray, lightweight laminating film etc and like
any EPP model a lot of work, never mind all the materials to source and new
skills needed for EPP construction!
If you wanted to get into VTPR/ultrabatics there was really
no other option.

Now there is with the Hacker Model Vagabond recently
revealed at Neuremberg exhibition, it looks very similar to a Le Fish but with none of the hard work building as it's ARF. It's already foil covered, adding strength to the EPP. It just needs radio install but is dead easy with all the hardware supplied. I just had to bring them in and I have! Expected delivery in 3-4wks and pricing
£109.00, get you name down for one as I have a feeling that Ultrabatics is going to get very popular! Here’s what Steve Lange has to say about
the Vagabond http://www.slopeaerobatics.com/2014/02/04/vagabond-1500-from-hacker-model-finally-an-arf-ultrabatics-glider/
