Its not a secret that this F3P season in Europe is quite empty, so i find time for fun activities, and what can be better than crazy VPP stuff? With some planning and preparation i get chance to shoot latest VPP tricks in very interesting pbackground. Can you imagine better place to shoot RC video than huge international airport hangar?;) So special thanks for help making this video goes to FlyLal technics and MyResearch.lt

Line of my latest and most successful designs!
If you want try something new try using Elevator flaperons mix for more effective elevator.
VPP flying is quite difficult and complex thing, so first for pilots who have not much experience with 3D ore indoor flying, i suggest build Arrow with usual setup (motor mounted in front). this way you will get use to plane and his flying, and then you be ready to build second Arrow with Variable pitch propeller mounted inside fuselage.
Arrow build from same plan only with ussual setup, motor and propeller mounted in front.
Only thing different here was airfoiled wing from styrofoam. In any case this was just test from curiosity, to see how well airfoiled wing shocky will fly. Result was not bad, specially i had to say snap rolls become reall snap rolls not imitation. Bad thing was it is not practical, its more fragile than regular 3mm depron flat wing and have bigger weight. So in your case i suggest you to try regular 3mm flat depron wing, it will fly good. If you need very agile plane increase aileron compensator size and move aileron hinge line about 15mm infront from one that shown in plans (this is not possible with VPP plane since propeller is no the way).
