Polaris Kit
Polaris Kit
The Old School Model Works Laser-Cut Polaris Kit brings Bill Evans' iconic Simitar flying wing into the modern era with simplified, precision building features. Utilizing an innovative ESA semi-symmetrical reflexed airfoil, this RC airplane kit offers jet-like aesthetics, an exceptionally broad speed range, and virtually stall-free flight performance.
Stand out at the flying field with the Old School Model Works Laser-Cut Polaris Kit. Featuring exclusive Web-Lock construction, the self-aligning balsa and plywood components interlocking rib structure allows you to build wing panels straight and true with total confidence. Designed for short elevon linkages and high-speed responsiveness, this balsa model aircraft also features an oversized spring-locked hatch for seamless 4S LiPo battery access. Whether powered by a brushless motor or a classic glow engine, the Polaris delivers rock-solid tracking, responsive aerobatics, and floaty, hang-glider-like landings.
What type of aircraft design is the Old School Model Works Laser-Cut Polaris Kit?
The Old School Model Works Laser-Cut Polaris Kit features a Simitar flying wing layout with a reflexed ESA airfoil. This unique aerodynamic shape provides exceptionally smooth directional stability, a wide speed range, and stall-resistant flight characteristics.
Is the Old School Model Works Laser-Cut Polaris Kit suited for electric or gas power?
The Old School Model Works Laser-Cut Polaris Kit supports both electric and glow power systems. You can equip it with a 700+ watt electric setup (2820-1080kV motor, 60A ESC, 4S 3300mAh LiPo) or a .40-.61 two-stroke glow engine.
What extra items are required to complete the Old School Model Works Laser-Cut Polaris Kit?
To finish building the Old School Model Works Laser-Cut Polaris Kit, you will need a 4-channel radio system with 3-4 standard servos, a power system (brushless motor/ESC or glow engine), propeller, pushrods, clevises, wheels (2.25" nose, 2.5" mains), 3" spinner, and covering film.
How does Web-Lock construction aid in assembling the Old School Model Works Laser-Cut Polaris Kit?
Web-Lock construction uses shear webs during the initial build phase to automatically position, space, and lock each wing rib into place. This guarantees a straight, twist-free wing panel with minimal fuss.
