VTPR style of sailplane aerobatics is the extreme in slow and low
aerobatic agility with a non-motorized model glider. This collection of
video's shows the distinct abilities of both model and pilot. Feel free to
submit your VTPR video and we will post and give full credits as this
library grows... Enjoy!

New experimentation and building techniques in 2011 have brought to the field of
aerobatics some very interesting models. Low lift and wind conditions require an
airframe that is both durable and lightweight but also a level of high performance
aerobatics at lower than normal air speeds. What you see her are a collection of these
new experiments that are advancing week by week. This type of flying isn't for
everybody but one must admit it looks very fun.
