Hi,

I am building my second polaris out of depron foam 6mm. The first one flew good off grass.

Is there any tips on making this fly better.

I was thinking of tipping the motor up just a little, to help it get off water?

The thrust of the engine should be set to make the plane fly in the air, not help it take off. If there are issues in taking off there are larger issues others places, like poor design, incorrect balance, not enough power, etc.

Have you read the thread on RCG for the Polaris? it is miles long and has every answer you could want. 1251 pages of information on the Polaris.

Buzz.

P.S. I have 2 of them and they jump off the ground or water.

Big is not a good enough description of that thread. MASSIVE, GIGANTIC to start with.

They have all sorts of modifications in that thread. people have built smaller ones and larger ones.

grab a couple pots of coffee, and take a few days or weeks to read through that thread.

Buzz.
