Sixth Polaris flies

Just lovely to see Waz.

Thanks Waz!

Nice. What material are the builders using? I built one years ago with the original Depron but I hear its replacement is unsuitable for models😒

[@MrWaz11]

Well I believe that this is it's replacement. It is more brittle and probably not as flexible, but as we have shown can still be used. We have two colours: black and white. Black is heavier than the white but stronger. We are using 6 mm sheets.

@@MrWaz11 And it's still sold as Depron??

[@MrWaz11]

@hinterkress No. It is described as 'eXtruded polystyrene foam' in sheets 1000mm by 400mm. We got ours from a supplier in Australia called 'Foamie Flyers' who says that he imported them. I don't know the original source.

@@MrWaz11 Thanks, I'll have to look for it. The Polaris is a great flyer.
