Been having a lot of fun lately with my Polaris Ultra from ModelAero.

Maiden was a non-event and the HK Skipper proved to be a good trainer. On 4S the PU has gobs of power, although it is a bit rowdier than the Skipper. I did expect this, but it makes it a bit marginal as a park flyer although the bulk of the noise is created above about two thirds throttle, so I just give it the full welly at a bit of a distance from the huddled masses and it sounds OK.

Real easy to fly and great fun on the deck. A few of the guys in the States have been using them for FPV - not long range stuff, just hooning around at low level. They reinforce the hull (which already has a belly pan) and the PU can then can just bounce off anything that it grazes. ModelAero sell a drop in gimbal structure that just replaces the cockpit.

Haven't done any vids yet, so here's a retail one that shows how she flies - great model.
