Telemetry has traditionally been banned in most Soaring contests, except for battery voltage feedback, and in most contest formats the argument has always been that Soaring must remain a “pure” sport where we use our bodies to feel the changes in the air and decide where to fly without the help of external or “onboard” technologies.

The Xplorer F3J model, produced by NAN Models in Bulgaria, is said to be the most popular molded F3J/Thermal Duration model in the world since its introduction to the US market in mid-2008. The Xplorer had success in 2007 in the hands of European pilots, including Benedikt Feigl, who won the F3J World Championship in 2008 with a v-tail version.
