Model Aero Polaris
Polaris EX Introduction
We’re excited to introduce the Polaris EX seaplane parkflyer! Based on the Polaris design by
Steve Shumate and inspired by Laddie
Mikulasko’s North Star seaplane, we’ve incorporated
some design changes worthy of a new model!
The most notable feature of the Polaris EX is it’s power system flexibility. It can be built as a
prop plane or EDF utilizing the new 10 blade RC Lander 68 mm EDF. And the power systems
can be swapped out in less than 10 minutes! She flies equally well on both power systems but
we prefer the incredible sound of the new lightweight EDF. With an AUW of 28 oz. the EDF
performance is exceptional!
The kit features simple sheet foam construction and the plane boasts excellent handling
qualities, both in the air and on the water. In flight this model is smooth and stable, yet also
very aerobatic. On the water it tracks straight as an arrow and takes off and lands effortlessly.
