Just some footage for review by the pilots. Too boring for public use. Don't watch this, it might put you to sleep. There isn't even any music or commentary. You have been warned. It's a real snooze job. Have a nice week. -~-~~-~~~-~~-~- Please watch: "Runcam Owl Plus Camera with Low Light PL0075 Lens Installed for Night FPV RC Flying" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5CrWcX20P8 -~-~~-~~~-~~-~- ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgXFBPrZG9s

ModelAero Polaris XL Sea Plane Build Series for FPV - Part 7 - Pedestal and Main Wing Install In this video ( https://youtu.be/BVgaKZiNvLY) we glue the pedestal to the rear of the main wing and then glue the main wing to the fuselage. It's starting to look like a plane now! Music is "A Bath Full Of Joy" from the Magix Video & Slideshow Sound Archive 8 - they don't say who the artist is.

The wing loading is even lighter and the gentle flight performance will amaze you, yet the XL is capable of some impressive aerobatics and a surprising turn of speed! The kit includes precision laser cut 6 mm Depron foam, nearly 10' of carbon fiber spars, laser cut hardware, pushrods, and fully illustrated construction guide on CD. The decal set is optional. The Polaris XL is a full build, but we've incorporated additional locking tabs to ease construction and speed up the build. We think you’ll find the build to be very straightforward and enjoyable. Recommended Power Setups: Package #1: Polaris Motor (2212-6 with 6x4 prop) This package uses the standard motor recommended for the 100% Polaris, the Suppo/Spinmax 2212-6, which weighs 47g. This motor has a KV of 2200, spins a 6x4E APC propeller at 19,000 RPM, and can take up to 28A for 60 seconds. The motor will draw about 20-22A at takeoff and in full throttle flight and cruise at 12 to 15A. Recommended ESC is 40A (with optional heatsink) and the battery should be 3s 2200 mAh 20C or better.

In this video we explore the various propellers that can be combined with the small AP03 brushless motors (7500kv and 4000kv) on a one cell (1s) LiPo battery power system. Results of the testing are at 04:44 Thrust testing is done on six different props on both motors and results are given for current, rpm, and trust in grams. There is some flight video at the end using a 5030 prop on the AP03 4000kv brushless motor. Thanks to Jon for building the thrust testing device utilizing a PIC processor to replace the usual the radio and the receiver. There is more info about the testing device in Jon's video on jmer77 channel here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqvJsN7NEPU Where to buy 1.5mm Pop Saver: I got some light weight plastic ones from BSDMicroRC http://www.bsdmicrorc.com/index.php?productID=665 Dave flies the Champ at the end of the video. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WMros9ZCjA
