RC Polaris Seaplane, 150% version
This is the latest RC plane I’ve built. It’s the Polaris, designed by jetset44 from RCGroups.
It’s built out of Dollar Tree foamboard, hot glue, some 1/32″ plywood, and packing tape. I chose to build the 150% version, which made the build a bit more difficult. Using cheaper and flimsier foam didn’t help matters either, but it turned out pretty well.
I’m running a Turnigy D2826 brushless motor, a Turnigy 2200mAh 40C 3 cell LiPo battery, a 40 amp Grayson Hobby ESC, and an 8×4 prop.
Notice the ITF url and image!
It flies really well.
Here’s a compilation of a few video clips of it in the air. I have flown it off of water, but I don’t have any footage of that yet.

Interesting plane, senor. You should post footage of flying off the water, too!

Mostly hot glue. Some rubber cement for laminating foam, and some Gorilla glue, but mostly hot glue.
