Gynormous Polaris

[PTKohlmann]

The Polaris club build earlier this year is going along pretty well.  15 kits were handed out, quite a few were started, and three have flown so far.

Member Steve Koll got his Polaris flying and was happy with its performance.  But after some surfing he has caught the bug to build a 200% version.  That bumps the wingspan to 58", which doesn't sound that big, but check out this video and you will see what we mean:

I reworked the cut file and Red has agreed to do the cutting again.  Steve ran up north to get the bluecor foam and he is now ready to go.

Steve is not a big computer guy, so he suggested that I open a thread on the project.  He grabbed enough bluecor to do extra of these big kits for some other builders.  If this is you, chime in!

Heya, Wylie

That's good--because I'm trying not to jump in!  Too much stuff in the hangar but this one is going to be fun.  Can't wait to see Big Momma flying with the little ducklings.

Btw--Drew and I took the Cougar for a joyride yesterday.  There's a milestone.

Progress?  Pics?  Did the cutting get done?

Steve told me at Opening Day that Red got one kit cut before his laser had a problem.  I haven't heard any updates since then.  I did hear from Red this week that he has his hands full moving, so I don't expect much in the way of additional kits for awhile.
