FB request for dxf files - Inkscape had two options and R12 and R14 version so I did both.

Thank you very much work on it tomorow

Think this might fly with a 50mm edf?

Where would you mount it?

Behind the battery hatch. Might eliminate the nacelle and set it up with elevons and keep the rudder

It would be a rocket!

Anyone try the Polaris with an F-pack or the equivelent, yet?

 

[jpot1]

@Addicted, the Racerstar motor I used was comparable to an F pack. Lots of fun!

Thanks @AIRFORGE! I can’t remember if I did 3 or 4. It’s just for looks. Did you fly yours yet?

Only successful low throttle glide tests, so far. Has been wet, and now it's way too windy here. We have a freeze headed our way tomorrow that's going to last into midweek. Hope to try to fly after that.
I built two and I'll be making two more for a friend. I've made a few changes...mostly marks/tabs/slots for alignment, mounted the aileron servos inside the fuse under the hatch in holes in the wing, changed the nose a bit, added magnets to the hatch.

When you assemble the tail, it has a channel in the center for the wires. It exits into the fuse. You'll probably need to add an extension to them to reach the esc.
The black parts are the window templates for the sides of the fuse. Just add a piece between them for the front part of the window.

does this plane work well on water?
i believe the polaris is supposed to be a seaplane, but haven't seen any vids of this one on water

The plans in this thread will need a few changes to make it waterproof, but the original designs were made for water.
Flite Test has a vid about the Polaris and Aqua Cat:

I put the rudder servo in the left side of the nacelle, and the elevator servo in the right side of the nacelle, different from the picture.
But, jpots pic shows the easiest way.
I modified and closed the nose (see attachments in post #72), but that's entirely up to you.
