I'm going to do a build guide on this one as I've done a few builds in my time but this one will have a comprehensive build guide from start to finish
I'll setup the plans and try to photograph each step and I'll throw in any hints and tips to make the build go as smooth as possible, by doing this I hope to can generate a little more interest in the scratchbuilds and hopefully get a few more flying these down at kirky.
heres a few that others have already built
this is the recommended setup and I'll probably go a little higher just to be on the safe side Himax 2025-5300 | 2100 mAh 11.1 V lipo, | APC 7x6 prop | 25 amp ESC.
I might even ask Daz to paint this one I know he enjoys a challenge? again photos will be taken at each stage.
Finally here's a video of steves finished plane for those that have built the polaris steve designed that also. Watch the wingsweep in the video now is that cool or what?
